Flash Fiction #18 – Intelligent Life

The spaceship went from planet to planet 

collecting the 51 types of entities. 

They were all colors, 

shapes, 

and chemical compositions. 

What they had in common

was their official inclusion in the

Intergalactic Federation of Intelligent Life.

The spaceship had one species left to get. 

The little Kranliens, being Kranliens, 

bounced and cheered 

when the ship landed

on the green and blue planet. 

 

“No,” 

said the spaceship. 

“This planet’s dominated

by a bipedal species 

that is not yet ready. 

We’re just making a pit stop.”
