I think this picture of whatever this is, would be a great story starter. What do you think?

Once there was a green slimy space alien that fell from the bright blue sky. Plop! It landed on the school lawn. “I want my mommy!” the creature cried out! “Bleep, bleep, bleep…” it began to weep sorrowfully. Instead of running away, I knelt down and picked it up. Immediately I knew  I probably should not have done that, for instantly my hands turned green, tight, and leathery! My palms began to sweat and the creature looked at me inquisitively and asked, “Mommy?”

Now it’s your turn, write your own story starter for this picture and be creative!
