FICTIONAL STORY:-

SAVE EARTH
Tanks approaching, thunder of bullets, smokes of gunfire all around, bodies of
innocent civilians lying all around the ground, welcome to postmodern world. I
used to think about this situation 50 to 60 years ago that these weapons of mass
destruction will be going to take these precious human lives. Now look at this,
Ahmed.
One day I stood in front of the mirror and asked myself that whether man is going
to conquer this air and these mighty oceans, the answer which just came through
my mind was you are just thinking nonsense. If a person will go into sky he will
not have feathers so he would ultimately fall down. And man has not be given
ability to inhale oxygen inside water so he would ultimately drown in massive
oceans. But I saw man invented the aero planes which made air slave of him. I saw
man making titanic and big huge liners which take him through big and mighty
oceans. These all innovations will not make man live in peace, he will try to snatch
the due rights of the other human beings of his kind and that will make this earth a
miserable place.
I was thinking this and suddenly a bullet came and took one life. Ahmed who was
just a courageous and bold friend of mine was lying there without any ability to
feel what is happening around him. I suddenly packed my luggage and I made a
solemn pledge in my mind that I shall find a new place for my family to live in
peace and I shall make sure that my family lives in peace.
I have been excellent child since my childhood. I had an ability to grasp things
very fast. I had an interest in the field of astronomy. And I used to love aliens and I
liked watching movies of astronomers and aliens. I used to study about the atomic
bombs and the destructions which they made in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And it
was told to us at that time that atomic war will take away our peace and will leave
us destructed.

After packing my luggage I took aero plane and left for NASA space station in
USA. They offered a program named SAVE EARTH. I put an application for
the program as I had a chance to show my mettle and to achieve my sole purpose
of my life. They accepted my application for the program and according to my
qualification standards I was asked to reach as early as possible for the program.
In NASA space station they gave me training of one month. In the end of one
month they had to send me to the Andromeda Galaxy.
Andromeda galaxy is the nearest galaxy to Milky Way. It was told to me in NASA
space station that they had found some signs of life at Andromeda galaxy. And they
were going to send me on that galaxy. I was very excited to go to over there. But I
was more excited because I was going to travel in space for the first time in my
life. Because of all these reasons I started praying that may this one month pass in
the blink of an eye and I imagined myself to be sitting in space craft and travelling
to space.
Days passed by, and on every coming day brought me excitement as well was fear.
Fear was of this thing that I shall be far away from my mother earth. And one
interesting thing about this travel was that it was just one sided. It was not
guaranteed that whether I shall be able to reach back safely or not. But one thing I
was told and that was on chance and that was, If I shall get some real life on
Andromeda then obviously they will have some space shuttles and they will refuel
my space craft and then I shall be able to reach back safely on earth.
After all, the day came and I mounted on space craft, and started my journey to the
Andromeda galaxy. I had my contact with NASA space station. Thousand
kilometers from planet our earth was really looking like the way it used to look in
books. After journey of three months I finally reached Andromeda galaxy. Big
noses, three ears, two legs, four arms, these were the aliens living on Andromeda
galaxy. They were very gentle and very kind and they were not very different from
human beings. They used to talk in English. I was very upset at first when almost
three person passed by me and ignored me but then a commander warm welcomed
me and told me to take me to their king over there of galaxy. He told that they have
heard a lot about my galaxy, Milky Way.
I was taken to their king. King was also very kind hearted. He did not know the
language but he had a translator. In the conversation he asked me the purpose of
my visit to his galaxy. The king paid his condolences on the lives of many innocent
people because of nuclear war on the earth. I asked him to help people living on

earth from out of the atomic war. He told me to help my planet full of his capacity.
He said, Their galaxy will send their powers to planet earth and will settle the war
within no time. I was very thankful on such a kind behavior from the people
whom I thought throughout my life to be aliens. They promised me to send an
army of hundred space crafts along with me.
After spending two weeks I left for my planet. It took again three months for our
fleet to reach back to earth. On the way back to earth, I also said to the commander
of army of Andromeda galaxy to stop on the planet Mars. We spent two days on
Mars also. After seeing the environment of Mars I realized that people of earth can
survive on Mars but it was of no use as I was going to take their lives out of
miseries. As soon as we reached earth people were very frightened that what kind
of people have just landed on the planet. But they asked NASA to organize an
online show on overall media of the world. On the show they announced that all
the countries which have these nuclear weapons should throw those weapons in the
sea in just one day otherwise that country will be destroyed. And in response all the
super powers of the world threw their weapons in the sea and an atomic war came
to an end.
I thanked the army which came with me from Andromeda galaxy. They also liked
the kindness which I showed to them. And after living for one week they left for
their galaxy. I was awarded Medal of Honor from America. I almost got honorable
degree from almost every big university of the world. But most of all I wanted was
just a hug of my parents. When I looked at my mother and she hugged me all the
worries I had in my mind just vanished away and I was the happiest person on the
earth.
