I Heard The Owl Scream And The Crickets Cry.

I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.

Lady Macbeth: What about your hopes for the future? Are you afraid to be the same in your act as you are in your desire? Would you live as a coward like the cat who wanted the fish but was afraid to get its paws wet? Macbeth: I beg you, be quiet! I dare do all that may become a man.

His virtues plead like angels against his murder.

Honour, and grace, is dead.

SLEEPING EARTH

The year is 2142. A black triangle-shaped spacecraft entered the solar system at the speed of light. The passengers of the spaceship are a group of purple-eyed creatures. Their skin color is pale white. Their body is kind of round. They identify themselves as the Kaafs. Their residence is in the Sombrero Galaxy. From there 118 years ago, the Kaafs went out on a space journey in search of other creatures. They roamed the Andromeda and Triangulum Galaxy. They even went to the Capricornus constellation. The Kaafs met many different creatures there and befriended them. Now their last destination is the Milkyway Galaxy. They have learned from their new friends that there is a planet called Earth in a place called the solar system. There lives creatures known as humans. To see them, the Kaafs are currently hurtling towards Earth from the edge of the solar system. Within 16 hours, they passed the Sun, Mercury, Venus and came to earth. After landing the spaceship, the Kaafs came out to greet the humans. But what on earth! Every single human is sleeping! The Kaafs called a million times, but the humans did not wake up. They have fallen into a deep sleep and cannot be awakened. When the Kaafs almost returned feeling quite disappointed, they noticed that humans had written in pages or recorded by taking pictures and videos of their history. Rummaging through those the Kaafs learned that human beings were compassionate, kind, innovative, creative, artistic and curious. There existed between them love, laughter and beautiful emotions. But with the passage of time, conflict, terrorism, greed, selfishness, discrimination and hatred increased between them. And these brought about the downfall of humankind. They are now sleeping forever, and this is their punishment.  

The Kaafs departed from Earth. They went towards their home and started thinking, "We have seen so many strange creatures during our journey in space, but we have not found any creatures stranger than humans!" 

Away, and mock the time with the fairest show.
