Today's #flashfiction #TheFirstNewsBroadcastOfIntelligentLife

“I love you, you love me, we're a happy family!”
Atilla the Hun* #quote

        Jessica came over in the first time in awhile today. Much fun was had as we hadn't hung out at any place besides the card game thing for what seemed like eons. A class of hers that was crammed into half the semester(that also had a professor that assigned a disproportionate amount of work...according to Jessica, four hour video lectures. College can be real “fun” depending on who you get.) has now ended and suddenly her free time has increased greatly so we may be able to hang out more. She's still got more classes naturally, but fortunately her life will be easier and we'll have more time to hang. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The First News Broadcast Of Intelligent Life


       Breaking news everyone! Intelligent life has been discovered! And you know I don't joke during my broadcasts! The government was keeping it under wraps until contact was peacefully completed but despite their initial fears everything went over peacefully. Our government tells us that their culture is much more peaceful than ours and accepted us with open arms, even giving our ambassadors free food, board, and gifts. The aliens also gave us technology for free to help us with our environmental problems, giving us plenty of technology to make us more energy efficient. They even gave medical technology helping us cure many medical diseases we thought impossible.
       Their cultures are vast. They have music with thousands of instruments and they use technology to create music in ways we could have never imagined before. They are geniuses of the arts as well. They have mastered forms and styles we haven't ever thought of, challenging the very way we look at reality. Their fiction has genres we've never invented and weave tales that stimulate every emotion and create worlds unknown.
       And according to our government these aliens call themselves “humans”.
