“It sounds awful!” said the Alien. She stepped back
towards the door. “Why does she keep that cover over her
face?”
“It’s because she looks funny,” Josh said. “Well, not
really funny. Just horrible really.”
The Alien was staring in my direction with her mouth
open. Was our plan working, I wondered?
“Really?” she said. “What sort of horrible?”
“Well,” Josh explained. “Sort of red blotchy and
purple scabby horrible.”
As long as I kept the sheet over my face she would
probably believe it. I moaned and groaned and The Alien
looked more and more horrified.
“It sounds gross doesn’t it?” Josh said. “As I say, I’m
surprised you want to come and stay really.”
