My Own Space

I fell out with reading DC Comics' 'Superman' because the writers went/(have gone) too far with the whole concept of the Kryptonian living on Earth. Superman has been made too god-like and what can you do with a hero like that?

Anyway, I have been sketching ideas for my science fiction short story, The Boy who Could Fly which tells the story of an alien father called Kia, who has travelled back to our planet to see his 12 year old son Davie. The distraught alien father soon realised that he had to save Kia from humankind and their fear of the unknown.

Kia had to leave Earth before his son was born, vowing to his human lover Natalie that he would return as soon as the powers of the Universe allowed. Unfortunately Natalie died when Davie was six and after a few years in a care home, Kia was adopted by an unscrupulous middle - aged couple Mrs & Mr Winthorpe who claimed to be distant relatives of Natalie. This horrible couple discover that there was something different about Davie, in particular his ability to defy gravity. Thus the brutality and inhumanity of man to another being rears its ugly head once again. Kia is used as a pin cushion, blood taken etc, he is even subject to having his body cut open!

By the way folks, since I know that no one actually reads my blogs, I know that my idea is safe!

How does Kia save his son, travel through space and time to get to Earth and what is his & Davie's abilities? Well YOU will just have to read the genius of a story when I actually write the damn thing.

There no earthly reason why an alien being who lands on our planet cannot have superior physical and mental abilities. Like wise, less so.

I have always been fascinated by the stars and the universe. When I look up at the starry night sky after a few minutes it feels like there is no up and down. Our blue world is simply floating in space. It's so mind blowing to conceive the fact that we humans are just dust particles that inhabit this beautiful world that we are allowing to be abused by our rulers. To be honest, I really do not believe that man and his cruel disregard for, well anything that gets in his way, has much baring on what goes on with Earth. When it is ready our planet will shake us off like dandruff if we carry on the way we are doing. Also, if the Sun decides to grow even more potent, we humans will suffer.

It is so fascinating to think that it would take us thousands, maybe millions of years to reach another galaxy. What I see when I look up at Betelguise is how that massive Red Giant was over 500 years ago! King Henry 8th was busy chopping heads off at that time..ish.

How does my alien get to Earth and where is his planet? I haven't figured that one out yet.

LovePeace&Happiness
