Humalien

The new species...

Humalien            By Sami Khalil

A new species of humans with alien genes…

Moonbeams rushed through her window like tidal surges. As she began to settle down for the night, after a roiling day at work, swilling few beverages, she let the music swell and sway. Music, in soft forms, make her spirit flush with joy.

Every day, her nursing job took a toll on her psyche with great vexation. Although having a jovial personality, she had to endure some brooding pressures. At times, there was a vacuum of logic to life in general. She wished there was a healing salve allotted to it all. Maybe catching love’s bug can fulfill her secret needs.

As she drifted in the infusion and profusion of thoughts, her shuttered window slung open abruptly. Desert wind came rushing in. Suddenly, her cheeks became rubescent. She felt the baptism of fear washing over. She rushed to see the situation with fraught anticipations. 

A closer look outside, she saw unfamiliar sights. Something flickered as long, slender and viridescent figures alighted a rounded disk while the sounds of owls hooted in the distance. It was exotic indeed. She gasped then grasped the dire unknowns of the soft murmurings coming her way. With no immediacy of action, no way of storming off, she froze as if herself was plucked out. Beams of laser lights shrouded her. Her house became an alien space, floating in new dimensions.

With pirated software stolen from the God’s, they unlocked the gene pool. They digitally remastered the genome. Injecting her with the new formula, they bridged the gap between human and alien, a retort to humiliation by those deities. The original man must become the latter-day man, a mélange, a scientific parody; the ultimate “Humalien” with eclectic abilities. No more profligacy, no more a wasteland with mortuaries abounding.

As they departed, they promised her to come back when “Kingdoms of Utopia” prevail. With rhapsodies of praise, she recited verses from the Humalien Holly Book left behind. And with temerity, hypnotizing wolves’ eyes, groaning aches, she embarked on a new mission.

Man must pay his indemnification. It is control and seizure time.

'Tis perhaps time for a new species; we have had our chances have we not.

I love that you believe the “Kingdoms of Utopia," will prevail, goodness knows, we need them.

Beccy.

[Sami Khalil]

All possible Miss Beccy. Eventually good will prevail over evil and Heaven will be the abode of the righteous while Hell for the damned. Rebirth and renewal are a must with focus on God and His will. Million thanks yous as the stars in the sky. Be blessed.

[Sami Khalil]

[andrew mitchell]

Yes the failings of man.in this new world of technology we are becoming more like robots with the I am not a robot scenario to clear our insensitivities.In a way we are becoming less human, often at my work I introduce myself as my name is Andrew and i am from planet earth, where are you from because they are just lacking compassion, forgiveness, team spirit etc. anyway nice work Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! Words of wisdom you have shared with us sir Andrew. Very nicely worded. Glad you like my story about those humans. Thank you for sharing and visiting.

[Pryde Foltz]

Being human ain't easy. I wonder if it is any better on other planets.

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! Yes sir. Thank you so much wordman for this wonderful review and kind visit. Genetic engineering is headed that way. Artificial intelligence is another good but scary science.

everyone makes mistakes and there's always room for improvement. sometimes i think they're already among us. we can differ so much, one from another but as they say, that is the spice of life. we never really know someone, do we? when the wheels come off we see true colors. very thought provoking in an extraterrestrial way. i sure hope my ship comes soon the way this world is going. i often feel like one. good stuff to chew on ... :)

[Sami Khalil]

I wholeheartedly agree with you dear poet and I do hope so too. Your analysis is spot on. You have uncovered deeper meanings in this message. Thank you so much.

[barleygirl]

Your story seems to imply that humans have screwed things up & now the universe is trying something a little different to alter our nasty course of evolution. There's an elevated "holier-than-thou" tone to your pronouncements, as if humans are silly little creatures that must be managed. These are the subtle things that really make your story impactful & unique. Near the start of P3, "shuddered" maybe s/b "shuttered"!?!? I love how you play with word sounds while also picking complex, interesting words: infusion/profusion . . . which adds a poetic quality to your prose. This feels like a Halloween piece, which is right down my currently creepy alley! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

PS . . . Since this is a woman in your story, it seems odd how you use "man" instead of "human" in many of your pronouncements . . .

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! A wild take on Noah and his story with God mad at humans and their course using modern science and aliens instead of a flood. My imaginings can be wild and odd. I'm glad you like the Halloween vibe in it as I admire your creativity. Thank you so much dear poet for all.

[Sami Khalil]

It is shuttered indeed. Will fix when I get home. As for man, i mean mankind which stands for Male and Female as you know in the English language
