A Stranger in New York

It was late at night in Times Square and I was just walking around and I heard a whisper.

“What are you doing here?”

It was kind of odd, I was not waiting for anyone, but for some reason this person thought I was someone to meet.

“Yes.”   “Thank you for coming.”

Now it was getting interesting, who on Earth could the person be. So part of me said just quickly find a way to just go on my way, another part of me said this could be interesting.

“Yes.  Did you forget why you came?  It was to meet me.  Come with me quickly.”

Without thinking, I followed him…..but as I saw him walk…..he walked right into one of the buildings….a door had just appeared, I went through the door with him.  But what was going on…..who was this person……more who was I?

“We must prepare.   There is not much time. They will be here soon. They will be coming to stop you. But you must be prepared."

“But who are you?”

“I am your brother Mars!”   “We are here on this planet to have some fun”

“They are coming for us, but surprise will be all theirs.”  “We are gods….what can they do?”

“But let us not tell them yet….since we should have our fun.”

“Our first goal is to become part of society….become one of them”

“You my brother have become too used to your form and the regular role you are playing in life.”

“A role that does not become you.” “Look at what I am about to show you.  The possibilities are limitless.”

And with a wave of this had I saw a giant image appear……history was passing so quickly….it was not just one history, but multiple histories.  It was like a million pathways at one time. It was only possible for gods to follow.

And in a blink of an eye the scene changed to a boardroom high on the 50^th floor of an office building in midtown New York.

In the mirror it was no longer Mars and Apollo…..but two businessmen, neatly dressed and attending a meeting on science and artificial intelligence.
