Worlds Apart?
Written by: Jackie Jordan
“So, here you are! I have found you at last. I have been searching for you for weeks. The success of our mission is at risk due to your insolence. Your evasiveness has caused untimely delays in our departure. Why do you insist on hiding? Is it a frivolous notion that you want to be with the human beings? You know that they are mere animals seeking personal gratification in every moment of their lives. Their ultimate goal is geopolitical dominance of their planet. They war over land, natural resources and religion. Their species is capable of unimaginable cruelties. They murder and maim their own species and possess nefarious qualities such as greed, hatred, lust, and sloth, unlike our Utopian civilization. Their population suffers from poverty, starvation and disease. Our planet is united, bonded as one entity with one common goal – survival of our race. Don’t sympathize with the creatures, for they are inferior to us in so many ways. We are thousands of years more evolved than them. We have completed our work here, and your presence is needed back on the ship. You have hidden in this hovel long enough. You cannot stay here another minute. It is a long way home, so gather your things and let us depart. The ship awaits.”
“But, I am in love.”
