The 2nd Ark

It had been a long night for Samson, and the tears hadn’t stopped flowing for hours. Still wrapped in his plaid pajamas, he had been scooped up by the large blue alien hands and carried away from his screaming parents. He thrashed at the thick bodied being with every insult he knew, including the ever classic, “snot sucking kumquat!” as he was carried aboard the massive starship that seemed to have crushed a few houses in its landing.

Samson was locked in a small cage in a room on the ship. On his right, was a cage that held, to samson’s surprise, a polar bear, and on his right, a cage holding a lion. As he looked around the room in amazment, he saw more cages, all of different sives. A squirel, a zebra, a platypus, an elephant, and many others.

His scanning eyes found a small port hole on the white walls, through which he saw Earth from a thousand miles away. Soon the window was no more than a drop of black ink as his new unkown home sailed away into space.
