I thought that I should include some outside talent. This next work is by a friend of mine.
If you have a weird idea please comment and I might post it and give you a shout-out.
Last night, I wasn't sleeping and looked
outside my bedroom window and saw an alien planting mushrooms. These were
special mushrooms which glowed. My curiosity overwhelmed me and I quickly went
outside. The alien approached me and I had no idea how I should respond. The
alien greeted me saying, "Greetings, oh sleepless one! I was wondering
when you would come." I was taken aback by this seemingly polite greeting
and I managed to say, "Well, it isn't every night that I have seen a
visitor from a distant land planting glowing mushrooms."
"Ah, yes our race takes care of the
mushrooms in the galaxy, and the mushrooms send us signals about what happens
here on earth."
"But I have dissected mushrooms and we
eat mushrooms all the time."
Well, I will explain more to you later on
about the importance of mushrooms to the universe, but here are instructions
for you to meet another one like yourself who grows vegetables, but also has
been instructed on how to train cows to resist gravity."
"I have been taught that gravity is a
constant."
"Oh, yes gravity is a constant to those
who sleep." Now I could understand that, because there have been times
when my lack of sleep has caused me to feel light headed…maybe I was
levitating…Anyway I nodded my head since apparently I had much to
"learn." asked the alien how otherworldy the instructions were and
the alien replied, "They are directions using roads and your what do you
call them? Oh, that's right a car. Here are the mushroom spores to give to this
farmer.
"I must be
going," said the alien, "You should visit the farmer as soon as your
time allows." And the alien just disappeared. I walked back inside and
went to bed not expecting to sleep, but to think. In the morning, I arose and
thought over the events of the previous night. I spent time trying to figure
out how much was my own imaginings and how much was real. Well, I had the
mushroom spores and directions to the farm. Those aliens know how to prey upon
my curiosity. Isn't there a saying that curiosity killed the cat? Anyway, I set
off in my car and the directions were detailed and led me there. My only
complaint was the traffic leaving town. The farm was located near the coast
which has an excellent climate for growing mushrooms, and was surround by
hills. This protected it from any passing cars. It felt really strange to be
visiting a complete stranger's house/place of business for no other reason than
dropping off mushroom spores that some creature from another solar system or
galaxy gave me the night before. I guess I could give the farmer the excuse
that I must have been hallucinating. As these thoughts were going through my
head, I parked my car and got out. I didn't see anyone at first, but then the
clouds parted and the sun shone. I noticed something shiny. Knowing that
conspiracy theorists like tin foil hats, I had a funny idea enter my head and I
decided to follow
