Mr. D: Alien Doc

A Story by Abishai100

Narrated account of a curious Princeton (NJ/USA) student's experience(s) with her eccentric sci-fi art(s) teacher who seems like an alien-modeling dentist!

A vignette about sci-fi education and creativity, inspired by a host of sci-fi films, including My Stepmother is an Alien (Kim Basinger). Enjoy,

I always wondered what Mr. D did in his spare-time after school in Princeton. I mean, he'd been a terrific teacher of sci-fi literature/art(s) and encourage med to think 'avidly' about alien-intelligence(s) folklore/storytelling but wasn't sure about applications to actual social normal life. I followed him home one day and saw him in his bedroom-window staring at a replica action-figure of a sci-fi alien-dragon 'creature' called the Xenomorph, an insect-dragon like hellraiser with acidic/explosive saliva!

I'd been his college course student for 3 terms now, since the sci-fi literature/art(s) course was a 3-term segmented multi-credit feature for my interdisciplinary art-literature-cinema major. I'd become one of his favorite cyber-diorama arts-theme photo-model for this in-class dioramas about sci-fi character-placement(s) for horror-adventure modeling of alien-invasion storytelling crafting, popular (ironically) for modern social-media culture conversations surrounding movie-star allure sci-fi/fantasy dance(s)!

MR. D: Why'd you want a special office-hour(s) session about Xenomorph toys, sweetie?
ME (Student): Well, Mr. D, I noticed you 'playing' with your Xeno-doll when I rode by on bike.
MR. D: You spied on me and caught me indulging in my alien sci-fi modeling imagination, eh?

ME: That's right, Mr. D; now I'm fascinated by your casting of the Xeno-alien dragon toys for sci-fi.
MR. D: Let's just say, sweetie-pupil of mine, that my Xeno-dragon playspace has much to do with caution.

ME: Caution, Mr. D?
MR. D: Yeah, sweetie --- the Xeno-dragon (acidic/explosive saliva) has much to do with survival posture(s).

ME: How's that?
MR. D: The alien spews saliva that can either/both burn surfaces or create micro-explosions and symbolizes disarray.

ME: Disarray?

MR. D: Yeah --- as in, it's a hellrasier of surface stability.

ME: Well, why're you dream-casting it as like a 'dark' Barbie (the Xeno-alien action-doll in your house)?

MR. D: Let's just say I 'fantasize' I'm Peter Pan (flying-boy!), and the Xeno-dragon invades planet like arsonist.

ME: So you're on the trail of a 'dark' pirate as a flying-boy hero like Peter Pan?
MR. D: That's my evolution survivalism 'dance' posture academic presentation rhetoric, dear sweetie pupil.

DIARY (Me): Mr. D strikes me as a Xeno-alien academic(s)-'maestro' who casts himself as a Peter Pan 'hero' against invasion-IQ.

MR. D (Class): What's so special about Peter Pan and what sets him apart as some kind of hero-faerie messenger of the value(s) of planet/domain defense(s) which we 'easily' liken to mobility or flight-oriented daydreams about escaping the 'harsh' cages of imposed prisons of darkness erected by the dark minds of pirate-like demons symbolic of civilization (or planetary!) distance(s)?

DIARY (Me): When Mr. D presented his amazing RoboTech universe-civilization of fantasy as choreographed modeling of species-defenses against invader-minds or 'dark machinery' threatening stabilizing governance, I realized his fascination with the Xenomorph alien-dragon intelligence (from the iconic sci-fi horror franchise Alien) had much to do with what he 'cast' as posture(s) of conscious-mind(s) teamwork for survivalism dictionaries!

ME: Mr. D, I got you this Xenomorph-in-capsule 'frozen' action-figurine from eBay to entreat your 'study' of Gargoyles.

MR. D: Wow, that's fantastic, sweetie; I wonder where I'll place this in my cupboard of sci-fi horror matrix figurines?

ME: Maybe you'll put it next to one of my model-sculptures of human 'resistance fighters' in stories about evolution?
MR. D: Sweetie-pupil, that sounds like a 'diagram' of rather 'dollar(s)' proportion(s) --- you get an A+.
