My dad disappeared and returned fifteen years later, dressed in the same suit. “Hi, son.”
“Where’ve you been?”
“It’s a long story.”
“How long?”
“Over a hundred words.”
“That’s a pity.”
“Why?”
“I can’t fit that into a drabble.”
“I’ll abbreviate it.”
“Go on then.”
“I was abducted by aliens. They performed hideous experiments on me in their attempt to understand our race. I would have died – but one fell in love with me and helped me escape.”
I sighed and invited him in. He was lying, of course, but that didn’t matter. At least he was home again.
