Our Odds

I'm Odd

   You think your human life is hard? You think its so hard and dreadful? Well, shut up, because it's nothing compared to my stupid harsh life..

   I'm an alien. Yeah, odd right? No, I'm not from Canada or like Brazil. Not that alien. Alien, as in antennae and spacecrafts. I'm talking, Mars and Galaxies and Space Wars. That's the aliens I'm talking about.

   Before you think about it I AM NOT GREEN. I am pale white. Yes, I also glow. I do have antennae on the sides of my head and yes, I only have one head. I have a body shaped like an oval and four normal human limbs....that are glowing white and no nails.

   I'm from the galaxy Atanic and from the planet Eeron. In English I'm an alien but we call it Xerox from where I am from. Many Xeroxs live in Eeron which is as big as mars. We live on eating rocks and drinking melted metal. The only way of living is to destroy. All we do is conquer planets and build war supplies. It's pretty fun.

   I walked through the tunnel to my dad's room. He's the general of the military. Yeah, whoopie. At the end of the musty tunnel was a wall. I placed my hand on it and it dissolved quickly.

   Inside was a white plain room with nothing in it but my father. The wall I dissolved quickly rebuilt itself back. He looked exactly like me...but like bigger. That's how our species are; same thing but in different sizes.

   "Hello Makani, my daughter. You are twenty-two seconds late to our meeting. I hear you're doing well as a space craft engineer." My father's scruffy voice made me cringe. His breathe was like moldy cheese and grunge.

   "Yes father. My team has readied the spacecrafts for battle." I say in a formal manner. My father is all kinds of formal. One slang word or nonchalant voice and I'm done for. He wuld send me to get my six hearts ripped out. One sign of disrespect and my brain would he sold as a slushie.

   "Great, you're recruited to go with Takamani to go to the galaxy called 'Milky Way' and follow the path to 'Earth'. You and Takamani will spy on the species there so we can invade." He said strictly.

   I was shocked. "But sir! I'm an engineer not a field spy! I'm not ready! I wasn't trained yet! And with Takamani?! He hates me! We're rivals! At least let me go alone!" I insisted not to go. I tried to act offended by Takamani going with me but I was a little happy with that. We are old childhood friends. I was not okay with going into the field though. I could get killed because I have no spy skills.

   "HAZAK! You shall go and that is final. We are low on field spies. You will spy on them for a year and you won't come back without information.

   I held in my anger afraid of my father's anger. I took in a deep breath, "Yes sir." I ran out the room so I could get away. Right as I dissolved the door with my hand, two huge guards were there. My escape was a failure. The guards were already there to take me to the ship. "What really?! I'm going now?!" I groaned.

   A Xerox smaller than the guards came from behind them. It was Takamani. He was taller leaner and somehow, even though we're all white, he was somehow tanner than me. "Makani...I heard you were my partner on this mission" He glared at me with his pitch black eyes.

   "Takamani. I heard as well." I stared back at him with my crystal purple eyes. "Ready?"

   We shot at each other. He grabbed my foot and flipped me over. My back hit the floor with huge force. "Agh!" I recovered quickly and sweep kicked him to the ground. He fell to the floor but quickly put me in a head lock. I was beat.

   "I win." he simply said. He let me go.

   "Ugh. I never win these." I say. This was one of me and Takamani's games we made up. We both would battle each other every time we saw each other to see who would win. I only one once. "I'll get you next time."
