A study of the earth-creatures

Note: I don't think this is too good to be honest. I wrote most of it in half and hour and it's late because I thought today was Friday. Oh, I'm sorry about the ending, it's a bit athiesty. But i don't think Luke, Tom and whoever else reads this, I'm not sure who does by the way please tell me, are particularly religious. Try to enjoy :/

There is a tale told, of a distant planet, far beyond where our ships can reach. The beings there are far more advanced that you or me. They can move around of their own accord, they sense the world in five different ways; they can even communicate by flapping a part of them around the lower face. We must sit here a while; hovering in our chairs and thinking of their technology. They have a magical, flickering substance, hot to the touch, to keep them warm. They have amazing box-like devices, which allow them to communicate over long distances. Larger box-like devices carry them from place to place with alarming speed. As for entertainment, a medium sized box-like device brings them images, captured from all over their planet and through time itself. But the most important difference is the way they spend their lives.

In their lives, there are five major stages. They spend a few years being waited on “hand” and “foot”, they live with a luxury state of mind; no worries, no fear, only happiness and sadness, this stage is the first and begins from the moment they emerge screaming and kicking from their host’s womb. The next stage begins around four of their years into its life; they mature, learn to communicate and most importantly, begin to develop the other emotions. Stage number three begins at thirteen and is seen as a fairly important part of their lives; their bodies begin to work to their fullest potential and they start developing feelings about their peers. The next stage is not unlike our entire lives; they work for a living, have new beings of their own to look after and slowly begin to break down. The very last stage is just the years spent waiting to die, we should be thankful our deaths come so suddenly, it’s the one advantage we have over them.

Another thing to mention is the people on this planet who have a certain belief. These beliefs are all different and of course some don’t accept it at all but the ones who do believe, with all their hearts, that an invisible and much larger, version of them is looking over them and controlling their lives. The most popular version of this calls this being “god” and they worship him all over. They may be wrong but it is a strange thing for these creatures to be able to stare logic and common sense in the face for their entire lives and simply say “No. You are wrong and me and my unseen, unheard large being are very much on the right side of this.” Very strange indeed.
