Literature Text

The sun sets when the sky is at its darkest, and the moon risen behind you. The stars break through the darkness in sparks, but even then, only when they're far from our star. As you can see, our species see in 3D, with a little more animation than you were used to - as a human.  But similarly, we're just as social, and in our society, just one person can turn out to be a handful *giggles*. Look around though, they're all smiles in front of you. Treat others the way you would like to be treated, and they'll imitate you.

Look at to our sky! It's our ocean, so wide and so high. From up there we're the sunken treasure mate, deep within, what your planet calls, Bernard 68. Look around, into the distance. Our planet has nothing but mountains, but of all different shapes and sizes and colors, upon which we live and express all different types of desires. From the youngest til mature, we are sexless, and rest assured. It is our choice to become either or. Ptah, remember that day we met back on earth, how I took on the shape of a man and a woman, I was determining.

Our natures were so different. Even my name is a sound that a human can't make. But somethings are the same. It takes an imagination, to see ones imagination. And that's why I never lost hope in us. But it's better that you're here, it's easy for you to imagine. Even my people are glad that we are so happy!
-----
Ptah's imagination stores everything he's seeing, and remembers, even life on earth. From the warmth of the sun upon those advanced life forms of dirt, to the refreshment of water upon the earth. The mountains of this planet is only but a quarter of what the earth has to offer. But life here is different. We live like lower life forms apart from human assistance.

I see myself differently, not just physically, I look past my charcoal body and its shades of grey, a body so soft like play doh, my big head, long arms and legs, and my short body, I look deep within my dark green eyes, and it's not that I am out of my mind, it's just that my mind is no part of earths world. Whether they make time or just take it, they spend it on everybody else. I never understood that and maybe I never will.

Look, my imagination showed me the entire universe. It made me think, "Am I lost or am I free?" Empty space made me think of everything I could ever be. I had dreams and big hopes, but those bullies on earth, if they didn't give me any space, then worse, they took away my oxygen. Then I begun to think, "If I really wasn't worth anything, maybe they wouldn't bother me!"        

So yeah, I left. As soon as I saw that I was too good for them. The wind was strong enough to lift me but too thin for them to grab on.  So I left for another planet with an extraterrestrial who has chosen to be my dear inamorata.
-----
I take you, to be mine.
To teach, to treat you,
as fine as is I,
in your eyes.
Before your kind and
upon your mountain,  
I take your hand in
my blanket like hands.
In front of the sunset
within the darkness,
while beneath your suns
halo of stars, upon this
mountain I propose marriage.
Will you be my inamorata?
-----
In all that is pure, consistent and true,
so as I did, I do - take you, to be mine.
To teach, to treat you,
as fine as is I, in your eyes. Yes  I do.  
--------
They went away after their wedding. They're on their honeymoon, that is further than the eye can see.
-------
Ptah, when a baby is born, IT's asleep, IT will not move or acknowledge us, until IT awakes. And I don't know how long IT'll take.

I say, hey, however long IT takes.
----
Yes (IT) is their baby and they named IT - Mikky! Be IT male or female, with the image of a man or a woman, for her and Ptah thinks IT may have some characteristics of a ... human.

dreamingofparadise1.deviantart… Shaun this is amazing! !!! I think it's better than the first. The language is poetic but easy to follow. And the marriage proposal was beautiful, and kind of sexy...I have no idea why, probably because it was so romantic. The ending, It having characteristics of a human! ! Genius. Cuz they both have alien bodies now so u would never think of that. But also so possible because ptahs original being was human.  I loved it

My sister in law emailed this to me about this story, I loved her comment so I wanted all y'all to see.

dreamingofparadise1.deviantart… both thought it be good for me to write another part to my first The Shapeshifter
Beneath the sand, South-West of Cairo, Egypt, giant walls were discovered by marooned explores. Riveting carvings decorated the walls, they were carved for modern souls perusal. They connected the walls with a modern ceiling and they rebuilt its halls in Cairo.
Then they, turned its compartments into another museum.  
Chatting students from an American high school came to Egypt, believed to be looking for, love and gold, though no treasure was more precious than the education their country had to offer. They spent the day sweating, only seeing the things that other tourist have seen.
After the Pyramids, they were exhausted and wearisome. The sun had set and the moon had rose in its glossy silver. On their way to their apartment they came across those giant walls found in that distant desert. Through the door they saw a tour-guide laying his hands upon its carvings.
"Excuse me sir, what is this place?" asked their history teacher, from Italy.
"A place that hasn't been here for 2,00

I love how it has progressed and the idea of them having a child! How will it turn out? What qualities of each parent will it have?
