First Taste: Part IV
Friday Fix
…finally, there came a gasp and a sigh, followed by a cold, spine-tingling sensation…
Hello. I am an alien. I have abducted you.
Please don’t be alarmed.
I think it’s long past time I told you a little more about myself.
This is a pretty good place for a heart-to-heart, all things considered. I mean, who doesn’t love the beach? Just look at all that water! It’s beautiful, right? A perfect, pristine, cerulean lagoon…
Of course, like all the other stops on our tour, this place is also significant in the course of human history. But we’ll get to that.
Here, sit down next to me — and we’ll have a nice chat about my kind.
So.
As I’ve said who-knows-how-many times, I am an alien. But as extraterrestrials go, I’m a member of a rather... unique species. Yeah.
Of course, unique doesn’t mean rare. My species is actually quite populous, scattered across the universe. It’s safe to say there are a lot more of us than there are of you.
