The water was still and too although it seemed like it was moving it wasn't .Below then the surface of the water were hidden six nuclear missiles the remaining six,we were as to use a term loosely aliens, We came from beyond the solar system, our world was doom,but we heard life existed elsewhere and we even made radio contact,but unfortunately like life anywhere we were all the same,hostile fighting with each other,killing. Even here on this third planet we had landed on,there was a war,it seemed to be a world war because there were few survivors,we did not care for the survivors we then too were more unterest in their technology and what we could use from it .We were then technology users whatever technology we found that no one was using we would take it and adapt it to our own ,and even though they were only nuclear missiles even someone somewhere would want that kind of power,though we were to far advance for such primitive technology we were coming here after all in a mile wide spaceship you know .Our world use to be like this one,green and blue,life living on it.yet they in fact had to fight among each other as it always happens when a planet got too crowded and so they destroyed their world.With our robots we use with us we lifted then the six remaining nuclear missiles into our spaceship,which at last count carried two hundred thousand remaining survivors of a holocaust and we too started our mighty engines as the spaceship lifted up and away. I looked out of one of the many decorative windows of the ship and as the spaceship lifted higher,I saw two humans,as they had called themselves looking up at us and pointing towards us,both shaking their heads ,' I told you it had to be aliens,we might kill each other off one by one or a group of people,but why would anyone destroy the world they live in? It's almost insane,don't you think ? ' he asked ,No answer .' Whose to say that they did it,'the other human answered,'just because they have technology we didn't or a mile wide spaceship,we've had wars before ,even the so called then war to then end all wars remember that one,no I think those aliens were interested in our technology not us they're too far then advance,we destroy every city we ever had had built,destroyed millions by a touch of a button,by one man's decision. I think aliens are smarter and they wouldn't depend on one person to decide the fate of a world.'I then laughed as my mind touched that human's mind and heard what he said,that's exactly how our world was destroyed by the decision of one person that we total fate in and then we found out,it was to late even for our advance technology and wisdom,in one person's hateful acts could destroy an entire world,an entire civilization. Hate is the most powerful weapon anywhere.No matter what part of the universe you live in. Hate.
