Planet Jones

A Story by Abishai100

Can a yearning-image on an uncharted moon during a space-flight by father-daughter create a 'strange-light' for metaphysical detention?

A scifi flight romanticism-oriented strange misadventure inspired by Dr. Who. Thanks for reading,

Amlan and his daughter Ezzy were soaring on their advanced space-jet gifted by Weyland Company (Earth) for their father-daughter media-diplomacy light-speed travel flight/mission to faraway uncharted planet Origae but were steered off-course to the unknown organic but strange-atmosphere Origae-moon which they named Desdemona!

AMLAN: This moon is dense, rich, organic, green, and weird, sweetheart.

EZZY: Yeah.

Amlan/Ezzy were a 'darling' father-daughter duo who liked Facebook-IQ (Earth) and hoped they'd find signs/proof of mission-flight worthy expedition and started to collect samples of Desdemona-flora.

AMLAN: I bought my special green-pearl necklace your late-mom wore before she passed.

EZZY: Yeah.

They encountered two very unusual and strange (even somewhat eerie!) looking smart-looking female alien-'xenomorph' aliens who had no name but lived on the moon as recluses after escaping from an Origae warlord (Endymion) and were protected by their guardian-warrior Predator. These two female-xenomorph 'semi-humanoids' were named Dartmouth/Stanford and explained to Amlan/Ezzy they were being 'stalked' by a mysterious and undesirable 'Moloch' (ex-guardian from Origae who's considered a criminal of sorts) and hoped Amlan/Ezzy might help them with their apparently 'creative' wit(s).

PREDATOR: My two fair-ladies/damsels are being 'stalked' by the Moloch and wondering if you have some distraction method!

AMLAN: This 'Moloch' is dormant in his space-pod on Desdemona but prowls around in the mist, so we'll use a flashlight!

EZZY: Yeah.

MOLOCH: What the hell is that distracting light in the mist tonight (did the Predator-guardian find a 'laser' to shield demons)?

AMLAN: Now that we're back on Earth, I'm glad we 'gifted' Dartmouth/Stanford mom's bead-jewelry after the Moloch evasion!

EZZY: Yeah.

Amlan started dating another woman after his Origae-moon (Desdemona) adventure! He told her of his love of Treasure Island and other Earth 'treasures' but never told her about his 'misadventure' with daughter Ezzy on his space-flight detour for Weyland, and this new life-love for Amlan (Claire) reminded him what's important/precious on Earth-life/time --- humility of romance.
