Same Species

He was taller than me, but back home I’m considered short, the most obvious difference between me and him was the fact that he was completely bald and had a long marking about an inch wide starting just above his nose and running as far back as I could see.

“We are of the same species,” he said “The first life that started on your planet didn’t begin on your planet. 1700 light years from the center of our galaxy lies an Asteroid belt, each asteroid hold the building blocks of life. Serindipidse events cause some astrioeds to change their orbits and some of them come in contact with planets that can sustain life, some find their way into the center of stars.”

I couldn’t quiet comprehend the siginicants of what the man was saying.

“We, as a species, have many brothers and sisters on many other worlds. We have evolved into the from you see me now over many, many years. Three million more than the life on your planet.”
