On March 9th, 2015, three objects were reportedly seen in the skies over the Borracho Todos los Tiempos Vineyards.
‘Shush,’ Pete says. ‘Let’s listen.’
I cannot believe it’s made the news. Then again, borracho todos los tiempos is trending worldwide.
It’s mainly vox pops from other people on holiday. Everyone they interview adds something: an unearthly hum, a metallic tang in the air, temperature dropping.
Pete laughs.
We took a tour of the vineyard, bought a couple cases of rosé, drank most of it. Just before we went to bed, Pete took the shot.
‘Let’s all tweet it, for a laugh.’
They’re planes, not UFOs. We knew it and we were drunk.
I doubt anyone will believe us, though.

I love today’s Monday’s Finish the Story photo prompt. It’s bound to inspire lots of different stories.
haha! I bet that’s how most UFO “sitings” begin. A couple of drunk kids messing around. Lol.

Thanks, PJ! That’s exactly what I was thinking: people can’t help themselves and before you know it, the story’s taken on a life of its own. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

This reminds me of Loch Ness Monster hype, or Fairies at the botton of the Garden. As others have said, it’s probably the way all these ‘strange’ tales and sightings are spread. Very well written, Sonya.

Those stories were on my mind when I wrote this. I want Nessie to be real, but it’s much more likely she’s the result of a busy night at the pub… Cheers, Millie!
