Little Things - 3. The Point Of No Return

Very short bit of fun.

The Point of No Return

 

“Did you see that sign, Dsimt?” Czapt asked.

“No, I am monitoring that human show 20/20. We are on auto pilot,” replied Dsimt as he peered at a screen. “What did it say?”

“It said: Turn Back Now. Before It’s Too Late.” Czapt said. He faced Dsimt.“What is 20/20?”

“It’s a show about things that happen to humans. I thought that we could learn more about them by watching it.”

“Are you learning more?”

“I am.” Dsimt said.

“Look, there’s another sign.” Czapt exclaimed. “This one says: You are nearing the Point of No Return, Turn Back. Why are these signs out here?”

Dsimt watched the 20/20 show intently. “I think I know, Czapt.”

“Why? What have you learned?” Czapt, looked over Dsimt’s shoulder.

“I’ve learned that we should not waste our time visiting Earth. Humans keep things called pets. Some keep large ruminants in their homes, others sleep with dogs, they murder each other, have their doctors carve them up so they look better, they build weapons that will kill all life on the planet and won’t stop fighting amongst themselves.”

“Oh my, perhaps you’re right, Dsimt.”

“Yet, Czapt, there are some humans which seem intelligent and want to preserve life and their culture. These are the humans I wish to meet.”

Czapt looked at Dsimt quizzically, “But you said we shouldn’t waste our time visiting.”

“No, we shouldn’t visit,” agreed Dsimt. He smiled ruefully. “I think we should to mount a rescue mission instead.”

I wrote this after watching 20/20. It was about people who lived with a manner of creatures inside their homes. It was so odd it made me wonder what aliens would think about us. Thanks for reading.. it's just a giggle. tim xox

haha I've wondered what other life forms would think of us too.  I can't imagine they'd want to actually come down here, and now after reading this I wonder who they'd "rescue" ;)

Too Funny! :gikkle:   This got me thinking...if aliens watched 20/20, Dateline, 48 Hours and the evening news of any channel, they'd really think humans are insane and will probably nuke the planet to save the other beings in the galaxies from us. It would be like a line from a 70's horror movie I can't remember the name of... "Kill it before it multiplies". :rofl:

We really need to clean up our act !  BUT I'm hoping that we'd be able to save ourselves (as implied / indicated in "Interstellar")

:unsure:

Aw, thanks Def! Yes 16 lines - doesn't sound a lot does it?  Oh well, just a bit of fun. It's been in my Documents for i dont know how long now. A discussion about UFOs reminded me it was there...

Thanks hoho!

 

Are we going to do what humans do ... wreck the joint and then run away?  Maybe we should clean up our act here before moving on to strip another planet? Problem with humans is, they never learn. And that's why we can't let you out into the univ ...oh what am i saying? Please just relax and come this way ... wiping your memory will only take a second... :)
