So, no, sir, madam or whatever you are, I’m not going to apologise for throwing my dried poop at your child!
The alien invasion of Earth lasted for a fraction of a second. There was no resistance, no heroic struggle against the odds. The technological gulf between our species was too immense to be bridged by mere gung-ho or derring-do. Earth’s biosphere was broken down into its constituent atoms in a process too fast to measure. They saved a dozen of us aboard their ship, the last members of humanity, to live out our lives caged in an alien zoo.

Great story Bill. Your usual dry wit with a chilling message. You're right. We can't even get out of our playpen that is the solar system. We wouldn't stand a chance against a force so technologically advanced as to fly across the universe.

As you story shows, it is human nature to survive and rebel against all that is repugnant to us...nicely done, Bill.

I love that you showed what we do to animals as if we have the right. How would we feel, taken and caged? Thanks for this, Bill!

Sounds like those that were captured reverted back to their primitive beginnings. Perhaps the aliens might be better served if they'd taken our antecedents for their zoo. Comments are closed.
