True Story, 1984, 136 degree off Lonely Planet, Wednesday


This story concerns a huge battleship and the little people who live in the battleship. Which happens to be, as it stated on the title, true. Where is the battleship heading to is a planet they called The Lonely Planet.

But more than anything else, what all the little people wanted is just a better breakfast. The Captain of all the little people, however will never understand. He will not understand the crew's longing for Pancakes and Maple Syrup, serve with Orange Juice, and perhaps even a half boiled egg. Thinking that the pancakes will be too much of a burden for the battleship to carry on to The Lonely Planet. And sadly, supplement capsules with zero nutrition is what the little people get. You should take pride in the things you do, says the Captain. You are learning at least. The little people would wonder when the Captain says things like that.

Some have jumped off from the battleship. Some have not. And some just couldn't make up their minds. Could this be a nightmare that all the little people are having it simultaneously? No, because I've just told you that this is a true story.
