Phone Home 😞
Thursday 16th October, Day/Story #147
It's a terrible thing, to be homesick. There's no cure, either. I should know. I checked.
It turns out, the more light-years away you are, and the longer it's been, the worse the bouts can get.
I tried putting down roots on this planet, I really did. It hasn't helped.
They don't like me, here. That makes it worse. I tried blinking more often, making fancy cars, buying one of their biggest social media platforms, and doing a cameo on The Big Bang Theory. Nothing helped. I still hate it here. They still hate me.
I just want to go home.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

I like your take on this. His whiney self and how he tried to fit in.
Loved it, LC, and yes, the challenge was inspired by your story.
The things bipeds do to fit in. Tsk-tsk! Now I wanna go home too!
Almost makes me feel s- nope, still don’t. But great job!
I can't believe I feel sad for him hahahaha. Loved this!
I didn’t think that I could feel bad for Elon Musk, but you made me feel bad for alien Elon. Well done.
