PLANET WISPOOP AND THE COSMIC BURGER
The first full day that their parents decided to leave them alone without a babysitter was the day Sarah found out that her older brother was an intergalactic space agent. There was nothing on TV, nothing to play, nothing to do.
"Adam, I'm bored."
"Yeah, me too." He threw the magazine he'd been flicking through onto the floor. "Hey, are you hungry?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"I know where you can get the best burger."
"...but it's raining."
"Doesn't matter. Come on."
And he led her upstairs.
"...but...Adam"
"Come on."
Inside his bedroom he pulled a thick dictionary off a shelf, and opened it. It was fake. Inside there was a hole with a miniature gun that was barely the size of Sarah's thumb, and a tiny keypad that looked like a calculator.
"What is that? What are you doing?"
"Shhhhh."
He pressed a few buttons on the keypad. Then picked up the gun, pointed it at Sarah and shot her.
The next thing she knew was that she was standing in the middle of a fast food restaurant. There were hundreds of plastic tables and chairs, and a long service counter, with big menu screens and tills. Behind the till there were a couple of servers. Only they weren't people.

Sarah looked around in panic. Some of the tables were filled with customers, but not one of them was human. There were six small green aliens with one eye in the middle of their head, seven fingers on each hand, and big floppy ears and noses. There were several big hairy black aliens with huge fangs, and five legs each. They were covered in boils that were oozing white pus all over the burgers that they were eating. There was a giant pink alien that looked like two huge round balls stuck together. It had massive black eyes and eyelashes and a goofy smile, and it was so big that it couldn't fit in the table and chairs. There was a table with five knee high purple three eyed aliens. A table with fifteen green spider like creatures that were covered in red eyes. A table with two kissing yellow snake like things, and...Adam. He had appeared next to her.
"Sorry. The phone rang."
"Whwhwhw.....where on EARTH are we? WhatARE these things?"
"We're not on Earth, and these things are aliens." He said calmly.
" ....bbbbuuuttt...wwwwhhaaaat.. .."
"Those are Wispooooops." He said pointing to the purple aliens with pink spots. "Grooters, Zigots, a Looloo, Meemoos, Arachnoids, and the yellow kissing snakes are Frangolies. Stop staring at them, and
