#18 - I Have Little to No Memory of These Memories

Part 8 - Memories are Malleable

[on that distant planet]

He got the message, he got the call - “I need to recollect a thing I can’t recall”

So Bralien was like “yeah, okay. I’ll have it up and ready later on today”

Between the pointed mountains high, a giant screen went up, embedded in the sky

He found the file and flipped a switch. A premium service for his leaders (and the rich)



Memories are valuable, but memories are malleable



At first the stream was quite adequate, but every now and then the memories seemed to split to “Some vermin humans? With shiny hats? A rocket boat, now what the hell is up with that?

Urgh, Bralien I don’t remember this. Explain yourself boy, lest your noggin meets my fist!”



“Uhh, well memories are fallible, and memories are malleable”

“Shut up, I hear them saying things..

These humans have planned an invasion! Alert the defence domes and stations!

I'll deal with you later!”

[Meanwhile back on our soil planet “Earth”, the humans prepare for lift-off in their hastily built, untested space craft made out of a rotting old sail boat]

“So guys, do we count down, or…”

“I don’t know..”

“But you're sure this’ll hold us? Like…”

“Let’s just go!”


[a conversation between the aliens and the humans, taking place in the form of a confusing exchange of memory recollections]

“Well, well! I see their every move, I see what they will do, and hear what they think”

“Wait, what? They see us storming the stars? I have a memory of their memory of us??”

“Thought thieves! Prepare for a mind dig! Prepare for a cranium prick! You picayune humans!”

“Look man, we're just as annoyed as you are! How did your brains blend in with ours? And now ours with yours?”





All stuck in a recall loop, awed and shocked

Stepping out from their boat-craft, they felt so….
