Galileo was put on trail and spent the last years of his life in prison for suggesting that the earth revolved around the sun. We think we have a pretty good idea of how the universe works now, but what if we don't? What if we're wrong? What if the earth revolved around an enormous glow worm? It just sits up in space, throwing around balls of fire, curled up and miraculously giving life to out planet and our plant only?
Ok, maybe that's a little crazy.
I'm certain we aren'y the only planet with living species. Aliens exist. I've seen them before.
What? I have!
They don't look like the tiny green or grey men Hollywood portrays them as. Nope. They look just like us. That's right- you can't tell the difference between them or me or you. They blend right in, casting their experiments here on earth while sending up vile looking space crafts in the air to distract the humans. That way we are always looking up for answers, and not ever questioning our friendly looking neighbors who look oh, so innocent while watering their flowers and lawn every morning.
I mean, seriously? Don't they know flowers and grass don't require that much hydration? They're drowning their lawns! I'm impressed they even have greenery left to look after anymore. Though, I suppose with technology as advanced as they have, they could keep anything alive if they wanted to.
There's this tool they have that they implant into humans brains that trigger electric impulses that help to keep their bodies alive while they float around aimlessly in sensory tanks. Ever wonder where all those kids from Amber Alerts disappear to? It's the Aliens-
What?
Why am I telling you all of this? You don't believe me?
Well, you should trust me, darling.
Why?
Because I'm one of those Aliens and you?
Oh, honey.
You're next.
