Land After Time

Q. What do you call an overweight ET?
A. An extra cholesterol

     How will the world end?  People have imagined numerous ways the world might end such as a flood, heat, frost, zombie apocalypse, nuclear war, black hole, asteroid, pandemic, or even evil robots gone. Truth is the world as we know it will come to a screeching halt in 50 years. Four fingered, green creatures will trample our plant and kill everyone in roughly 0.0065 seconds with their UFO guns.

     Paul overlooks the damage done to this strange land away from home. He scavenges threw the blasted remains of a large farm house. He searches in hope of finding a mysterious treasure to bring back to his pals. He notices a slice of tree laying on the torched floor. These earthlings seemed to have scratched a drawing into the wood flake. The one creature fits the criteria that has been determined for these beings. It obtains the strange long hair and big mouth that had been sighted by the trillions upon landing on this place. The other being confuses his senses. The thing on the slip seems normal. This thought blows his mind. He can not recall a visit to this land in the years before. The friend drawn before him seems to be one of his kind. These mistaken thoughts expand in his brain. Flipping through scenario after scenario of ways these creatures could have known of his planets residents. He often reverts back to the idea that he was just quick to jump to conclusions. The gun then reassures his wacky inferences. The friendly body has to be one of his kind.

     Now that these creatures are dead, being exposed no longer threatens Paul. Yet, he still proceeds to question the past. Who believed in these obscure drawings? Did these beings really know of our existence?

  1. I thought it was super creative how you had the world end and an alien find your picture! I loved hearing the aliens thoughts. Plus, the joke at the beginning was super funny!

  2. The way you told the story was very creative way of describing the photo. Using an alien was quite an unusual way of doing it, but very cool. Also, I agree with the idea that aliens will destroy our society.

  3. When I heard this assignment this wasn't what I thought of. It is a completely different direction than I went. That's a good thing. Good job thinking outside of the box.
