This
weekend
I
went
out
and
observed
people
in
their
not
-so-native
city
environment
.
They
were
having
a
cultural
celebration
of
the
season
that
those
on
this
part
of
the
planet
refer
to
as
summer
.
There
seemed
to
be
a
few
main
activities.
Many
were
consuming
this
beverage
they
called
"
beer
"
and
others
were
performing
an
activity
which
they
called
"
doing
shots
".
After
they
partook
of
these
events
for
awhile
some
seemed
happy
,
some
seemed
beligerent
and
others
simply
fell
asleep
in
positions
which
appeared
both
awkward
and
uncomfortable
.
Even
the
ones
who
were
not
stumbling
about
seemed
to
get
angry
at
the
sleepy
ones
and
insisted
that
they
leave
as
they
were
obstructing
these
tents
where
some
earthlings
were
attempting
to
trade
odd
looking
objects
for
little
pieces
of
paper
.
As
the
planet's
rotation
began
to
hide
the
sun
from
view
of
the
region's earthlings
their
density
began
to
swell
to
proportions
which
caused
some
to
feel
what
their
modern
scholars termed
agoraphobia
.
Those
who
were
partaking
heavily
off
the
"
beer
"
and
"
doing
shots
"
began
to
both
pair
up
with
members
of
either
the
opposite
or
the
same
sex
and
stumble
over
one
another
with
an
increasing
frequency
.
It
was
around
this
point
that
this
alien
began
to
feel
the
contagious
condition
of
agoraphobia
and
felt
it
necessary
to
make
a
hasty
retreat
before
things
got
out
of
hand
.
If
only
I
were
not
the
only
one
left
of
my
species
...
Alone
,
observing
the
other
creature's
of
this
planet
my
ship
crashed
upon
...
None
to
copulate
with
;
even
if
there
were
I
am
sticking
to
my
vow
of
celibacy
for
at
least
3
months
because
there
is
an
odd
feeling
of
relief
involved
in
not
performing
meaningless
practice
runs
of
the
human
mating
ritual
amongst
those
of
my
species
anyhow
.
