Weird Mr White’s Not Right

Mr White was a reject of society . He never chose to be but mental illness made sure that he was not made welcome in the community . He lived alone in a very small villa in Tarment Village .  All day he sat looking into space . 

No one ever knocked on his door except for the local doctor who came once a week to give him a shot of the Lone Star Sedative that kept him from the low valley of depression . 

Depending on his state of health he would sometimes go for a stroll into the village . He never spoke to anyone and no one ever spoke to him .  He was considered to be a victim of schizophrenia .  If only people could have understood that he wasn’t as mad as they thought .

In fact Mr White was a very gifted man who had powers of telepathy and  Clairvoyance . His mind was like a magnet that could share thoughts of animals and humans alike . 

 

He was even able to see visions of things that were to come and he had the ability of heal people  , if only he had the chance to use his gifts . 



They said Mr White was quite unstable . 

They said he was possibly in the early stages of Dementia . 

They said he was having delusions and hallucinations . 

They said he had no future at 32 years of age . 



He was avoided like the plague by those who considered themselves to be civilized and sane . They thought it was better not to get involved . 



Sometimes Mr White would go on the warpath . 

He purposely walked back and forward along his street to upset the other residents who were pretending not to see him . 

He watched them and heard what they said about him . 

Behind their locked doors and closed curtains he saw them . 

It was the story of Tarment City on the interior TV set in his head . 

He saw what they were thinking . 



Some of them reported him to the police . 

They said he was a peeping tom . 

They said he even wandered into their homes and rummaged through their personal things . 



Mr White seemed aware of the other residents in his street who had made reports about him . 

Mr White had voiced some anger towards him . 







When the Police arrived Mr. White’s behavior seemed normal . 

The police advised Mr. White about a number of concerns. 

Mr. Whites personal safety was at risk . 

There was another factor about Mr White however that no one knew . 



He was not human . 

Mr White was an alien . 

The doctors had never assessed his anatomy . If they had they would have discovered he had three hearts and an array of chemical changes 

happening . 



Each night at sun down Mr White would walk out of doors and Physically remove anyone or anything that stood in its way . His eyesight could not function in the darkness . He felt around with his arms outstretched . 

Everyone was dumbfounded the evening that a spaceship landed on his front lawn . 



That evening strange looking plants started growing in Mr Whites garden . 

The plant species and place of origin as a mystery . 

God only knows how they ever got to be and grow . 

There they spread around the garden bed and up the trunks of trees . 

As if just by chance, I walked past and found out what was going on .

So now pay attention open  up your eyes and ears and I'll tell you . 



At first I really thought my mind was gone and started to rub the sleep away from my eyes . 

There it was , all right as large as life walking from the spaceship landed on the lawn . Out came these two headed beings with green fingers , 

and huge web like feet . Thee made a squeltch sound when they walked . 



Mr Whites window opened and he said , 

" Fancy a cup of tea?" 

With a wink and a grin and a nod of the head. 



“Sure . “ 

I replied . 



In a matter of seconds he brought me over a plate full of roses to chew 

Then he said said , 

"Our mission on Earth is to try and grow plants that never die . Mr White has been part of that project " 



Suddenly a strange purple mist fell down , and in a flash they were gone . 

The spaceship blasted off, leaving a scorch mark all across my front lawn .



I stood there speechless and stunned , thinking no one will ever believe me . 

So I went back inside the house ,and poured myself a strong cup of tea . 



The End
