STORYTELLING – THE GLOWING STICK

Genres: Sci-fi

“Estimated contact: 14 days 7 hours 3 minutes 41 seconds”

The timer is ticking..

I am now with Steven Tan at Singapore Space and Technology Association building, the project manager for intelligent life outside Earth. He was showing me the different departments before he came to a stop on the 32th floor, The Space Exploration Research Sector.

To my surprise, a shocking similar glowing stick which was found a few years back in the field and eventually was retrieved back by the aliens.

I immediately questioned Steven why was the stick here and how did they manage to find it?

Steven then took a deep breath and answered:

"Few years back, the US air forces shot down an extraterrestrial spacecraft. When we arrived at the ground scene, we found no life form around, but we found this glowing stick."

"This was also found during the same day where you hand us the analyzed paper."

I was stunned. Why did they do that?

Steven then brought me to a restricted highly secured panel room build out with thick titanium metal.

I see crashed spacecraft. The exact one I have seen before.

I question Steven again:

"Are they coming back for us to seek revenge?"

He did not reply me but I could tell from his face that it is possible.

Suddenly I could hear a loud emergency warning was activated coming from outside the titanium metal room.

We rush out to see what is going on.

Our hearts sank.

The biggest projected screen is now displayed:

"Estimated contact: 0 days 14 hours 1 minutes 25 seconds"

A young female staff came over and inform Steven that the craft travelled through a wormhole and is now reaching Earth is less than 24 hours.

I look at her card tag. Jessica, the project assistant and the project explorer.

Steven looked and me, and announced:

"Gosh! We do not have time anymore! Let's get to work now!"

I have so many questions in mind.

Why did the US air forces shoot down the spacecraft? If they really arrived at Earth, what will they do? And what should we do?

I'm so confused!

Steven gets me to follow him in a meeting room with a few other staff including Jessica.

"We want to know what really happen on that day. Could you tell us in every detail specifically?" asked Steven.

"We need to know how did the glowing stick come, why did they come, and why did they pass you the letter?"

Everyone was starring at me for an answer.

I started to think really hard...

And i explained to them every detail that I can remember.
