Welcome to Earth
Jumping in the deep end, what could possibly go wrong?
Oh crap what are you doing in my living room?
Can you even understand me?
Does your presence prophesy doom?
What should your first experience be?

This is called the internet, do you have something like it?
Now now, don't be scared. It's a wonderful place.
Except that part, it's shit.
Don't be too worried, take it at your own pace.

The sum total of human knowledge at your fingertips!
Why don't you tell me what you would prefer to learn.
Everything from first steps to backflips.
Nothing is beyond your reach, for what knowledge do you yearn?
-0-
It's all here, just have a look around.
Don't worry about time, I want to watch you explore.
Anything you'd like to know can easily be found.
Military secrets? Just wait a little more.

There you go, an other Warthunder leak.
New stealth fighter manuals, why do you want to know?
What? Yes, for us that's the mechanical peak.
Is it normal for your eyes to glow?

Wait... they're gone.
Oh dear, maybe I should have started with music.
I hope I live to see the dawn.
Damnit, I think I'm going to be sick.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

Jeez, man! And to think I only offered him a ride. And maybe said a couple of things... LOL great job.
This was hilarious, was he looking for the nuclear codes? The military strength we possess? WHAT DID HE WANT!! Great entry!
🤣🤣 oh damn. We are in trouble now!! This is probably exactly how it would go down though!! So funny 🤣🫣
Haha, what could possibly go wrong indeed?? Good job with this one, Alexander!
Brilliantly dry and funny AF 🤍 Loved this!
Hah! I love the narrative voice of this piece! “This is the internet, it’s great but that part is shit!” Haha you crack me up! I love that the thing you chose to show the aliens is the internet! You’re funny!
This was fun and funny 😁 I haven't finished my entry yet 😁
Haha, I enjoyed this. Nicely done. 💙Anneliese
Omg that ominous ending!!! Brilliant work Alex! I love this!
You giving aliens military secrets is hilarious. Now we are dead for sure. Yep. You better off him/her/it first. Funny story this one AM.
Lol, this was so fun to read! I loved it so much!
Ah, you gave away all our secrets through the internet! I wonder if their writing is as far advanced from ours as their spacecraft. What would alien literature look like? Well done response to a very odd challenge!
Ha, 😮🙃❤️👌📝😉Great job❗
