You Know Too Much – Mondays Finish the Story

Today I am taking part in Mondays Finish the Story.
This is a flash fiction challenge where you are given a photo prompt to use, and the opening line to the story. The goal is to write a story, with a beginning, middle and end, using 100-150 words.

“Would anyone know if there truly was an alien invasion?” That was the topic of discussion as my Mom and I sat on the deck watching the praying mantis as it hung from the black-eyed Susan.

“Do you remember that time we were driving back from San Francisco on 280?” I asked.

“What time would that be?” my Mom replied.

“It was night time, remember? All those planes stacked up to fly into SFO; we were saying how would we ever know if any one of those lights in the sky could be an alien craft.”

“Oh, yes, I do remember that. There were what, 15 planes coming in?”

The head of the praying mantis swiveled in our direction; the tiny black pupils looked first at my Mom, then at me. Its jaws began to move ever so slightly.

“Humans,” it said, “you know too much.”

A beam of light shone down surrounding us. In a flash, they took us.
