• What do you see?
• Hmm… Porn mags.
• Seriously?
• No, Doc, just kidding. Looks like space science, rocketry or so.
• Can you read my some titles?
• Er, no. Cryptical letters. Are these Chinese… ouch! What are you doing.
• Only adjusting some params. How is it now?
• Well, yeah, better. But I don’t understand anything yet. Tri-Lipi-what? Can you make me understand that stuff? Would be great, me a rocket scientist! Hihi…
• Keep serious, man!
• But you wired my brain to that machine, stimulating my neurologicacacack sweestymama Aiiiooh-gnarp-gnarp. Knairidoodlewagabbimucha trullaroo… What did you do.
• Adjusting again. Better now?
• Slightly.
• What did you say?
• You don’t want to know. Hey, the mags have gone. They’re apples now.
• Really?
• No kidding, Doc.
• Try to grab one.
• Can’t. I have no hands either.
• What?
• One is a screwdriver, the other a…broccoli?
• Oh no! Try this.
• Ooooh-oh! That’s funny! More of this, please.
• Wait, I have an idea.
• Tell me.
• People would pay more to take a science mag for porn than the other way. Let’s try this out…
• WHOA! OH MY GOD!

"It's just floating there."

"I know."

"There's a force field. No-one can get near it."

"Yeah, I know. Even 'People' said that."

"I want to see it."

"Why go see a used car?"

"Huh?"

"It's like a parked car with a 'For Sale' sign. UFO for sale."

"I wonder how much they want for it."

"You couldn't fly it."

"I could learn."

"You're crazy."

"Bet all the celebs in 'People' would want a ride."

"Huh... I wonder how much they want for it."

@jeffc I might do an "UFO for sale" prompt in the future and if you do a story about magazines over a table I'll send you an issue of "People" 😆

Now I have this vision of a UFO yard sale, where they've laid out tables full of magazines pulled from different points in Earth's history. "Check it out: Scientific American, volume 1! And look at this pamphlet from 1790!"
