RECRUITER FROM ANOTHER WORLD

I was in a fast food restaurant one day when a beautiful woman ahead of me had a hard time selecting from the menu.

"Excuse me, sir, but I don't know what to order. What do you like to eat and drink?"

"I usually order a chicken sandwich, French fries, and a soda. Do you like chicken?"

"I.....I don't know. I'm new around here."

"You don't know? I thought people around the world liked chicken."

"I like chicken. I just am used to eating the bird itself and not a chicken sandwich."

"Then you'll like the sandwich. How about the French fries and soda?"

"If you like them, I'll order them too."

"Tell you what. I'll order for both of us, if you don't mind."

"If you want. I'll trust you."

When I walked up to the counter I ordered two chicken sandwiches, a large order of French fries to share with her, and two sodas. I dispensed what I thought she would like and walked with her over to a table in the corner. That is when the most incredible story I had ever heard was told by her.

After praying briefly over my meal I struck up a conversation with her.

"You said you weren't from around here. Where exactly are you from?"

"Please don't think I'm crazy. But my name is Yulloa Constranene. I come from a distant world where my father is the ruler."

I stopped momentarily and took another bite before asking her, "Is this a movie we're in?"

"I knew you would think I was lying."

"It's not that. I have a friend I call Crazy Dan who always talks about aliens and alien technology. But I always thought i deserved to meet one before he did. Show me some proof."

She slowly placed her purse on the table and open it to pull out a device she handed me. It looked like a cell phone and even flipped open like one. But the images leaped from the screen like holograms only they were crystal clear and almost looked solid. It was of a large building that was futuristic in appearance.

"That is the palace at Stornhaggen. I was sent from there to your planet to find someone who will best represent your people. You might be that person."

"I would be honored. Have you approached others?"

"A few people. But they thought I was crazy. You aren't like them, are you?"

"I'm willing to believe anything about alien life on other planets as long as it makes sense to me. I love science fiction, so I'm used to stories like what is happening. What would I have to do?"

"You would be your planet's ambassador and advocate. Are you interested?"
