Corn

I live around corn in the summer. Corn everywhere I look. I have to admit that I always wish that someday I would be driving down the road in a tunnel of corn (because that's what it feels like, a tunnel of corn) or maybe walking beside the corn, and suddenly an alien would just step out of it, like the movie Signs. It would be so cool, because then I would have met an alien!
Well, yesterday I was out walking, shockingly enough, surrounded by corn, when I started hearing some noises in the corn. I thought I was imagining it. I took my headphones out and started listening more carefully. Wasn't my imagination, there was definitely noises coming from the corn. Naturally, my first thought was that there were aliens hiding in the corn, probably like preparing their weapons, or if they were friendly aliens their gifts. I just stopped walking, hoping one would walk out and I'd finally see an alien! Then I looked closely at the corn and noticed something.


That corn is planted way too close together for aliens to be hiding in it, living in it, planning to take over earth in it, waiting for the best moment to walk out and surprise me in it. And I think all the corn in Indiana is planted real close together like that too! It wasn't like that in the movie Signs at all! Mel Gibson just walked through it barely even pushing it out of his way. No way could he walk through this corn with ease. See look at the corn in the movie Signs, it was way far apart. I don't know what kind of stupid farmer was planting that corn, he was missing out on a lot of money leaving all that space. Not to mention he was opening the world up to take over by giving the aliens the perfect hiding place.

So, I guess the sounds I heard in the corn had something to do farming and nothing to do with aliens. Oh the disappointment. Now, since the corn's so close together round here, I'm betting that I will never see an alien walk out of it. Oh well, if I'd seen an alien it would have changed my life forever anyway. The way I see it, it would have been the coolest thing that ever happened to me, and I'd want to tell everyone, but no one would believe me, and they'd just think I was crazy. So, maybe it's best that I just live around boring corn fields that hide no aliens, that are planted super close together so the farmers can make more money.
