•+••=:....•* episode 6

Hell, what? are we a tourist attraction?

Some stranger bent down to have a look at us!

HELP! HELP! HELP ME! Arggggggggh! No, no, don't walk away! you B&B (bitches and bastards)!

Traum Island, just a dream away

•+••=:....•* episode 5

So back to the part where SOBE stopped caring!

It wasn’t even as though she couldn’t see us or ignored us. NO! She started PHOTOGRAPHING us, frequently – as we were stripped of our dignity, voice-box and pulsating signal. She recorded it all! ARGGGGGH! – if we could just stick it to her! But – deep breath – we do no harm, we come in peace, we go with the flow, we trust our universal destiny will be fulfilled.

Right now it looks grim but as I said before, we have faith.

•+••=:....•* episode 4

The first thing MX did was rip out our eyes. OUR EYES!

SOBE rescued us many times and then one day she just stopped. Stopped caring?  Too afraid to get involved? We don’t know - it could be that MX threatened her. MX bounces around and pretends it’s all fun and games but underneath it all....

Although RX never harmed us he stood by and DID NOTHING! Thanks, buddy. Oh, yes, you’re also under MX’s spell. We see, sorry, hear how she pretends to be weaker and meeker than you. HUH! She’s in control, my little fat friend.

What thought is crossing her mind? NO! NO! NO! DON’T!!!!

•+••=:....•* episode 2

“So when SOBE (name withheld to protect those who harbour aliens without their knowledge) goes off to work we, Samuel and I, transmit our signal to our planet- in a galaxy far, far, very far away. Transmit what? Never mind that! What is important is that we have stopped transmitting! Why? Because a little minx, MX - black thing, 4 legs, white toes, shrill voice - dragged us from our spaceship one afternoon. Okay, long story, first she dragged Samuel, then four days later me, Edward. So the long and the short of it is we both found ourselves OUT IN THE GARDEN.”

•+••=:....•* episode 1

“Hell, yes, we are aliens. Duh! And I see you looking at our spaceship and thinking ‘it’s nothing but a lime green, dotted bucket’. Oh really, well, listen here buddy, we traveled through time and space fearless, brave, and with faith. We didn’t decide to travel into space AFRAID, in a suit that we foolishly believe will protect us. Against what? And the oxygen thing, tis, tis. Afraid you can’t breathe? Well, I hope that when you see the wonders of space IT DOES take your breath away and make your heart skip a beat.
So, yes, Samuel (yes, we anglicised our name, like you did to those poor people in the bible) and I, Edward, traveled through space in a bucket and landed on EARTH. In a home in XYZ, where all is quiet and uneventful, the ideal place to carry out our work.
‘What work?’ OMG, listen to take tone, filled with superstition and angst! Yes, plotting the invasion of earth, mwahahahahahaha! Oh, grow up! What’s left anyway, the landfills?”

Story continues next Monday.
Honestly, I bought these soft toys at a sale at MrPriceHome, thinking they were so ugly, no-one else would take them. But let’s not burst their bubble.
