Once again I find myself being part of Weekend Engagement concept, and this time I have chosen this question to answer.
Alien introductions
You are confronted by an alien being sent to Earth to gain information to take back to his planet. He asks you to explain three things as follows.
What is your purpose to life?
Why should the aliens not eliminate all humans from existence?
Should the aliens share their technology with us and why?
That night I felt strange as if I sensed something was going to happen. We were chatting most of the night with Katy for the umpteenth time she was arguing with her boyfriend, it's always the same with them, I guess they have a toxic relationship as psychologists say.
I had to contain her frustration and inevitably afterwards she asked me to drop her off at her house, I couldn't refuse as her eyes looked at me begging for sorority.
I went to get my coat and took out my car keys that I always keep in my right pocket.
Once we left I drove down the main road, it was a route I already knew by heart, which at night looked even more dreary and endless. It was on the outskirts of city, near a forest where there were several rich people's farms.
Kathy's parents belonged to a family with a good income, so they gave everything to their daughter, even if she behaved like a spoiled child.
When we arrived at their house, there was Paul sitting on the sidewalk dressed only in his pants and a tank top that showed off his pronounced pecs worked at the gym Katy paid him for.
My friend gets out of the car to run to meet him, they were both crying and apologizing to each other swearing it would never happen again. I just smiled as I witnessed their short-lived promises.
I said goodbye to both of them to go straight home, my tiredness was already sapping all my energy.
I drove several kilometers along the same road I had entered the farms and when I reached a crossroads I took a side road, I don't know how but I got lost. I stopped on the side of the road to find out where the hell I was.
Shivering with cold and of course also with fear, why not say it, I saw myself on the road with no one around me.
When suddenly out of nowhere appeared bright lights that hit me directly with their splendor, for a moment I thought it was a vehicle that could help me. But those lights were coming from the sky, I still don't understand how I had the courage to get out of the car and see that sinister spectacle.
There above me was a flying object that zigzagged with different intensities of lights, then a gray being appeared next to the car. I could not believe that something like this was happening to me, but the creature began to try to communicate with me through telepathy.
It explained that it would not hurt me, it just wanted to ask me some questions, I felt fear take over my whole body, even though I knew I had to do what it asked me to do.
He began with a kind of interrogation in a language I did not know, but strangely understood. Moreover, it seemed that according to my answers, humanity would be saved from imminent death.
What is your purpose in life?
I have always wished I could make others feel better, trying to help them see beyond the obvious and find happiness in the simple things in life.
I feel satisfaction when I see a child help a bug that has fallen in the water or an adult understand that life is more than just the money he or she wants so badly to get, forgetting the most important thing, the intrinsic values we all should possess.
Why shouldn't aliens eliminate all humans from existence?
Simply because as long as there are people who dedicate their lives to ending evil, there is hope. They cannot extinguish that force that fights with no other interest than the welfare of one species, which will have repercussions for a multitude of other species.
It is not fair that good people die for the failures of others.
Should aliens share their technology with you and why?
Of course not. We must first let spirit rule individual ambitions before we can choose the power of the advanced technology they possess. Only then will it be used for the welfare of Earth.
He then watches me for a long time and tells me that my answers were not what he expected. I immediately began to visualize the fantasies that came to my mind with humanity destroyed.
The gray being moves away in an ethereal way, I tried to speak but the words did not come out of my mouth, I wanted to say so many things but it was useless, the body did not respond to my order.
This happened two years ago and from that moment until now every day I hope that my answers have given a glimpse of hope or the imminent destruction of civilization...
A fictional story but with the answers I would actually give if I met an extraterrestrial. Like the protagonist of this story, I would remain in suspense for the rest of my life after this encounter, waiting to see if my words had the desired effect on a race superior to ours.
Sorry for the extensive :)
Wow 🤪🤪 You are really creative and a great writer. I was so lost in my imagination while reading through this masterpiece.
I'm glad you liked it, the main thing for a writer is that someone reads it and of course likes his writing ☺️.
