This piece is essentially a plea to space aliens. Get me out of here! You can put me in zoo if that is your wish. I don’t just want to get off the Earth I want to get out of the galaxy! It’s evident that several species of extraterrestrials have been experimenting on we Earthlings like ants in a colony to see how we react and frankly I’m not comfortable about how we have reacted.
It isn’t clear if some of you look like lizards or a praying mantis and I don’t care what you look like. I just want you to take me away from the rest of these humans. We live on a planet bathed in a delicate atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen and we have absolutely no control of our fate as living beings.
We overpopulate the planet when things are good and kill our brethren when things go bad. We are nasty organisms when food gets scarce and we march in parades waving flags to kindle hatred against flesh and blood that might take something away from us. But you already know that. What else do you need to know?
I don’t want to be like the others but some of you aliens gave us technology we’re not supposed to have yet. Can’t you aliens run an experiment without screwing it up? You gave us advanced electronics, transistors, fiber optics, lasers, integrated chips and computers- the results? We got dumber.
Hey, I’m no different than any other living thing. I like to keep myself in a comfort zone. So in the summer when it’s hot I install an air conditioner in my bedroom that’s twice the recommended size. I turn it up until there’s frost coming down the walls. Then I get under an electric blanket cranked up to eight and between ballgames I watch documentaries about starving polar bears. Do you see what you’ve done?
I’m no smarter than the rest of the human race. Hell, I took an IQ test once and they called an ambulance. But I’m clever enough to figure out what you bugs have been up to. Does that earn me a ride out of here? You see I have figured out where this is going and it’s not pretty.
I don’t care if you aliens slither. Crawl or fly. I just want you to take me with you.
