Extraordinary People Of Earth
I Was Recruited.
It happened on a Sunday. Everyone thought it was just an ordinary Sunday. People were sleeping in. Others were attending church. Some were doing a crossword puzzle and drinking coffee. The usual Sunday stuff. No one knew it would be a historic moment for mankind. But this wasn’t an ordinary Sunday. It was the Sunday that space aliens came to Earth.
It was a story so big, they even preempted football. Every channel carried 24-hour coverage of the event.
Their spaceship was enormous. Easily a mile long. And it was square. Actually, a cube. No one saw it streak across the sky or land. It simply appeared. In Nebraska. On a farm. I guess if you are looking to land a giant cube where it will do the least amount of damage, Nebraska is the place.
Naturally, the governments of every nation freaked out, not knowing the giant cube’s intentions. They immediately began formulating a plan to destroy the cube. Just in case. Funny how enemies become friends when they are all equally scared.
A multi-national armed force created a perimeter around the cube. Outside of the perimeter were hundreds of news organizations. Beyond those were countless people who had never seen a giant alien cube. Traffic was pretty bad on Interstate 80.
