Taking this golden chance again to let my fantasy wander. So, this episode's prompt calls us to showcase our reactions were we to find an alien spacecraft in our backyard, and what we'd do with it, yeah?
I wonder, would it look like the ones I've seen in movies? Cause if that's the case, and being a diehard fan of spaceships, well, the world would pay me the world to have it.
I am a child when it comes to discoveries. Or more like a curious tom. I can imagine myself doing some weeding in my backyard, only to discover that beneath the ground, lies a spaceship that was abandoned thousands of years ago, and with time and growth, it got buried beneath the earth.
My first reaction would be surprise. Like how in the world is that metal doing there? Because I know, the first thing I'd see, would just be metal. This surprise would trigger my curiosity. More than ever, I'd be determined to discover whatever I just bumped into would turn out to be.
I would work frantically like a dog digging for a bone all the while letting my fantasy run wild, like the very dog wagging its tail. I can feel the awe taking over, after coming face to face with the spaceship. I can visualize I'd be living in a fenced community, as I would not rush to tell people of my discovery, yet.
Like I said, I'm a curious soul at heart. I'd embark on a tour, a free tour with no entry fees😅, inside my giant bubble of discovery. I can see my face light up, as I give myself a tour around only to dicover that although, the outsides looks old and dirty, the insides are very new and intact. They make them to last an eternity, right? 'cause my mind is running wild with the optimism that it might be functional when I discover it.
If that were the case, and with the help of AI, I'd try and figure out how it works, and if it doesn't threaten to fly off in the cause of figuring it out, then scientists and astronauts will have to forgive me, because, just like a dog to a bone, I'd hold on to it before I am convinced to give it up.
It'd take me a while, too, before I let people in on my discovery. I don't want them ruining my curious little heart by calling the government on my property to claim that which is not theirs to start with. People are enemies of happiness. I might tell and just when I'm enjoying my discovery - curiosity time, the government comes knocking at my door. Fear people!
If it turns out to be functional and in good condition, I'd make it my new home; a space I could visit every now and then to escape reality into the world of fantasy. But if I were to really give it up, I would choose the museum. That would be a lifetime investment, compared to a one-time investment that would come from selling it to the astronauts.
Otherwise, until the world is ready, or until I am, which I doubt I'd ever be, I would keep my spaceship a secret, buried in wonder, and guarded by my curious little heart.
Thank you for reading❤️!
