STORY STARTER

Submitted by Katelyn Jane

A life force from another planet has just translated the first piece of human writing. Write a story about what they discovered.

The strange discovery

Buttons flashed and shone inside the huge metal spaceship. An endless array of planets and the remains of spaceships floated through the infinite galaxies of space, all outside the window of the grand metal explorer.

Bleebo, the great Alien general sat down in his throne and relaxed. “Bloopo! Here now!” Bloopo, the alien scientist, plodded over, wearing a white lab coat that covered most of his slender green frame. “Yes, great bleebo?” The scientist replied, antennae drooping down over his face. “What is it you desire?”

“Look at this. I have made a strange discoverery.” A huge screen turned on and bleebo flicked to a picture of a small white piece of paper.

“Do you reckon you could translate it, bloopo?”

“Possibly. It looks like a challenging language to decipher, but I’ll try.”

“Good. Go ahead.”

They both stared at the screen that presented some paper with some weird squiggles on it.

“ I think it is,” bloopo began “ a list of various food items. I shall list them.”

“Hmmm” pondered bleebo “enlighten me scientist!”

“It seems,” bloopo continued, “ that the list is comprised of unknown foods, such as carrots, potatoes, and cucumbers, what odd words!”

“Computer! Bleebo demanded. “Show me a photo of these objects.

The screen flicked to an image of a slender orange vegetable. The two aliens gasped in utter shock.

“What on the planet Googlio is that stupid orange cone! It looks as if it were poisonous!” Bleebo exclaimed, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

The screen flicked to a picture of an ugly beige clump.

“Goodness me! What a dirty hideous lump!”

The screen flicked to a picture of a tall green thing.

“How does anyone eat this long green deformity? What species is it that eats this?”

“Humans, sir.”

“Such savage, stupid barbarians. In fact, they ar so undeveloped that they still use paper to write! No wonder we found their planet first. How could they possibly consume these things! Bloopo, make sure we never go to this planet of uncivilised apes. EVER.”

“Yes sir bleebo.”

Bloopo’s slimy fingers tapped on the screen. It said: EARTH, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

“Let’s set back to planet googlio. I have an empire to tend to.” Declared bleebo. The Gargantuan metal space ship turned and blasted off into the endless universe, leaving behind a trail of lasers.
