Friday, September 5 - Aliens in Egypt


 
 
                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.”

  1. 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!
