“For it is in
giving that we receive.”

I wonder what it
would look like if you turned a tesseract inside-out. Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
The First News Broadcast of
Intelligent Life
Breaking news
everyone! Intelligent life has been discovered! And you know we don't
joke during our broadcasts on QNN! 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 possible instruments and they also 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”.
