PSI: The Theory of Relativity
Ness’s mom stared nervously out the window. She could not believe what she was seeing. Huge mechanical octopuses, 7-foot-tall human-like aliens, and even giant, unnerving, mobile eye balls with legs! They all seemed to be patrolling the meteorite that had fallen earlier that week. Consequently, this caring, solicitous mother could do nothing more than wonder whether or not her son would be alright during this apparent alien invasion.
Not to mention, the power was out, so Ness’s mom couldn’t do the laundry, nor watch her favorite soaps. She and Tracy could do nothing more than sit at the table and eat raw steak meat (the oven wouldn’t work, either).
Suddenly, Ness’s mom was thoroughly surprised by a knocking on the door. The ordinary supposition was that her son was outside, but Ness’s mother knew that her child would never knock before entering a house; it was a form of courtesy that even Lardna’s kids had mastered, but not hers.
Therefore, she knew something was up. After telling Tracy to go upstairs for a bit, she cautiously strode over to the door and opened it slowly. Then she was greeted by one of the aforementioned 7-foot tall aliens that she had witnessed previously. Not sure whether to slam the door shut or strike up a conversation, Mom spoke:
“C-can I help you?” she asked. The alien’s response included various clicks and mechanical noises.
“Affirmative, Ma’am. Upon our arrival, we have noticed an immensely high concentration of PSI-based energy on this property.”
“PSI-based energy?” the woman repeated bewilderedly. “But… my son isn’t even home!”
“Nevertheless,” the alien continued indifferently, following a short buzz and click. “This land shall be utterly vaporized; effective immediately.”
“Utterly vaporized?!” Ness’s mom cried apprehensively. “But you can’t do that!”
“Negative. Observe,” the enemy replied, while raising its arms to the heavens.
Ness’s mom began panicking fearfully. Looking up to the sky, she noticed unidentifiable objects forming above their heads. Soon, she found herself shutting her eyes and holding out her hands in front of her, towards the mechanical fiend. All of a sudden, Ness’s mom witnessed a small, yet massively powerful beam of pure energy bursting forth from her head, racing towards the unfortunate alien. What was left of the enemy after this unexpected attack was nothing more than a mass of ascending vapors, and a lone pair of robotic feet.
“Oh, my…” Ness’s mom whispered to herself. “I guess I changed its mind, then,” she added, smiling.
And so, Ness’s mother returned to pointlessly standing around the house, waiting for her son to arrive. She had just made an amazing discovery, yet she decided to keep it to herself, for the time being. Of course, that particular Starman had tons of back-up, who could have avenged his death, but the sight of its obliterated corpse in front of the house caused his allies to reconsider that notion. Instead, they chose to hover around the small residence, acting as intimidating and frightening as possible.
