Was my heart sinking? Yes! How long my senses had been
numbed? I couldn’t recollect. The sky was totally clouded with not even a
shred of light anywhere except that bright flame at the rear side of that
spaceship, I could distinguish could recognize high up in the sky. I was sad,
I was broken or was I?
sTORY
I remember the day when I was told that no longer did we inherit the
earth. That we were all encapsulated in a spaceship kept in abeyance, outside
the peripheries of Milky Way. That our earth has been pulverized and taken
over by alien forms. That our race is extinct and the 50 of us are the last of
our species. I was in a trance. Though I couldn’t reminisce my past, it being
nebulous and smoky, I felt very sad. I didn’t know how long was here but
knew that not long ago had I resided the earth. We were told by a pre
recorded message on our spaceship by our forefathers that we were kept in a
dormant state till now to prevent detection by those alien forms. We saw a
video that showed how those alien forms crushed us on our own planet and
we had to flee our own homeland, how they destroyed our buildings and
killed us at will. While watching that video we were shocked because our
semblances matched those of the destroyers and it was our kind who were
destroying earth. Just on the verge of nervous breakdown, a soothing voice
message told us that we have been GENETICALLY MUTATED to those
alien forms in order to accomplish our mission on earth, our earth.
The 50 of us were given the onerous task of reclaiming our planet back
from those BASTARTDS. Was I scared? To death! Was I excited? As a new
born! So finally I solved the jig saw puzzle in my mind – We inherited until
some alien invasion occurred. The 50 of us, of course the most reliable and
important people in the world at that time, escaped for an infinite space
journey, remained in dormant state for years and years with STATIC SLEEP
in BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS to prevent ageing, though my life on earth
seemed as just yesterday. Now we are woken from slumber, all modified and
disguised, to act as valiant soldiers and reclaim our earth back. Our
supercomputers have already studied the alien forms weaknesses and have
already prepared a plan of action, critical strike areas and how to win our
pride and earth back from aliens. Later we will be modified back to our
original form and will start our new civilization.
ePILOGUE
The bombs are flaccid now, the earth shaken, the greenery disappearing,
brightness of the sun being engulfed by the opaque CO2 clouds. The
temperature increasing, O2 almost depleted, people suffocating, almost
dead. But did I accomplish MY mission?
The bright flame of the leading space ship is dead now. I am suffocating
on ground. I am seeing 10-15 bulky, slimy, greenish, disfigured, large
headed beings alighting the ship, not resembling our ancestors as we saw on
the video. The sky is now covered with 100’s of similar ships and the true
nature of mishaps dawns on me now.
