Regular readers of these Ramblings will know this post is a little ‘off-beat‘ to those I generally write. However, read on, I am certain you’ll find this entertaining if not a little… well, read on to find out…
I have the sunglasses.

Although I am a multi-genre author, I do not tend to write science fiction and have never attempted a dystopian novel.
However, this does not stop my thoughts from wandering into such realms, such as it did a short while ago.
I was contemplating the forthcoming lifting of travel restrictions and therefore, by default, thinking about the pandemic, when this idea entered my mind.
Now, I have heard several conspiracy theories which claim Covid 19 is fake. Many of these theories then speculate about mass public control, or Illuminati culling the human species and so forth.
I am sure you have read many such posts on social, especially at the start of the Pandemic.
As part of my thought process, which was an uncontrollable stirring of the muses, I recalled the 2007 film ‘Invasion’ and the ‘Pod People’.
For those who are not familiar with the film, this is the explanation on Wiki:
“In ‘The Invasion’, the aliens are a virus. After the person falls asleep, the virus re-writes human DNA.
Then, these Genetically Modified (post-humans?) vomit a gelatinous substance to continue the invasion.
As their invasion snowballs, the pod people transform humans by injecting them with the substance under the guise of ‘influenza vaccines’”.
So, you may be asking… if you are still reading this… what my mind was doing with all this information.
Well, simple, it was drafting a rough outline for a novel that goes something like this. (Conspiracy theorists get your pens ready!)
What if this Covid 19 pandemic is fake?
What if it is planned unilateral action taken by world leaders?
What if they are doing it to appease an extra-terrestrial lifeform who have returned to ‘Harvest’ their human crop?
What if our governments are attempting to assuage the aliens by offering a limited number of humans, hence the major number of ‘deaths’ in the first wave?
Then, a lesser number in the second and third waves of the pandemic and the lockdowns, as our leaders negotiate with the extraterrestrials?
What if they are hiding the truth to protect us, to protect society?
It is said the human race may have come from stardust… maybe our ancestors were simply seeds?
Many peoples ask what is the point of life, of being… maybe we are just being bred as food, on a farm we call the universe?
Maybe we developed beyond that which was expected, maybe we have a chance of survival if we give up some of our numbers every 1000 years or so… maybe, one day we could fight back, even escape?
Maybe… You write the story… I’ll read it.
In the meantime, could I temp you to read one of my books? Check them out if you will by visiting my website.
