What if...you meet an alien? Thought provoking question, right?
Hi everyone. I’m DK Davis, author of Secret: In Wolf Lake, a YA sci-fi, fantasy adventure starring
Samantha Parks. Her experience brings to light my own thoughts of ‘aliens walk
among us’…and what if I met one? LOL Seriously, though, I did think about this,
a lot when I was younger…and honestly, I’m not sure all of those thoughts have
left the building. *grins*
I had an imaginative childhood. Yea, I had a few
good friends, and three sisters that kept me fairly busy (me being the oldest
and the responsible one), but I also had a wild imagination. Besides the inner
search of my “soul belief,” (I was pretty young when I realized there was more
to me than a mere physical body) I also believed that there has to be more than
humans in all the galaxies of the universe.
Didn’t you back then? How about now?
Science Fiction fed me for most of my life, so did
the Sci-fi shows and movies…and then fantasy and the paranormal…and
supernatural. I loved / love all of it. Like an addiction or craving, I can
never get enough.
Imagination is at the core of creative story ideas…like
the “what if”—I meet an alien?
How would it appear? Like a human, like a scary
entity covered with wart-like oozing growths or tentacles that look like rat tails,
or how about like a supernatural being…as in vampire, werewolf, any kind of
shifter? Eyes glow, face blaze red, veins are dark blue when angered…and what
would anger it?
My alien would appear human, at least for part of
the time, because it would have the ability to “glamor” itself (change its
appearance to look like anything or anyone). It would also have empathy for the
human race and all the beings that share our planet. (It is my imagination at work here, after all)
*grins*
It would want to right all the wrongs we as humans
are doing to our planet. Most likely it would be some kind of advocate for all
the right things to do for our planet to make it healthy. Naturally it would
come from another galaxy and know exactly the steps required for Earth and all
its beings.
We (the alien and I) would be drawn together by
instinct – it would have the ability to read my mind…and perhaps I would share
that same ability. Together, we’d right the wrongs. (I love being the hero – or
at least one of the heroes; )
But, of course, we’d have to get past the naysayers
– those afraid of the “unknown.” And, how will we do that?
And if we don’t get past those negative,
close-minded beings, there’d be certain apocalyptic events, so a good dollop of
building tension…will we succeed?
Well, just great, now we’re talking end of the world
because of people fearing my alien friend. There definitely will NOT be a total
annihilation of our Earth. Those darn naysayers will have to take a backseat
and roll their windows up. I won’t hear any more of it. Geesh!
It is my story after all (another reminder)…about my alien and me.
Have you ever thought about aliens living among us?
Come on…be honest, you’ve never thought about it?
Tell me something. Use that wild imagination of
yours. It’s fun to play, you can call it brainstorming if that makes you feel
better.
So, what would the alien you meet look like? And
would he/she have any superpowers? Curious minds want to know; )
DK Davis writes YA sci-fi, supernatural, and fantasy with a good
dollop of all the relationships woven in between. When she’s not writing,
editing, or reading, she’s hiking, RV’ing, fishing, spending time with
grandchildren or her favorite muse (her husband) in Southwest Michigan.
