ago. Our creators created us in their image but could not get the color right. The sun on our planet was about to go supernova and the creators decided to find another planet. They didn’t have enough room in all of their spaceships for us so they were going to leave us there.
They made us very strong and gave us the will to survive. They had planned to inhabit our bodies so they would never die and they had been working on something they called pigmentation before they discovered they needed to leave.
They should never have given us the will to survive. We overpowered them and took th eir spaceships. They had made us smart but were planning on disconnecting that part of our neurosets before they inhabited our bodies. Fina heard them talking about this. They had used us to help build the spaceships but they were going to abandon us to die on Creighten .
We left them there to die instead. When we landed on this planet, we saw some of the same species as our creators. They will not destroy us. We were given the will to live, the will to live.
We sat there, not sure whether she was finished or not. Finally Abbott spoke up, “We are not like those who wanted to abandon you. We’re a very peaceful people. This was our planet before you came and now you have made us live in that black burnt area. We have done nothing to you.
“We didn’t create you and we would never try to destroy you. We would like to share the beauty of this planet with you. We have been very sick with the coughing disease and we deserve to live with clean air and water. We were here first, after all.”
We waited for her to reply and she asked something I would never have expected, “ Can you teach us to swim and do you know how to oil machinery?”
Everyone but Abbott laughed. He was very serious as he said, “We can teach you how to swim and some of us knew how to work on that vehicle you’re using for a chair. I imagine we can oil you as well.”
She looked at me, “Will you make me some garments like these you wear?”
“I would love to design clothes for everyone here. It’s one of the thing s I love to do.”
Charlie hadn’t said anything but now got into the spir it of what we were trying to do. He said, “Joe and I can teach you to play musical instruments.”
We staye d on Usauris for several months. We found out that the fire was created by a huge laser gun on the spaceships. When they showed us the ships, I noticed they were rusting and I doubted the guns worked any longer.
I designed clothes for the men and women. There were no children. I also designed clothes for Abbott and his people.
The androids and Abbotts people were learning a lot from each other . I had g rown to love all these people and androids and was sad to leave the m. This was the first time we had made friends and had to leave them behind.
CHAPTER NINE
Something else was different this time about our departure. The cave had given us notice that we were leaving by becoming transparent before lifting off and before we were all in it.
We had been having a picnic with all of our new friends by the big lake. Joe and some of the other men were teaching the androids to dive. Abbotts’s people had planted a beautiful garden and we had taken the food for the picnic from there. Besides a big variety of vegetables, we had fresh berries and nuts from the trees that were already growing there.
All of us women were sitting on the grass talking about fashion. I had designed clothes for everyone and Ginger had made them from the cloth that Sandra had woven.
We had had a real challenge designing and making clothes for Rodena . She was not only almost seven feet tall, but she had big breast and a very small waist.
While we were talking, my daughter, Josie came running up and said, “Mommy, the cave has become clear. You can see through to the inside just like when we travel.”
