It’s December 12th of 2012. For some reason, they think this is the day. That guy from the internet, Phillip UFO, as he likes to be called, convinced a considerable large number of people that this specific date is the day we would appear in the sky with our spaceships and take the “chosen ones” home.

We never have made any contact with this Phillip. With anyone on Earth actually. Your scientists are trying really hard at SETI, but we are still in silence yet. And here I will explain the reason why.

On this day, Phillip gathered a large number of people at the city overlook. Among these people were George and Vanessa. We watched them closely. We like George. He is a very rational man. Despite the fact he likes such a weak-minded girl.

Vanessa brings George almost against his will to the place. At the moment he saw all those people together with signs of “Take us home”, Alien T-Shirts, and eating junk food he said, “So it’s here, the freak convention?”.

“Come on, George… You need to be more open-minded”. “Please Vanessa, this is all bullshit!” “Look, you are always bragging about being a skeptic, don’t you? A skeptic is not someone that questions EVERYTHING? So, have you ever questioned the status quo presented by science and media? Don’t you believe that there is something bigger behind it all?”.

This is Vanessa just starting her conspiracy theories that make George get sick. She is lucky he likes her so much, otherwise, she would have not a single normal person as a friend. Well, judging by the nearby population, maybe George is the different one here.

Vanessa started with his favorite topic, “The pyramids! There are pyramids everywhere! How the ancient people could create at the same time such advanced technology?”. George doesn’t like Vanessa's conspiracy theories, but he thinks she gets cute when she makes mistakes so simple as this one.

“Vanessa, first it’s not an advanced technology. This is the easiest way to build – A large base that gets thinner and thinner… You don’t even need columns to sustain the building.” It’s funny how her face paralyzes while he explains the obvious facts she never thought about. He continues, “The ancient people from all around the world have similar technology, like pyramids, boats, spears, arrows and bows, because these things are simple.”

“Yeah, I know”, she doesn’t, “but what about all mythologies talking about gods from the sky?!”. Now she put her hands on her hips and leans her body pretty confidently.

“It’s symbolic. The sky is above us all, so the gods of whatever mythology should be in some place like the sky – above us all.” George was starting to lose his patience.

Suddenly, Phillip started to talk on a megaphone. ”Attention please… May I have your attention? Good! The time has come my friends! Look at the sky!”

They all start to look at the sky and each one of them swore they saw something. Some light, some shadow, some figure in the clouds… They were all with stupid faces looking at the sky and cheering each other for seeing whatever.

When Vanessa looked to her side, George was not there anymore. “George! George! Oh my God, George! My friend has been abducted!”. People around got in a mix of excitement and worry. Someone with some sense (surprisingly) advises her to call him to check if he is not actually over there in some place.

“Hello George? Where are you” “Hello…nessa, I…fast” “What? Are you ok? Where are you?” “...tunnel…friends…need help!...see you…”

And the call went down. Phillip explains that George was abducted. He said when it happens the person is drawn very fast by a light tunnel. He also said the bad reception is due to the alien metal cover of the spaceship and that he is probably seeing them through some monitor on the spaceship because “They are always watching”.

But this is what really happened – George could not take part in the delirium they were in imagining things in the sky. So he decided to go back to his car and drive back home.

When he was entering a tunnel on the main road, his phone rang, it was Vanessa. He answered the call, because, even being pissed off, Vanessa was still his friend. However, he had a bad cell phone reception inside the tunnel.

“...George? Where…you” “Hello Vanessa, I’m driving, I need to talk fast.” “What? …ok? Where…you?” “I’m in the tunnel right now. Look, your friends are crazy, they need help! See you tomorrow, bye.”

And this is why we are still not sure if we should really appear to the Earth people. Maybe when we had more Georges than Phillips we may consider it.

This is a flash fiction I wrote some time ago. I intent to post more fiction, maybe a series, here on Stacker News. Something with bitcoin as theme. What do you think?
