Our benevolent alien overlords later marvelled at how easily they had conquered the planet. All it had taken was an absurd little art installation – the perfect cover for their illuminous eggy bodies. How they’d laughed at being mistaken for a conceptual comment on gender equality.
‘Blue for a boy, pink for a girl,’ Glarf howled with glee, its abdomen turning the optimum shade of magenta.
‘Stand back,’ it warned its fellow conquerors. A violent shivering expungement of lust cause the surrounding water to bubble and fizz. The overlord’s abdomen was blue once more.
With its libido in check Glarf got back to the business of running the place and eating people.

Ha! The aliens should be careful, these fair going people are not the healthiest foods.
Hey! Good to see you, missed your posts!
Seems a while since you were last here. Back with a vengeance, I see.
Very clever! Well done, Martin.
Have you noticed the way they don’t eat redheads?
too rich / racy!
Love the title by the way!
But they look so nice!
I hope their stomachs are strong… digesting these beings ain’t gonna be easy.
Very creative eggy aliens! Entertaining tale.
Aliens with humour and a libido – that hass too be a first. I love it.
Lol, a fairly peaceful take over! 💜
Love that title :). Spine-chilling, to say the least.
Alien oval-lords..snort..ha..ha..that itself is worth the price of admission. Liked your take on the prompt.
