2844. An intergalactic yearning
© Bruce Goodman 14 September 2023


Johnny had one over-riding hope in life: to see extra-terrestrial aliens visit earth. Frequently he would scan the sky. He looked at the news in the hope of the arrival of aliens. He knew they would come one day. He was not a sceptic like those nerdy people. He was a creature of hope.

There was nothing about UFO/UAP sightings that Johnny didn’t know. He lived and breathed for that day when he we see such things with his own eyes. Would they look like us? Would they be bipedal? Would they have eyes, ears, and noses like us? Would they have two hearts? Would they have green skin like some have claimed? Johnny yearned to find out. And then one day…

… he died.
