Tonight Grandma
will be coming over and bringing some of her delicious food. (As
Grandma's around the world are famous for). Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
The Uortz
The many
species across the galaxies tried to reason or plead with the
conquering race Uortz. But the Uortz didn't bother learning another
species language until they were enslaved and their civilization in
shambles. Empathy never had a chance to build.
Humanity almost
shared the same fate. However an Uortz scout walking in his invisible
suit ran across something the other races didn't have that managed to
reach him without language. At least the words in language. On the
television in some mall a singing reality feature showed one of their
best contestants. Her voice engaged the Uortz scout's alien ears and
the mind behind them. He recorded the song with his scouting
equipment and went back to headquarters. He wanted to know the
language behind the song. The scout also wanted to show his fellow
beings the sounds of this planet's race.
The conquering
race soon learning off music and all forms of song and eventually
other facets of culture. They waged no war, and the idea went further
and further away from their mind as they learned more. When he
listened to various human concerts while human paintings hung on his
walls he felt very glad that his species bothered to stop and learn
about another kind.
