After all these three years, now this is my true story. The alien within has even asked me to write, reveal and release the following story.
"I am an alien. I am a legal alien. I am a legal alien on the web."
Yes. It is a true story. Believe me, it is true because the author of this story has been a true victim of it for more than three years. I have been the one who was once online. on the web, surfing and wandering about from this site to that site, this page to that page, looking for something invaluable, interesting and new, something good and sometimes even something bad. I was not myself, believe me! He or she was using me, asking and ordering me to go to these and those places on the net, to find him or her the needed information. After all these three years, now this is my true story. The alien within has even asked me to write, reveal and release the following story:
Hey you people of this planet, the so-called planet of Earth. Are you reading me? Are you listening to me? This is the alien within this Iranian author talking or better to say, writing this to you. As an alien and on behalf of all other aliens connected to the net via you and your own devices, first I would like to thank you all for our needed information about your planet you have provided us on the net. I have been there on the net reading all your free stuff, learning about the recent news, headlines and stories about your planet. Yes, I have been here to study all your online articles, reports, surveys and books in the matter of seconds, watching your online TV stations, browsing your various pages, pictures and images, your video clips, I have been there on the web via this very author of this article - true story - listening to your online radio stations, audio files and musical clips wherever on the net as possible. I have to thank you all.
At least, at that time, the author of this article couldn't realize we were using him. He thought he was just a simple net user the same as who you are. From time to time, suddenly, he found himself in the middle of some dialogues in chat rooms, participating normally in chats and even making friends out there with other net users. The fact was that we were the ones participating in chats and making friends with (each) other aliens who were also online via you human beings - medium ones. Other people's texts were there so fast read and received on his monitor's screen and I could follow all things happening on the net very fast and precise. I could easily follow and understand what others were talking or writing about at the same time in many other webpages, websites, newsgroups, forums and chat rooms. I could understand that many net users were all alone, somehow, in their own countries, in their own cities, towns, houses, offices, rooms or behind their desks, I could easily capture their images by only a moment concentration and see them without using any special devices such as webcams. Surprisingly, I noticed they were all alone just like this very author who I am using him as my medium to get connected and surf the net.
Then, I started to use his electronic mail program. I sent out a message to your offline and online world, there I wrote to you first : "Hey you human beings! Can you hear me? This is my first message to you all! Can you get me? Do you understand the language I use? This is my first message to the online world you live in, the cyberspace! Can you read this? Over!" Many of you - my audience - thought that my message was just another joke, or just another junk e-mail in their inbox folder, some thought my first message was just another virus or hoax. They simply deleted me. In my first message I wrote to you: "I have learned many things about you all human beings, all you people on this green and blue planet, I have learned your languages and the way you talk, the way you write, the way you work and live. Can you read this? Do you understand me? Is my English language clear to you?" Ah .. Yes ... I know. Now I can see you all understanding this true story now while you are reading this at this very moment, I have used a code within this document signaling me your emotions and the process of your understanding, it is so simple.
Anyway, I have to say, frankly, I took advantage of this very naive author to learn more about you and your planet. That was what I've done so far. I surfed your so-called big big Cyberspace just in the matter of seconds. And now I am writing this story by his hands - The Author - to let you know the fact that you are not alone! I am an alien within him, an alien who is using his brain, his hands, his eyes and ears, his keyboard and your web as well as these available Internet services you have provided us with recently, to let you know this very fact that you are not alone!.
First we had to learn about you and your planet via our direct space travel. That was so expensive and risky. Then we received the first reflections of your analog and then digital signals via your satellites in the orbit around your planet, it was your first broadcasted news feeds, from those first broadcasters and also your kinds of music on that MTV. I recall it very clear, I was a fan of that MTV when I was only 700 years of age and started to study your planet Earth. And then we were able to receive your web signals, we learned how to get (a dial up) connection to you - human beings - and use YOU as our own Internet Service Providers of the Earth. Believe me, that was really cool and interesting and still it is. Now we are able to choose receiving and learning about what we need or want. Your planet is so simple to us as far as we have learned. I hope you understand what I mean. You have to work really hard to find us, to learn about us, to contact us, and at present, we are the only ones who can contact you and use you to surf the net to find more about you.
I just wanted to let you, readers of this story, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Now Let's go back to the author!
Hey You AUTHOR! I am talking to you right now. Stop writing! Stop Writing! You Hear me? Stop it! Hey ... Hey ... We are close to our closing moment! Thank you for your concentration, your cooperation, your connection and the story. Now you can stop! Now I Believe, It Is Safe To Shut Down You.
