“The arrival!”

“On an April night, like a bird of fire in the heavens, they have come in. And our greatest fear is that they look like us.
In a field, away from the great men, a form never seen terrifies just to be there. Fear our approach? Can you defend yourself from us?
Although many say yes, their arrival was not announced, at least not at all. Most of us thought we were alone. Human pride has always been sustained in their sacred books to put them as special in front of everything, even the universe.
We are afraid!
The big question is whether they would be hostile or benevolent. How did you cope with technological adolescence without self-destruction and here they came? Did they come to know about us? Was it premeditated? Were they watching us before we could know? Or was it all a surprise of an intergalactic cruise? Did they hear us, did they hear our signs? Our traces in space? Are they some of the many who will arrive? Are they unique? Are there others? Do they visit?
We have fear and fascination!
Misanthropes celebrate the arrival, clerics are hard to admit the obvious, governments, with gentleness and care, admit their inefficiency in front of visitors.
We have fear and doubt!
Did you experience evolution? Or were they created? Are we distant cousins? Do we have a common ancestor? Or do not they even have DNA? Is there a god? Concepts of Good and Evil? Do you help yourself when needed? Does your morale look like ours? Will they look upon us as superior to the other forms of life on Earth?
We know how something like this can end … we have done this before during our contact with societies that we consider inferior. What do they look like, what do they want? Did you come to free the others from us? The longest days of mankind are gone. The uncertainties have never been so diabolical.
But in one morning, still and silent they rise …
We did not see their forms, their biology was not revealed to us, they did not tell us to “lead us to their leader,” they did not fire guns, nor did they smile. They acted with one of the feelings that could most infuriate humans: indifference and silence. They were as silent as they came. If one day they will come back … we do not know. But … endless questions and endless possibilities lie in this arrival.
They can come back and our biggest fear is that they look like us. ”

“Invasion and Resumption”

“They came out of the shadows of the earth, the air and the waters, they did not come from the outside, they were here before us, but we deceived them, imprisoned them, tested them and devoured them as if they were a macabre property. it was the possession of the place, we never asked ourselves if they should be free or if they had a soul.One day they decided not to talk to us anymore, a pact of silence so old that times made us forget their voices.When the others arrived, we were standing between them and the visitors, who came together to exterminate us as if we were the pus that contaminates the fungus and which infects the mucosa.And then they returned to Earth. they drove us out, and they did not kill us, they left us here, but the rules, our arrogant rules, they died, everything was an invasion and a return. ”
