It's All About Trust

‘Wake up Oscar, wake up. The moon is on the horizontal and we have until the moon is at its zenith to return: lots to do Oscar.’
‘Calliope, can't I just give you a copy of my story and you give it to Head of Galaxy?’
‘No Oscar. Don't be silly. Stand up and I will prepare you for the experience. Put your head up and I will dematerialise your neck collar and place it on the sand there. Right. Now your coat, it has to be dry-cleaned with a Non Allergenic Custom Dog Coat Dry Cleaner. Done. Oh, you are looking spiffy.
Now, tonight it is going to be just you and me travelling but with a difference. When we dematerialise, as we will, you will not be travelling like we did before. We will do it via a varied Time Travel Technique - it is the new technique I have been taught. I was promoted three elevations because of you and now I can take animals out of the earth's stratosphere without going through the rigmarole we had to do before. Stand up, and I will dematerialise you but you can still see things on earth but you will be able to see me. There we are, all done. Can you see me Oscar?’
‘Yes I can Calliope, you look different this time.’
‘Oscar, I can make myself look like many things but this is how I looked when I was a human as the ancients used to think and paint me. Now that we have done this all we have to do is project ourselves without fear into another realm. Would you like to go straight to meet Saggis -Head of Galaxies or have a spin around the earth - you are allowed one revolution - heroes are only allowed one revolution in Modern Mythology nowadays.’
‘If we have time I would like to do a tour of the earth.’
‘Good, I was hoping you would like to do it. I can remember my first circumnavigation of the globe. Place ourselves around the equator for an equal-lateral view of the Bermuda Triangle - The Bermudas are grand and what about the Grand Canyon - oh yes - let us go straight to the Grand Canyon’ - sszsszzzsssss zzzzziiip.
‘Oscar, what do you think?’
‘I feel giddy - I don't like heights.’
‘Oh-well what about we see The Great Barrier Reef - you can see that from space too.’ - zzzzzesssszzzzzssszzzip
‘I like it. Far North Queensland eh? And the blue octopi there - gotta be careful there missus - eh?’
‘Oscar - stop it - can you speak all day in Aussie Slang?’
‘Nope - not yet anyway. Gotta be mad as a cut snake to do it all day.’
‘We will go to the appointed place I am to take you Oscar. We have to wait until the final preparations are in place. You have to have a Royal Welcome. Red carpet stuff Oscar.’ Sszzzzsssszzzip.
‘Calliope, how is it I do not have a body, though I do, that I can see but not have and also have a funny tummy? I am feeling nervous.’
‘Oscar - there is the sign. It is starting.....’
Oh - this is something - there is Escere - what the dickens is Escere doing here? and Fromoth? - and all sort of animals - but no humans ---oh - ok I will shut up.
I cannot see anything - it is black here and there - but every now and then something just sort of appears in my vision and then disappears.
‘The time is soon to start the celebration .. count down .. ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two -one’...........
Stars appear before us... a group of animals I know appear...the sounds of violins - feelings in my ears as though I am smelling space - outer space.
‘The Head of Galaxy is materialising for this celebration.. everyone present here place one Gold Energy into your system’ a voice from no one speaks.
‘Two hundred and thirty million human light years ago this same celebration was planned. It turned into the worst cataclysmic event in the history of the planet Earth. Almost every living thing became extinct and death and disaster swept the planet. There have been many cataclysmic events on other planets but here at this Galactic Year Celebration for the planet Earth we have representatives of the intelligent species on Earth to be with us. There is, for the ears of those who need to know, from Down Under Australia we have Ocker Oscar - Canine 127 who will read his story to us.’ Saggis, Head of Galaxy spoke.
‘I wasn’t prepared for this one - I did not bring it here with me.’
‘Oscar, I have it for you. Here it is - read it to all.’
I start to read my story and as I do I am joined on my right side by Escere and Fromoth appears on my left side.
I am finished reading my story and now there is a large thunderclap to herald the commencement of other celebrations... Serena The White Bellied Sea Eagle from the east coast of Queensland is flying in with her young eaglets - - oh this is emotional -- Serena and her young are now soaring straight up and then flying in circles riding the rising energy currents... Serena is finished and returns to a roost made of ions. A large whale is next - wow the whale depicts the need for cleaner oceans to swim in... a small bird from the jungle forests asks for more trees, a tree kangaroo from Papua New Guinea speaks of the need for less trees to be cut down where humans do not live.
I was asked what I want.... I answer - ‘A large Hollow Log’.
‘Granted to those who spoke of their goals to provide more paintings and poems and writings.......more trees, more oceans, more animals who speak for the continuance of the planets.... no more cataclysmic events like 230 million years ago - a future for The Galaxy - The Milky Way.
And now to end the celebrations before your full moon is completed its path to its zenith. Ocker Oscar-Canine 127 has promoted a new way to deal with negative energies on the planet Earth. To commence the next Galactic Year we will utilise the Ocker Oscar-Canine 127 - Prototype Galactic Flatulation - and we will simulate it here with an energy replica of a Cast Iron Bath with the best reproduction - Ocker Oscar Canine 127 please move to the front’
I am getting scared.
‘Ocker Oscar Canine 127 – Gidday Mate - please produce your best Galactic Flatulation in the Cast Iron Bath simulator, and of course, using your special Down Under Flatulator. Go for it Ocker Oscar - I could not have thought of a better replication of a Galactic Flatulation - rip it out Ocker Oscar - eh? Is that the way you say it in Queensland - eh?’ Head of Galaxy asks.
This is sooooo embarrassing.
I step up to the simulated cast iron bath and there is a ladder for me. It is the largest bath you have ever seen.....there is a ledge for me to stand on. I turn around and point my Flatulator down into the bath and.....Fffpooooft - ripple ripple sweet tweet swang dang and dipply dang and then the two thousand Electric Bass guitars, fifty thousand violins, the smells of space travel with strawberry smells and tastes and the sight of beautiful colours are coming from my Flatulator and the sounds are thunderous. Then.. a low tone bassoon.....the symphony orchestra sounds from this cast iron bath...the sounds, smells, feelings, tastes, and sights of one thousand tsunamis ripples through the galaxy of The Milky Way. The echo has a resonance of one million memories and the effect of producing a dry fart in a bath second to none. This is about a dry fart in a bath. This is heaven and my mind is unable to speak of the effect of such an experience and it happened once in 230 million year celebration...and I am the dog that let it rip out - I have always wondered the thunder down under of a good fart in a bath.
I am finished. It exhausts me to even think of doing it again. I rest and an energy lifts me up and is taking me back to where I belong with Escere and Fromoth.
‘The Galactic Year Celebrations for this Time Zone on planet Earth are finished. We will now receive further words from Saggis - Head of Galaxy.’ The Herald announced.
‘All animals have done well. You are encouraged to return and have a happy life and each of the reports that each of you have contributed will be invaluable to us when we start working on Humans and their arrogance to the preservation of the planet. Humans do not own the planet. They are guardians of the planet and must preserve their own future.
A special word to Ocker Oscar Canine 127 - Your story was written from the heart - five hundred words and no one would h
ave imagined you would write it so well. I encourage you to write a story of your life to this point of time.
Ocker Oscar, you have a favourite expression - 'It is little wonder, the thunder down under, of a good fart in a bath’. As Head of Galaxy, I command you to write your story and commence the story with those very words.
For the rest of this Full Moon with a continuum of celebrations for each Time Zone on the planet, I will reappear for the completion of celebrations.
I will then be back in 230 Million Years time for the next celebrations of the returning of The Galactic Year as it relates to Earth.’
Then Saggis, Head of Galaxy, dematerialised in front of our eyes.
‘Ocker Oscar, it has been decided the beta program has succeeded and you are no longer a beta dog. You can continue to use the software to write. You will not be hassled anymore by your three Muses - unless you need motivation.’
‘Calliope, may I go back to having a normal body again? Even though I will not be able to see you? I know with my knowing you will be with me when I write.’
‘Yes Ocker Oscar, I will delete from your memory what you will experience for the rest of the time you spend tonight with me. You will get the memories back as we develop the program more. For the rest of the night you will be allowed to see Plato and others as they lived many years ago..... a special Time Travel Experience going back in time to experience what others do not realise... Plato owned a dog... and as you slowly rematerialise you will know nothing but waking up in your shed tomorrow and...’

‘Oscar, come here Oscar, we have a treat for you. Dad is making a special door for you to go into our shed anytime you want to - it is called a doggie door - anything else you want - just give dad a yelp. I am off to Brisbane now to see the Australian team play against England at the Gabba. The whole Wide Bay Under Fifteens have free tickets and accommodation for the First Test. England are here to meet the Thunder from Down Under, he is a new fast bowler the Australian team has - see you when I get back next week.’
