That’s all the little penguin said. This was odd of course, because I should have been dead…

“Looble… Looble!”

I was about to crash a surely fatal crash when my spaceship decided to explode instead. I’m still not sure which fate would have been best, but one thing was certain, both options were fatal and I was most certainly dead…

“Follow me! Looble… Looble!

No doubt about it now, I was definitely dead. My mission was to collect samples of a new microbial lifeform discovered in the galaxy. This creature was not a microbe. This little fellow was an advanced intelligence, something we had yet to find, something which could only exist within the subconscious of a dying man…

“Let’s go Mr. Alien, military will be here soon!”

You don’t travel thousands of light years across the galaxy to find a cute little tuxedo creature who also happens to speak the same language as you. There are things that are possible and things that are not. The chances of this being a probable reality were infinitesimally small. The likelihood of being dead on the other hand, those were good odds.

“You’re not dead Mr. Alien, we’ve been expecting you. We need to move. Follow me.”

As the little creature waddled away something brushed passed me. I couldn’t tell if it was the light or perhaps the result of a head injury, but all I saw was a translucent bubble floating after the penguin. Come to think of it, how did I even know the creature was a penguin? A penguin named Deceth…

“Looble… Looble!”

I dusted myself off and began my journey. A true man of science leaves no mystery unsolved, not even in the subconscious of his dying moments…
