My latest “100 Word Stories” microfiction:

The Moon is Occupied

“The Moon is occupied by demons.”

“What?”

“The Moon is occupied by demons!” he screamed this time.

Though dumbfounded, I was still able to squeak out some words: “I… don’t understand.”

When a NASA astronaut had agreed to be interviewed, I was ecstatic. This was not what I had in mind.

“Bah!” the astronaut spat out. “Why else have we not returned in over fifty years?”

Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I played along. “Now what, then? We’ll never go back?”

“I never said that. We need to contact the Church in Rome. We must exorcise the Moon!”
