Here's another Tuesday Treat dedicated to flash fiction. The prompt from Flash Fiction Flourish inspired this week's piece. Enjoy!
The Immaculate Association
The robed human male
known as Brother Ron approached the leader of the Sargarian delegation, known
more commonly as the Grand Wen. A sneering
green scaled face indicated disdain.
First contact between
humans and the lizard-like species started out on reasonably good terms. Unfortunately, the mingling of two species
resulted in various kinds of cultural clashes.
“We have met with
enough of your missionaries,” the Grand Wen announced firmly. “We have no interest in whatever religion you
might be selling.”
“Missionaries are
salesmen of a different kind,” Brother Ron assured the assembly. He set down a trunk. He popped it open and pulled out a
cylindrical mechanism with a long hose. “We
of the Immaculate Association believe that cleanliness is next to
godliness. Our mission is to ensure your
people have access to a variety of cleaning products guaranteed to make your
lives easier.”
