June
1971
There
was a rash of UFO sightings. The government’s
attempts to discount them as hallucinations and air
force testing was working. Had the truth been known
it would cause global panic. In fact Government officials
from all over the world were meeting in Roswell, New
Mexico with aliens who had landed on Earth.
The
planet they hailed from was one that had not been
charted. It had been raped of all natural resources.
Evolution and inventions had brought about pollution
and radiation which left their planet uninhabitable.
Power struggles lead to the creation of nuclear weapons
of mass destruction leaving the air polluted and food
sources contaminated. Incurable diseases ran rampant,
leaving their population skeletal.
The
few healthy aliens that remained built space crafts
to enable them to leave. Their only alternative was
to remain and perish along with the millions who were
dead and dying. Each alien underwent a physical examination
to ensure they were free of illness and disease before
they were allowed to board. The remainder of the populace
was exterminated by weapons that were mercifully deployed
once there craft had attained a safe distance.
They
spent light years touring and investigating other
planets in hopes of finding a place where they could
exist. Their physical traits were incapable of adapting
to certain environments and there was not enough time
to develop environmentally friendly structures. They
found Earths atmosphere closest to their own.
Several
aliens stood and explained that they had been among
humans for the last two hundred years. With the help
of medicine their lungs were able to adapt and process
air.
“The
last few decades earth’s atmosphere has become
so polluted that it has been necessary for us to inject
ourselves weekly rather than monthly with a chemical
we have developed that allows our bodies to process
and eliminate the contaminates that are causing humans
many of the fatal physical maladies,” the alien
who introduced himself as Mork, said.
“We
could have easily taken control of your planet at
any time. When we sent our first teams here to investigate
this was our intention. However, we have no desire
to repeat the mistakes of our ancestors. As we studied
your habits, we discovered that humans are not very
different from our own race. The only advantage that
we have is the fact that we evolved several millenniums
before you. We have also become quite fond of some
of you,” The next alien Treak, said.
“We
enjoy the creature comforts that you have developed.
Our sustenance consisted of bland wafers processed
from our dead. We soon discovered that this aided
and accelerated the spread of disease and it was not
nearly as enjoyable as your fare, my personal favorites
being the Italian and Mexican cuisine. The third Alien
Meark, said.
“Not
to mention your methods of reproduction are much more
enjoyable than our incubation chambers. We can not
procreate successfully with each other as we have
delightfully been able to do with you humans,”
The assistant to the czar said.
The
officials were revolted by their physical appearance.
Fear struck in their hearts when they realized what
this meant, they had been here all this time. They
had been spending almost every day of their lives
working and entertaining officials who were aliens.
“This
is an atrocity and I for one do not plan to allow
you take over our world.” The prime minister
of Russia said as he stood and attempted to leave.
There were many comments made that supported his views.
When he got to the door he found that he could not
open it.
“Just
how do you presume to stop us, you can not even leave
this room unless we allow it. We are going to live
on this planet with you or without you, it’s
your decision?” The First lady, Rosalyn said.
The room fell quiet. The Russian returned to his seat.
The
President of the United States was aghast as he watched
his wife Rosalyn; whom he had been married to for
thirty six years, morph into alien form. He never
had a clue.
“We
have kids together. What of our children are they
your species or mine?” he asked.
The
look on his face told her that her natural appearance
was abhorrent to him, she would have to use her capabilities
to change his views, it would not be hard they had
been implementing there own thoughts and decisions
into the earthlings undeveloped minds since they had
arrived. She took his hand in her own, and lay the
other on the side of his face affectionately. “Unfortunately
your genetics are stronger, all four of our children
are human.” She did not tell him that by the
time they turned forty alien traits would start to
surface.
Several
politicians rose and proved that they were actually
alien impersonators. Each one held key positions making
them the primary decision makers of human governments.
The White House, Parliament, the Vatican, The Kremlin
every country had at least four aliens in power.
The
aliens all changed back into human form, they appeared
to be amused by the childlike tantrums these human
rulers displayed.
The
president of Cuba spoke as he walked around the room,
“We shared some of our technology with you,
some of our simpler creations such as the microwave
and lasers and satellites. Instead of utilizing these
things for good your scientist experimented, changed
and distorted these wonderful inventions until they
were weapons. Medicines we made available to you that
could have cured any medical malady including the
ebola virus, aides, cancer, flu, pneumonia, heart
attacks, lung and kidney disease have been greedily
horded by pharmaceutical and insurance companies for
their own agendas instead of using the medicines to
cure the poor and middle classes. Only the richest
of the rich were helped.”
The
Pope stood, “If you could all join hands and
close your eyes we will show you why you need our
knowledge to save the human race and this planet.”
They
hesitantly complied.
It
was if they were watching a movie. They saw black
and oriental slaves being taken from their villages
and placed on boats where many died of starvation
and disease. They were thrown into the sea while others
were sent to their deaths because they attempted to
fight for their freedom. Once at their destination
they showed the woman and men being sold and made
to work in fields under unspeakable conditions. Flashes
of gang fights, the holocaust and wars flashed through
their minds along with visions of women being raped
down through generations resulting in retarded, handicapped
children. Family members committing incestuous acts
on their children making their futures bleak, dismal
trauma filled existences. Prisons filled with young
men who would never be allowed to live up to their
full potential for crimes that were minor compared
to the governments atrocities.
They
cringed at the site of bombs dismembering and beheading
men who were too young to die in senseless wars. Abraham
Lincoln, The Kennedy’s, Martin Luther King,
and Malcolm X fell to the ground as they were shot
dead. Jews being taken from their homes to live in
camps where they were exterminated much like bugs.
They
shrank in their chairs as bombs fell in Hawaii, Japan
and Europe. They viewed train cars being left on the
tracks in ghettos, knowing full well that the abandoned
cars would be investigated by the people looking for
something to supplement their meager incomes. They
would find guns and automatic weapons resulting in
decades of genocide.
Livestock
injected with steroids to make them grow abnormally
large, the same steroids that remained in the food
after it was prepared for human consumption, causing
an influx of obesity and heart disease. Food stamps
were made available to the poorer races for the asking.
Within the communities, of government aided housing;
like section 8, they could contain these people in
desired areas. The government flooded these ghettos
and barrios with alcohol and drugs which further crippled
the minority races, this plan backfiring as it leaked
into their sheltered communities through their children,
who now sat in expensive rehabilitation centers getting
their lives back, while assistance for Medicaid was
cut to the bone due to cutbacks.
“Wars
threatening nation against nation would wipe clean
all planetary life. The nuclear, biological and chemical
weapons would not play favorites. Even the person
who detonates the bomb will be affected unless there
is a place to wait out the next two years while the
earth regenerates and cleanses itself as our planet
has been doing for the last year.” The Prince
of Iraq said.
“As
much as I enjoy some of the creature comforts that
you humans afford us, do not make the mistake of thinking
that our own existence will be secondary to sentiment,
we can always clone more of you, this will happen
with or without your assent,” The czars assistant
said.
Rosalyn
stood and said “We suggest that things go on
as they have been for now, we will give you one week
to deliberate. We propose the construction of a shelter
that would house approximately two million disease
free people who have occupations that will contribute
to the reconstruction of earth.” The aliens
took their leave while the humans stayed sitting in
silence trying to process what they had just experienced.
Knowing
that they had no choice when they met again they begun
working out the details. Rather than die they would
cohabitate.
