My latest “100 Word Stories” microfiction:

The Klutuan Horde

For eons, the always ravenous Klutuan Horde had been traveling through space in search of food. Having consumed all lifeforms in the Andromeda Galaxy, they moved on to the Milky Way.

The horde consumed planets, one-by-one, until they reached Earth. And that was the end of the Klutuans.

Yes, reader. You read that right.

Why? What tipped the scales in Earth’s favor against the ever-consuming Klutuan Horde?

Is it the terrain? No.

Its atmosphere? Nope.

Is it the inhabitants, humanity? Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!

None of that.

Earth had the one thing that stopped the Klutuan Horde: Divine Providence.
