Have you Ever Heard of Humans?

If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

Well… Mr. Alien, I think you’ve just landed on the wrong planet.

But… i just wonder whether you have ever heard of human beings in the first place?

This is a very critical question, and I assume you seem in the blue about what we are. I mean, we human beings.

And poor you, you’ve landed in the most crucial moment in the entire history of human civilisation.

Have you any idea what civilisation is?

Don’t look that confused. We humans are good at using big words in broad, vague ways.

Now, back to my first question, and please, you have to answer it with absolute honesty and sincerity. 

WordPress has assigned me this critical task, and they also granted me full permission to ask you any question; technically one question.

Oh, poor you, I’ve already asked more than one.

So let’s go back to the first question.

Do you remember it?

Don’t look that confused again.

I’ve warned you, you’ve landed on the wrong planet.

Have you heard of Mars or Jupiter or Neptune? 

I can guarantee you’d enjoy a wonderful vacation there.

I assume you’re planning a short break?

Is Mercury your home?

Why that confused look again?

Oh my, I’m asking too many questions again.

So here it is, my question clear and simple:

Have you ever heard of humans?

No reply, just that confused look.

Well, apparently you’ve never heard of humans.  

So… simply, humans are a unique version of aliens living on a different planet, one that has reached its full capacity for what you can call… many categories of aliens. And you know what? Our human alien categories have been multiplying like weeds all over the globe. Some of them will even try to make a human out of you.

Now, if you were, by any chance, trying to squeeze in, you would be disappointed.

And don’t worry, I will let WordPress know that you were confused, shocked, and, I will add, scared too, just for some dramatic effect.

And since it seems to me that you fathom nothing of this interview, I will respect and protect your privacy rights, and won’t take any pictures of you.

Anyway, I wish you a safe return to your home.

And now, it’s time to edit your interview for publishing.

With alien-and-human thoughts,

Nahla

P.s. As a memorable souvenir, I offered my alien interviewee a sunset photo of our beautiful Earth .
