A number of years ago there was an in depth study that determined that more disposable pens were produced that could exist on the planet. This was of course conclusive proof that 1) there is life on other planets 2) they write 3) they are too lazy to produce disposable pens.
Over time this hypothesis of extra terrestrial needs for goods we produce has been extended. Scrunchies, tooth paste and book markers all appear to be desirable objects. There is some good proof that these creatures have one foot, hence the missing sock phenomena.
Recently I have observed that these fiends, yes my friends; FIENDS, are become more evil, and possessive.
I live in a small holme on Baker Street (Ooops that slipped out), it is tidy (ish) modern unit and I keep it neat, most of the time. Someone does break in and leave dirty dishes, but that is another story.
Recently I have lost two new paperback books, partially read, a supply of prescription meds ( of use to anyone except a T-woman) and a rather nice very sharp knife that I pruned bushes, plants and passer-byes in the street, when I was having a psychopathic moment. All as you can tell, harmless essential items. We won't talk about the semtex, that's bound to turn up with a bang.
Do others have these occurrences? Are the FIENDS getting more daring?
So beware, if you are approached by a one-legged cross-dressing alien holding a sharp knife while reading a book by Jo Nebos, confuse it by asking it if you can borrow a Biro. Then run.
