The year was about 1325 BC set in Ancient Egypt. King
Tutankhamun, or better known as King Tut, was the ruler of Egypt. Not one of
the biggest and best, but still very important. The King’s daughters who were
born came out dead. Right now, the King isn’t exactly happy about that. The
young ruler had been quietly mourning the death of his kids when news arrived,
saying that foreigners had come to speak to him. “I do not wish to speak with
anyone at the moment,” he told them. “Leave me to be with my sadness. Whatever
it is, it can wait.”
Although
the messenger knew of the king’s sorrow, he insisted that he come at once. The
news must’ve been important if he was needed at a time like this. After much
coaxing, the king made his arrival on the scene. Large, brightly colored
machines were parked on the sand and two figures stood at the front of the
Egyptian crowd. “Is this your ruler, King Tutankhamun?” They inquired. The
king, now present in front of the two strangers, stared them up and down with
wide eyes.
“What
are these creatures? Why do you hide your faces? Why are you mocking our Gods?”
He asked them. The two figures, wearing
the animal masks, looked at each other.
“You
cannot see our faces or you will be forever blinded. We are Gods, do you not
see? We have come to take resources back for…” They foreigners trailed off.
“You
are here to take offerings?” King Tut exclaimed, kneeling down before them. The
rest of the crowd did the same. “So you are Gods! You descended to our home in
your devices, is that correct? You are here to take what is rightfully yours,
or are you here to help us build more-“ King Tut was cut off as a blinding
light exploded into the area. The light shined for a few minutes, and after a
few moments, it died down. Everyone looked around them. A few animals, pottery,
and even people had disappeared, as well as the Gods and their flying machines. King Tut rose and exclaimed, “The
Gods have spoken and taken their offerings!” The crowd began to cheer.
“And
that was when King Tut met aliens in disguise as Gods and stole things from
Earth to experiment on.” A little girl flicked off her flash light and smiled
matter of factly at her brother.
“No,
that didn’t happen! You’re making it up!” The brother of the girl yelled. “I’ve
never heard of that before. If it really happened then the teacher would have
taught us that.” The two kids bickered over the story while their mother came
to separate the two.
“Alright,
aliens or no aliens, it’s time for bed,” she smiled. “Come on you two.”
This was really good. I liked the reasons you gave for the aliens being there. I also liked the ending. The only thing I would do differently is elaborate on the aliens like what they were wearing, how big they were, etc. Overall, This was a very good story!
