Alek Comes to
Earth
by Linda Taylor
Alek was a
real cool dude dressed in his Erik Decorah famous
mediumistic peach suit. Well, he had to blend in
to make his mission on Earth a success.
Camouflage was of the essence. The final touches
of gelling of the hair was done in front of his
image reflector unit. The outer lights of the
unit glowed as he reached perfection.
As Earth’s
atmosphere was reached, the vibratory force
emanating from Stonehenge guided Howler on
it’s last leg of the ten thousand light year
journey. Alek’s energy levels were high
– he had just consumed his energizer
supplement and was raring to go. Leaving standby
instructions on Howler’s intelligence centre,
Alek glided through the spacecraft portal and
into the unkown.
As Alek cast
his eyes over Stonehenge it brought back memories
of other similar structures seen on his journey
throughout the Universe. He could make this his
second home.
Alek was
exasperated. His communicator device was silent.
Where was agent Merlin? Suddenly, as is if from
no where, Merlin appeared. Black sleek and
purring. Cat eyes gazed solemnly over Alek.
Thought transference made Alek realise that his
intelligence had been matched by this silent
feline creature. Merlin pressed his transporter
device on his paw. Vibratory levels increased and
they were off on the final stretch to meet Erky
Baby.
Nano seconds
later they materialised in Erky Baby’s room.
It was a gold mine. Crystals abounded. An
atmosphere of pure calmness. Merlin informed Alek
that Erky Baby was out on a mission and would not
be back until Moon rise. With that Merlin
promptly disappeared, leaving Alek silently
staring into a mass of crystals.
As the Earth
time units expired it gave Alek the opportunity
to reflect on his mission objectives. To bring
the final proof of life outside Earth. Erky Baby
would show him the way. The tension rose as the
long wait for Erky Baby to enter the room came to
a climax – the door opened.
