ROSWELL'S FIRST FANZINE!
PAST TEASERS
by Joy Elizabeth Watson
I
just
want to feel safe in my own skin
I just
want to be happy again
I
just want to feel deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
--Dido, "Honestly,
OK"
"What
is Earth like?"
I
raised my head quickly at that question. He was staring at me intensely. I
wondered if it was something that he'd been thinking about for a long time.
"Why
do you want to know?" I asked.
He
shrugged. That was strange to me. Not then, in that moment, but when we first
arrived. They use the same body language as we do. They shrug, they nod, they
shake hands.
"Earth
is like . . ." I paused, trying to find the words to describe it.
"Earth is full of color. Everywhere you look, there’s color.
There’s green in the trees and in the grass. Bright green. And the
flowers are so alive."
He
nodded.
"Alive,"
I repeated. "That's what Earth is. Everything there is alive."
There
was a wistfulness in my voice. I heard it and he heard it, too.
"Do
you miss it?" he asked.
"Yes,"
I answered truthfully. I looked down at the ground. "That probably
sounds strange to you."
"No,"
he replied. "It was your home."
I smiled at that. It was my home. For so many years, I thought my home was a star far away from Earth. A planet that I couldn't find. But now that I'd found it, and now that I'd returned, home was the place that I'd been all along.
