Wordplay: The Reading Spot

[Extra post, theme-interval] If you think this lockdown hasn't been crazy enough, you're right. I had a zoom call with this alien yesterday and managed to ask it a few questions. I think you should read one particular answer it gave me....I asked it,  "What are a few things you've always wondered about us humans?" I managed to write down its answer....here's a summary: "I’m PRJ-11, a resident of Planet-C41 from the Stellar galaxy, and I’ve been studying all sorts of planets my entire life. One particular planet that has never seemed to leave my mind is planet Earth. It’s one of the few planets that allows and sustains life, and is part of the solar system sector.  It has water, it has a life-supporting atmosphere, and its beings are fairly intelligent, although there are a lot of things they do that leave me quite puzzled. For one, they have every possible resource required to live and survive, unlike most planets in this universe. However, one probe dr...

  A short story that could be our future, if we don't.... I t was a bright sunny morning, perfect for the kids to look at some remarkable antiques and old stuff owned by people in the early 20th century. They always found creatures like dogs, cats and others pretty fascinating, since they were nowhere to be seen nowadays.

I'll be keeping an eye on you, so don't go out of the hall."said Mom. Even though I'm 15, and way past to be told not to talk to strangers, here I was, being lectured. We were at this party-beeep-ya now I remember-beeep-sorry. So sorry about that. That happens to me a lot, mostly because my brother fiddles with my chip comartpentm ! BEEEEP-he did it again. Wait....ya he's gone. So, it was my uncle's wedding. I was just sitting in a corner as I didn't know anybody. I was waiting for the guy who brought the starters, as I was drained. I was about to run(across the hall), but I was too tired for that too. Luckily, I found something to drink.  Then, suddenly, the doors opened, and a pretty, fair, tall and what more-woman came through. She was wearing black nail polish, and high heels. Something about her was ...

[Theme Futuristic, Tween-range] Houston , America 3000 I was in the middle of this awesome dream, when I felt pure metallic solid tug onto my shoulder. "Wake up!! Clang! Bang! Wake up!! Clang! Bang!" "Stop it you stupid bot!! It's a Saturday!!!" Then, the old pest said something I feared. "You have to work out even on weekends, Armaan!!" "Oh, please have mercy on me! And, by the way, aren't you supposed to call me Sir !?" "Initializing!!" "What do you mean initializing ?? I've told you a thousand times, now!!" "No Armaan, you have stated this only 4,653,291 times to be exact!!" "Again ' Armaan ' !!" Then, I got out of bed, drowsily, yet angrily. I looked at my clock. It was still around 4:45.
