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.
Alien Martian Time in Outer Space
Little green alien from Mars says, "gleeby gloob barp nop nerper."
Little gray alien from Saturn, who has recently gotten a promotion and been relocated to Mars, quickly responds, "Bimble bink bink varnock?"
Wait let me turn on the translation device. I'm sorry, you missed some vital information there. Beep boop. Oh, the small green light is on now. Mhm, there we go. The machine is on; you can listen.
To the aliens-
"Wait, it really says that?!"—the little green alien gasps, placing her hands on her cheeks—"I would have never guessed they would speak about something so advanced and vulgar and interesting."
"Eye no," the little gray alien states (He is still working on his Martian grammar and spelling from what I can tell). "It his inter esting two say the least. Erm. Wet part dib you fined most inter esting, Ogop?
The little green alien flips through the web pages of the text they intercepted. "Here," she points. "I think it is odd they milk another animal right before that really interesting thing I'll read aloud in a second. Like, that is nawt your juice dawg; you can't take the cow's milk like that. Not cool from the cow's perspective. It's kinda freakish if you think about it. They must be—wait a second"
They see us. Quick, close your eyes. They're Martians; they cannot see us if we cannot see them. Okay. Are they closed? Yeah, close them. No, stop reading. Stop. You need to close your eyes.
"What his up Ogop, you Narvbomping ore some thing?"
Seriously. This is sensitive technology you are messing with. All you have to do is to stop reading. Just CLOSE your eyes already! YOU'RE COMPROMISING US!
"Shush Blik#107, and put down the Cookies and Comets ice cream milkshake, I think I see something. Or rather... someone..."
That's it, you're done. I turned of the feed. Yeah? How do you feel about that wise guy. The viewer who KEEPS on looking after I explicitly tell them to stop. Now there's no more fun silly aliens. It's gone.
You ruined it for all of us.
Now we'll never know what they were looking at. Gosh. I just wanted to know what they read.
