Alpha Adept from Winter Wheat by John K. Samson

For now I know we are alone here, still we should be prepared to leave. I found a place where I have hidden supplies and books and sleeping bags. And I’ll sing in my prescriptions from our fort out in a forest near a stream. And they’ll place them in a tiny yellow sailboat and sail them to me.

All I can say is I’m excited. All I can do is let you know you are the one I want to be with when they return to claim the Earth for a planet near Orion’s belt where everyone is happier and tall, and they sing a billion stories with their minds while flying all around the sky.

I have heard them singing each to each, and who’s to say that they won’t sing to me. I’m not certain, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to sing a song for you and me.
