A Story by Abishai100

Earthling bookshop man narrates his view of claimed alien-contact/examination for Blue-Planet 'culture' interest for 'matrix' jitters.

Alien/existential media (my second in a series of book-shop owner philosophy-shorts featuring the same identical intro or prologue followed by variances in alien/invader inquiries of Earthling complexity). Happy Thanksgiving (and thanks for reading)!

I was working at a Western bookstore and thinking deeply about the languages of literacy for social media culture handshakes for pedestrian thoroughfare and hospitality-readings and cast myself as a sort of Earthling intelligence interpreter for my book-shop collections of human race reflection imagery for thought (Facebook-like!).

Maybe that's why I was contacted suddenly by an eerie Martian who went by the unusual name Zel and who insisted my work with book-shop languages for Earthling cleats drew the inquiring alien to my Earthling culture of Rationalism, profits, depression, energizer-IQ, network axes, and superstitions of tremors or troubles. Zel wanted to present inquisitive words of Earth race sovereignty defense-claims and offer unique views on the 'examination' of what made our Blue-Planet world both sensitized...and discrete.

ZEL: Happy to greet you here/now, Earth-man.
ME: What do you want with me, alien?
ZEL: I've hacked into your email-portal for your life's inquiry, man.

ME: What do you want with me, alien?
ZEL: I know your work with books/text intrigue if folk-IQ, man.

ME: What do you want with me, alien?
ZEL: Are you versed in the intrigue of text-access machinery?

ME: You refer to things like Wikipedia and microfiche, alien?
ZEL: Isn't your Earthling state one of info-access sharing, man?

ME: What do you want with me, alien?
ZEL: I want you to find some tech-toys culture axes for globalism.

ME: If I fail in this stranger email-inquiry challenge game, alien?

ZEL: I'll invade your dreams and exert mind-control powers, man!

ME: I'm to think this is email-hacker prank or some cyber-cult dare?

ZEL: Take the dare...for your interests in Earthling sci-fi capitalism (IQ).

ME: I'll take the challenge...I'll make some pluralism tech post for IQ.

ZEL: Capitalism's change (Facebook-like)...good luck, Earth-man (ha).

I took Zel's cyber-challenge (game?) seriously and made for a special cyber-post reaction of cited toys and IQ for capitalism mezzanines and talked (liberally) about access to consumerism and commercial lifestyle in modern Earth via resources of the Internet, claiming how aliens (Martians?) would find envy in our human world realm of incomplete-bureaucracy arts for the machinery of Blue-Planet denim (wow).

Zel never invaded my dreams or exerted claimed mind-control powers over me; and perhaps it's because my cyber-posts about tech-toys civilization culture for access-intuition for (shared) capitalism commentary was the right-stuff for fortune-readings of mankind's humble bureaucracy/traffic arts (ha). Maybe Zel simply wanted to dare an Earth-man to make some image/adjective for toylands-paranoia cleats for my Selfie-age (Facebook-like).
