Zanthar

 Zanthar

Once upon a time way out in space, there was a planet call gleebleglorp. It was home to a specie of alien called angler aliens. They are aliens who don't have limbs, eyes like snails, a wide range of colours, and they are very loving. If they could hug you they would. One particular alien named Zanthar, was one of the most loving out of all those on his planet. Zanthar was pink, with blue eyes, and a mark of his species which was a light pink polka dot heart. Every limbless alien is born with one. Zanthar always had a smile on his face, and complimented people every chance he could. One day Zanthar was hoping around town, when came across the spaceships. Curious Zanthar climbed inside one, started to play around with the buttons. After that the ship started to whir to life, and before Zanthar knew what was happening the ship launched. He traveled through space at warp speed, reaching the planet earth. The ship was falling toward the planet, crashing in a small town outside of California. When the smoke cleared Zanthar pushed open the door, and hopped out to look at his new surroundings. Looking around at the strange place Zanthar had never seen such weird plants and animals before, he found everything so interesting. Including the temperature, Zanthar wasn't used to it being so warm. On gleebleglorp, the temperature is relatively cool. But Zanthar liked the feeling, and closed his eyes to soak it up. As he ventured further into the town, he saw the weirdest creatures ever walking around. They were walking around on these two long things that looked like trees, their bodies were all different shapes and sizes. They were wearing some sort of cloth on them, Zanthar had never seen anything like the strange creatures but he liked it, and laughed at their weirdness. As he continued exploring, Zanthar noticed that those creatures were looking at him. He didn't know why, I mean he just passing through. He came across a little neighborhood, which looked really cool to Zanthar. The pods there were different from his, they were alot bigger, and had green stuff on the ground. Zanthar laid down on the green, and loved the feel of it on his skin. He giggled to himself as it tickled him. Inside the house, that Zanthar was infront of a little boy noticed him out on the lawn. He was so surprised to see such a strange being, he ran outside to get a closer look. "hey!" the boy said to Zanthar. Startled by the boy's voice, Zanthar sat up and looked at him. "hi there, what's your name?" the boy asked, with a curious expression on his face. Now you would think being from a different planet, there would be a language barrier. But the limbless aliens can learn any language simply by listening to it. "my name is Zanthar!" the little alien said with a smile. "what are you?" the boy asked sitting down next to him. "I'm an alien from the planet gleebleglorp." Zanthar said proudly. "wow! A real life alien!" the boy said excitedly. "my name is Jason, it's nice to meet you." the boy said, smiling at the little creature in front of him. "would you like a hug?" Zanthar asked. "I would love one, but how do you hug without arms?" Jason asked confused. "you hug me, and I express my love through my warmth." Zanthar said with a smile. Jason pulled the alien close to him, and hugged him close. Zanthar then went on to explain how he ended up on earth, and told Jason all about his species. Jason in return told him all about earth. The two ended up having a great time. "you know Zanthar, I think you and I are going to be great friends." Jason said giving his new friend anothr hug. "me too Jason, me too." Zanthar said.
