The Day the Earth Stopped Parking

I started writing because, well, that’s what I do, what I’m paid to do. Then I saw this guy, staring at me. I knew something was up.

“What are you doing?”

I looked up. “Writing a ticket, can’t park here.”

“But I have to park here. There’s no area big enough, except here.”

“This is Central Park, buddy. No parking, despite the name.”

“But…”

“What’s your name?” I asked thrusting the parking ticket into his hand.

“Klaatu, but…”

“That’s a parking ticket I just issued,” I said pointing to the paper in the guy’s hand. “You have fourteen days to pay.”

“But I’m here on a peace mission. Earth is in danger.”

I smiled a hard, NYPD cop smile. “Move your saucer buddy, or I’ll tow it.”
