DEPARTURE

We are leaving.
The Planet belongs to the natives.
I have advised the Humans to leave;
a proposition they have accepted.
We are a wise and loving people.
We will not fight for the Planet.
It is even enjoyable to give the natives a beautiful new home
where they will not be ill and famished.
And as our spaceships take us towards our new life,
all eyes look into the same direction.
A giant sphere of fire has emerged,
and as the flames slowly go out, a white light spreads all over it.
I have already begun the work.
For the first time I realize that I have not misused my power.
I have not even been tempted to exploit it for myself.


Epilogue

The dream then flickered as I awoke, scattering into pieces…
reality returned in the blink on an eye --
bringing with it the strange feeling that I have just taken a test...
