Little Little Men

      The message said that we have got all the radio waves that you sent and that our technology is way out dated. They said they lived in one of the galaxies on Orion’s belt.
      We did some research over the next few days and figured out where the galaxy was and how far it was away. It turns out it was between to black holes. We figured out that we could use these black holes to our advantage. We could travel into one black hole and it would warp us to the other. The only problem with this idea is that we would have slim chances to escape the wrath of the second black hole. We decided to build a special rocket that used x-rays for power, since this is the only thing that can get away from the power of the black hole. This idea was pretty crazy but we really did think it would work. If it didn’t work then it would be bad for the other astronauts and me.
      Our date was set for April 17, 2057. It was the year 2056. We had all of our planning done and the day finally came. Once we were in space it would take us 20 years to get close enough to the black hole that we would be sucked in by it. We kept contact with the people at earth through out the entire trip. As the days went on the astronauts and I got more and more nervous that our lives would come to and end. The time was getting shorter and shorter.
      It was time. The ship has already started into the black holes. We no longer have contact any more with the astronauts because radio waves cannot escape the black hole.
      It happens so fast. We warped and we didn’t even no it. We used our X ray boosters to get out of the black hole. We had entered the galaxy. There were probably 50 planets. They were about 1000km apart. We traveled around for five months searching for anything. There wasn’t life on any of these planets. We were starting to get worried when we finally found life. This wasn’t any ordinary life. These creatures were about two feet tall and they were green. They had eyes on the top of their head. They were so short because of how dense the atmosphere was. The eyes on their heads were so they could see a little higher because they were so short. They had long fangs that stuck six inches out of their mouth. They were very scary looking when I first saw then I didn’t no what to think.
      The things had learned our language through listening to all of our radio waves. They spoke to us and told us that we better leave or they were going to terminate us. We said that we had to stay for a while because we had to wait for our rocket to re boost. They told us that we had to leave before that or it would be the end of the human race and us.
       That was it I guess we were going to die because their is no way that we could get everything ready before we left. We called back to earth and told them. They were shocked. Immediately earthlings started making bombs and shelter.
      We got in their ship and went to earth. We had to watch them kill the humans. They went in and killed them like they were nothing. The whole planet had been taken over by midgets. They were really strong and smart midgets but midgets. After words they killed the astronauts and myself. It was a quick death. Or what I though was a quick death. They took a big bite out of my neck and I was out for a second. This was the end of human kind. I wasn’t really mad about it because I had turned into an alien. I am writing this story for the proof of humans. Considering that they are extinct now.
      The aliens and I stayed at earth for about one hundred years. That wasn’t considered very long for us because our life span was about six hundred human years. This was equal to fifty alien years. We are heading home now. We are watching the final sunset from earth.
