Alien Babysitter

 
Microfiction theme: An undisclosed location
 

The apartment is empty. My alien roommate isn’t here. I use my phone to call him.

 

“Where are you?” I ask.

 

“I’m at an undisclosed location.” He answers.

 

I hear screaming and chaos from the apartment next door. I close my eyes and pray for patience.

 

“Is that undisclosed location next door?”

 

There’s a pause before he answers, “No?”

 

I see my football player neighbors running from their apartment, screaming about a weird-looking rat.

 

“Sorry, that’s just my ugly-ass cat!” I shout, running in, grabbing the sixteen-legged ball of puff, and chuck him into our apartment.

 

I hate this job.

This microfiction is being made into a short film. The screenplay has been written. The story board is finished. All we need to do now is shoot the movie. I’ll update this entry as we progress.
