We Are Not Alone, By Alexander Rousseau
We are not alone.

Alexander Rousseau.

A man with questionable driving skills.
He waits tables everyday from 9-5 only to hate it and come back to it.

He was tall, moderately good looking with slicked back brown hair and brown eyes. He was lean and frail and looked like a shadow at times.

13th September 2017

They watch from afar. The other ones. Not necessarily those who are superior but the one who came before.

They watch from afar.

It was just another day at the restaurant.
50 covers all of then filled with rich snotty brats blowing up the money their parents worked so hard for.

Alex moved from table to table handling everyone's requests, whims and fancies, hoping that someone would be a loose tipper.

It was a hard day.

He said he wanted to speak with the beings. But no one was listening. They couldn't toss him aside because everyone was afraid of giving the beings a bad impression on case of them deciding weather or not to take them away.

One of the 5 moved forward and sat on the ground. He looked at Alex and said something in a language Alex didn't know. But he understood every word.

It was weird. His words were sharp and kept echoing in Alex's mind for a while. He had moved out of the way after the being had talked to him. But as he went away the man had placed his hand on Alex's leg And said the pain will die.

And it had. Alex felt a lot better. He was the first to make physical contact with them. His leg was healing. He could feel it. He didn't know the politics behind it but he felt that these beings were good. And the U.N was being a bunch of pricks for not agreeing with them.

Laura was shocked when she got the news.
She tried to talk to Alex but she was too shocked by the things he was saying.

In the evening, the board decided to speak with Alex about his actions.

They asked him A lot of questions and he gave a lot of answers. General things about his family. Address before the incidents. And his motive for the whole act and what the being had said to

This was the work of decades.

He approached the gates and the guards parted At the very sight of him. He could hear his name being said.

He entered the building and went to the top floor.
He saw Laura. Visibly older. Her beauty had faded. He saw her husband. His hair grayed.

What the hell happened here?

Laura hugged him. Jack shook his hand. They gave him food and water. Asked him to freshen up and come to the floor 5 boardroom.

An hour later he was in the boardroom.
Laura and jack along with some members of the board sat there waiting to talk to him.

They talked. Alex listened.
They told him he was gone for 13 years.
But the Blueprints he sent them had been vital. That He was hailed as a hero on earth.
And when he failed to return he was declared dead but was given a hero's send off. They told him about the spaceships and gadgets they were able to create from the few snaps he had sent.

They had averted the attack performed by the creature in the throne.

Many had died but that was a long time ago.
Earth was nearly back to normal now. Although it appeared like a futuristic movie being watched while tripping on acid.

They told him some scientific stuff. He didn't get

    There is a very thin line between the person who you were and the person that you are right now. As humans, we experience millions of events that can affect and change our perspective on aspects throughout the course of our lives. Similar to caterpillars, we cannot be innocent and childish forever. There is a time for everybody to transform into something beautiful, and everybody’s time is different. Change can be good or bad, but most importantly, change helps us grow and become the people we were meant to be. How are we supposed to mature and enjoy our lives if we cannot accept the differences that life presents? For many people, metamorphosing is difficult because sometimes it can be a challenge to let go of something that was always a part of ourselves, such as letting go of a teddy bear, or a blanket, but for other people, it can be almost instantaneous.…

    Cattle cars. Burning bodies. Auschwitz. These words are engraved in the mind of every Jewish person on Earth. After decades, Holocaust survivors still have nightmares about these thoughts. One word, one indescribable word, will forever stay with these people. Holocaust. Many people of the Jewish faith realize the power of that word, but many others still need to learn. A man is sitting peacefully in his home; he has no worries, even when Nazi soldiers dragged him into the horrendous ghettos. He also willfully went into cattle cars, and then finally into Auschwitz. This is where that man realized that his life became horrible. Throughout the months in the work camp, throughout all of the suffering, his will to survive surpassed the will to kill of Nazi soldiers. Years later, people know that events like the Holocaust will, and are happening right now, such as the Bosnian Genocide 1992. Education also will get rid of the desire for power in human beings. Educating students about the Holocaust, and other genocides, will help prevent genocides in future generations. Man has the will to survive and surpass evil like the Holocaust survivors, genocides like this will happen again, and education will help prevent genocides in the future.…

    Since its first publication in 1944 in French, the play Huis Clos by Jean-Paul Sartre has been translated into numerous languages around the world. The English translations have seen many different titles, including In Camera, No Way Out, and Dead End. The most common and accepted of all the title translation, however, is No Exit. The translation is derived from the literal meanings of the title words in French: “huis” means “door” and “clos” means “closed”. Thus, taken one step further, since the term “closed door” is associated with a sealed-off entrance, the translation became No Exit. However, every language has words and phrases that are exceptions to the rules, idiomatic expressions that only a native French-speaker would be aware of - and “huis clos” is one such phrase. So exactly how accurate is this English translation of “huis clos” from its original French? And what kind of an effect does the plays true title have on the story?…

    I think what she’s saying in these lines is that society can provide a solitude of space, that in the sea of humanity, you can find the fact you can get lost in the crowd. to be alone amongst the many. Then there is the solitude of death, which is a removal from society entirely and the perpetual solitude of the grave...but such a state may lack awareness. So she says that all these types of solitude, when compared with that profounder site, "That polar privacy", which is "A soul admitted to itself" -- you'll find a different kind of solitude...one that possesses "Finite infinity." The key here is a "soul admitted to itself"...…

    1. “ The shadows beside me awoke as from a long sleep. They fled, silently, in all directions.” (Wiesel pg 12)- Personification. Wiesel uses this deep personification with a hint of symbolism to give the effect that shadows can wake up just as living organisms do. Yet a shadow is non-living and cannot truly wake up. At the time of Wiesel’s choice of personification, his whole family has just heard news that they are to leave their home in the morning. He is told by his father to wake up the neighbors, but instead shadows are the only things that wake. This somewhat hints at the profound deeper meaning of where they are actually going to be taken and how that might affect them.…
