A Horseman’s Gaze
For 200 years, mankind has tried to fix their own calamities. Too little, too late seems appropriate to say at the moment. Well…as far I’m concerned, things couldn’t be any better than what we’ve got now. It was always believed that we were the center of the universe…boy were we wrong! It took another race of life-forms to change our fortunes. Luckily, these beings were compassionate enough to help us, smart enough to save planet earth, and noble enough to lead us humans in the right direction. Hell…they could’ve stayed and ruled us with an iron hand…but they didn’t. They recognized that we dim-witted humans actually have a spine to do what’s right for everyone. And one of those dim-witted humans with a spine was me. A lowly rancher with a high school education and three ex-wives to his name. Out of all the humans on this tiny rock of ours , these beings declared that I would be the one to watch over the entire planet and report any threats or ominous behavior across the world; just in case we need more rescuing. Can’t beat that Jack! Well, here I am with an advanced set of new eyes and upgraded set of ears to capture the troubles of world. It’s now my sworn duty to gaze across every piece of land and sea. I ain’t really much of an adrenaline junkie. As long as the world keeps the peace, I can steadily go on about my days on the back of my horse Wind. Me and Wind will watch over mankind with the hopes that we don’t screw things up again. I owe it to these aliens for saving us and adding a new frontier for us to live on…hmm…I think I’ll just buy these alien boys some cold beers.
