Illegal Aliens!

I hope you enjoy the 175 word long Lowenbrau Story…

When Grandmamma and Grandpapa Lowenbrau, Great Aunt Eunice, Little Wendy, and the Danger Twins awoke, Mother thought they must be somewhere between Trieste and Venice, which was surprising as the blinds of the ancient train carriage were down.

The rhythmic sound of mechanical wheels must have sent them all to sleep.

“When did we board this train?”

“Do you know I really haven’t the faintest idea!” said Mother, perplexed.

They tried the door which was locked.

“Weren’t we driving to Ljubljana?” asked Grandpappa.

“I remember seeing a bright light!” said little Wendy.

Something beyond the door said something like “Tyiquettes!”

“Look outside Eunice!” commanded Grandmamma.

Eunice touched the blind which shot up and revealed through the window stars and galaxies flying past at immense speed while at that moment a gelatinous creature burst in through the sham-carriage door wielding a probing implement.

“Tut tut tut!” said Great Aunt Eunice.

Suddenly there as a great flash and they found themselves back in their hire car on the way to Ljubljana.

“Well that is just typical” sighed mother.

A train line to the sky. Were the Lowenbraus abducted by aliens or had Mother been at the Slivovitz again?
