      L’ENFANT TERRIBLE

      Morning comes sooner than I’d have preferred. I stumble through my usual morning routine and head to the lab. All the usual artifacts are scattered along the research tables. Mostly, these artifacts consist of Maya junk typical in this area. Sometimes I wonder why the college still funds our research here. Every day it looks more and more like this part of Central America is all dried up.

      Scanning my work area, I see some newly discovered parchment on my table. Dr. Sashara must have left it here for me to look over. I can see that the text is written in proto-Maya. There is also a receipt here from the carbon dating lab. What? That can’t be right. 50 years old? That’s it? Hardly seems worth the time. But, it is in proto-Maya. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to translate a bit of it.

      ~What I am about to tell you will be a great strain on my ability to explain. Not for any lack of mastery on my part of your language for my fluency of your native tongues is complete. It is more so that the sounds and voice patterns of my language can not be formed by any Terran alphabet, and some of my words are untranslatable in any other form of communication.

      Who I am you will not be able to fathom. Before I begin my telling, however, it is most important to point out that I am no god. It does not serve my purpose to claim a form of divinity toward people of this Terran world, though many of my people have before~

      An incredible discovery if I’d ever seen one. Unfortunately, it would go unrecognized by my colleagues. Many in my profession would scoff at the idea of an extraterrestrial discovery of this magnitude. True enough, the document is most likely a fake. The script is written in proto-Maya but only carbon dates to be approximately 50 years old or so. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to study more of this text.

      I see Dr. Sashara coming around the
