Donna Siepiela Ab-Ar-Da

Annotation

The same face was on everychannel. The same voice was on every radio station. They were the face andvoice of Ab-ar-da. And Ab-ar-da wasnt human.While the people of earth sat onthe edge of their seats, glued to their televisions and radios, wrapping theirbrains around the fact that aliens from another planet had come to earth,Ab-ar-da answered questions and told wonderfully tantalizing tales. He didnt come alone, either. There were thousands of them on earth and in the sky above. I wanted to show the people ofearth that we were not like what they were seeing in their movies from Hollywood. Rain explained. People from other planets are compassionate and loving people. We are not green monsters or invaders looking for slaves. We came to help and weknow how to help with many of the problems faced by people on earth.Would they?
