Talking to a Sea-Monkey (5 ratings) by Doug Yurchey
Page 2 of 4 "Yes." I touched myself to see if I was all here. "I feel..amazing.
Wonderful!" I leaped off of the table and I scared them with this action. They
backed away. I smiled and calmed down. As my feet hit the hard floor, I
realized that I was twice their size. "No, I wouldn"t hurt you. Where am I?
What is this place?" The blue boy appeared to communicate: THIS IS WHERE WE
ATTEND SCHOOL. SCIENCE ACADEMY. The blue girl finished his thought: .OF
PHILOSOPHIC THOUGHT. "Huh," I exhaled with fascination. "Oh, my name"s Dave,
David." DAVEDAVID? "Just David," I laughed. I AM SHILL6135452 I AM
BU2215464 "And..I mean, what is this world? They looked at each other.
She suggested: WE CAN SHOW YOU OUTSIDE. "Please do." I attempted to search
for an exit. It seemed as if it would take forever to leave the superstructure.
I was puzzled. Was a jet-car going to pick us up? NO JET-CARS. I have to
watch my thoughts, I thought. THIS WAY. She slightly waved her blue hand and
boom..we were outside! Reality changed like switching hologram programs on Star
Trek"s holodeck. We were now on what appeared to be a golden, mountain peak.
There was a cool wind that was exhilarating. The surrounding shapes were all
geometric as if I was a speck on a huge cluster of pyrite crystals. "My
God." I was getting dizzy because of the view. I looked down. We were miles
high and I had a slight sense of vertigo. The spinning stopped. Then, I was
aware of great peace. I felt the light all around us. Something emanated
through the air; it was nice. I smiled and said: "That"s from your sun?" NO.
WE HAVE NO SUN. ONLY THE RAYS. THIS WORLD IS NOTHING LIKE YOUR
UNIVERSE. "I see..I think." THE RAYS ARE OUR SOURCE OF ENERGY. THROUGH
THE CRYSTALS. THIS IS HOW WE ARE NOURISHED, they both seemed to
communicate. "So, you don"t.eat? What am I saying? How could you?" Then, a
thought struck me: "There"s no food for me?" SHILL asked: ARE YOU
HUNGRY? "No." YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ENERGIZED. "Really? And this is
because?" THE RAYS. THEY GO ON FOREVER. Again, I took in the incredible
view; such color; such majesty. These children were gods. They didn"t even
respond to that adjective. They just did their thing in this new world of such
beauty. What a freakin" view from up here. There was a tear leaking from my
right eye. I wiped it away. This was too much for me. George Lucas couldn"t
imagine something like this. GEORGE WHO? "Oh, you don"t know"m?," I asked
quickly. The blue kids shook their large heads in a sincere NO as I smiled.
They didn"t get the joke. "What do you know of my world?" The boy called
BU stated proudly: IN YOUR GALAXY, THERE EXISTS, CURRENTLY, 719233245
INTELLIGENT CIVILIZATIONS ON 10 LEVELS OR DIMENSIONS. VERY SOON, THERE WILL BE
ONE MORE. LIFE IS GROWING." I was in awe. I hated to stop this cold computer
of a child, but I interrupted with: "No, no.I mean Earth, my planet; my people.
What do you know of humans, you know?" SHILL and BU were blank. They didn"t
know of Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, Russians, Europeans and the
other Earthlings. "If I asked you big questions like what"s going to happen
in the 21st Century?." WE WOULD NOT KNOW. SHILL admitted, WITH OUR
VIEWSCOPES, THE CLOSEST WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE IS PLANETS FROM A DISTANCE. WE CAN
SCAN FOR LIVING ORGANISMS, BUT.TO PREDICT SOCIAL EVENTS WITHIN YOUR.VILLAGES?.
