Mount Everest
EARLY APRIL
by John Yeo
’The thing is; Bill: There are too many people here. This base camp is becoming overcrowded. Someone was wandering around in the dark outside our tent last night. I woke and went outside, but all I could see was a large shadow heading towards the mess tent.’
Bill looked astonished at this revelation.
Fortescue continued. ‘During supper some time ago Sherpa was telling us the locals have a legend about a saucer in the sky that landed here for some days and then took off. Rumour has it one of the aliens stayed behind. They have seen him on the mountain and they call him Yeti. Professor Rawlings believes there is a monster on the prowl. He found a large pile of excreta on the foothill, roughly covered with snow. Apparently, he’s sent a sample off to the lab for analysis.’
‘Really, Forty is it April 1st. already?’

Teehee! Yeti is ET? Quaint idea!
Thanks Penny! I’m glad you enjoyed this. 😊
This explains how the Yeti can vanish without a trace–he’s just beaming up!
Exactly Karen. A mythological Space invader, reconstituted by the beam of a smile. 😊
Chuckle, giggle, chortle!
That was a fun one, John.
Thanks for reading it Dale. I’m happy that you enjoyed it. 😊
High altitude tomfoolery. Cute story. Adding Dr Rawlings to the rumor and innuendo makes the story almost believable. But in the end, his friend realizes, it’s a pile of Yeti-poo. 😊
