can anyone suggest a good 200 word fiction alien story?

"Ships Found Floating in the Ocean!"
Off the coast of Bermuda the other night, vacationers on a cruise ship reported that they had seen some strange lights in the sky. Upon hearing those reports, the captain of the ship was said to have muttered something about the Bermuda Triangle, and then ordered everyone away from him. In the morning, those same passengers from the night before awoke to see three ancient ships floating off the port bow. They reported this to the captain also, who already knew of their existence. He told passengers that he intended to go and explore the ships. He found them to be very interesting, because there appeared to be nobody on them. After he and a couple crew members boarded the closest ship, the searched it from top to bottom. One crew member noted that the name of the ship was Nina. While the captain thought he remembered that name from somewhere in history, the names of the other two boats were reported to be the Pinta and the Santa Maria. While the captain pondered this, a crew member with him noticed a piece of paper on the deck. He reached down and picked it up, and as he read it, he got a very bewildered look on his face. The Captain noticed, and grabbed the paper from him. It’s reported that the color drained from the captains face as he read out loud these words; "We are from the planet Fropple. We came years ago and grabbed these specimens from your seas. Although we found that your food was tasty, and your people made good pets, we found no good use for the pieces of wood with sails. Being that we were cruising through your part of the galaxy again, we decided to drop them off to you. By the way, the pet who insists on calling himself Christopher Columbus keeps bothering me to ask you to save him, he can’t take it anymore. There, I asked maybe now he will be quiet." With that, the Coast Guard was called in to get the ships, and the President ordered NASA to start planning a rescue for the national hero stuck in space.
