I always loved hitting things, especially with my bare hands. I would often skip school to sit in the park all day and hit things. Did you know the best things to hit are empty? Not people though, not even the empty ones.

At some point people joined me on the grass — some of them also hitting things, some of them tearing things, some of them blowing into things, some of them just blowing into the air while making weird things with their throat. Others would just sit with us doing nothing, just witnessing the hitting and tearing and blowing. I didn’t mind any of them. It was nice to have company.

One day some of those people asked me to come with them. We would visit all kinds of places, blowing and hitting and tearing. Sometimes there were many people to witness, sometimes not so many. But we learned a lot on our travels — did you know you can hit things with wooden clubs as well? So I also started doing that.

Recently someone came to me and asked me to join them on their spaceship. I think they want to go to Mars, which I heard is in space. I also heard that space is very empty, which is great for hitting, so that’s where I’m going.
