The True Creation Story

Prologue

Author’s note: Well. This is my first work of fiction. I hope all goes well. This is the story of Earth. From the beginnings of life up until the present, or the future (I haven’t really decided). In my story life began because some aliens wanted to raise humans in a garden. The aliens in my story are called Girps. They have the same language as us because they brought there language to Earth. They also have the same names. Now, on to the story!

“’When choosing the site for your garden, make sure it is 7 fsuuls away from its star. Be sure its star is a yellow one. The planet you choose should also be experiencing volcanic activity,’” Julie read from Galactic Gardeners.

“Mommy, can we choose it now, please pleasepleaseplease?” Timmy begged his mother. She considered. Timmy gave her his best cute face. He drooped his tentacles and antennae. Then he opened all of his eyes very wide. For a final touch, he sniffled with all 203 nostrils. Timmy knew his mom would never be able to resist his well crafted cute face.

Julie paused, considering. She knew she couldn’t resist that face. More importantly, she knew he knew she couldn’t resist. She paused because she didn’t want her son to know how easily he could manipulate her. “Oh alright, I don’t see why not.”

“Yippy!” Timmy jumped in the air from excitement.

Julie thought, “That smile makes it worth it.” She unlocked the door of her Meteor, and Timmy climbed into the backseat. Their Meteor left an exhaust trail across space that can be seen for lightyears.

Julie and Timmy drove to Gardener’s Galaxy, the company that wrote Galactic Gardeners. Julie knew that Gardener’s Galaxy is the best place to buy gardening supplies.

“Hello, how can I help you?” a salesman asked.

“We would like to buy a garden site,” Julie answered

“Hmmm…” The salesman pulled out some maps of the universe, “What will you be raising?”

“Humans.”

“We have three planets left that can support Humans,” the salesman replied as he showed them a map. “Which do you want to buy?”

“Mommy, can we have that one?” Timmy asked, pointing to one.

“O.K,” Julie agreed. She purchased the planet. They climbed back into the Meteor. Julie drove to the Milky Way Galaxy so they could claim their planet. Timmy jumped out of the vehicle and placed the identification moon in orbit around their planet. Identification moons were an ingenious idea. They were used by Girps to stake out their claims of planets. All identification moons had the planet’s owner’s name/s engraved on its surface. Owners of planets with life forms placed the moon in orbit so that it had one side that always faced away from the planet. They carved their names on that side. Julie and Timmy’s moon had their names carved on it in messy letters; Timmy had carved them himself, on the dark side of course.

“Mommy, can we name our planet?” Timmy asked

“Alright, do you have a name in mind?” Julie replied

“Let’s call it Earth.”

Note at bottom: A fsuul is a unit of measurement used by Girps to measure distances in outer space. (The main characters are Girps)

Well I really hope you like my first chapter. Please review. I love anything you have to say. Criticisms are welcome too. Thanks for reading it.
