I suppose I should start off with the basics: my name is Horacious Jeffrey pitchitchi Illuka Illuka Kondo the VI, but you can call me ‘Jim’. I’m 18, I support LiverpoolF.C and when making breakfast I pour the cereal before the milk, so you know I’m trustworthy#Jimsstory ep1🧵

Of course that takes me for a loop. That Craig and this beautiful woman could share DNA would be one of life’s greatest mysteries. She looked like a setting sun in alien form. He looked like being poked by a hot rod in the eye would feel. #Jimsstory ep2 75/75

Yes! My sister! So back off or I’ll shoot you in the Grazorghulkazal!” he says ramming the barrel of his gun into my calf #Jimsstory ep2 74/75

“Get away from my sister Hooman!” he said venomously. Talk about a nasty surprise. I look from Craig to Scherazad, a few times as my brain tries to process what he had just said. “Your sister?” I asked confused. #Jimsstory ep2 73/75

“Ahem,” said a voice cutting through the atmosphere like a buzzsaw. I turned around to find Craig framed in the open door and pointing his gun at my heart. #Jimsstory ep2 72/75

“I’m really starting to think that,” said Scherazad drawing closer. She looked me in the eyes and it was like she had turned the dial of her attractiveness from a ‘four’ to a ‘twelve’. #Jimsstory ep2 71/75

“Everything,” I said because your boy did not have a shameful bone in his body. Scherazad said, “I have been waiting for someone like you”, and I replied “There’s no one like me,” #Jimsstory ep2 70/75

“You fought for me,” said Scherazad. Which I thought was a cute way of putting it. A ‘fight’ suggested a competitive outcome rather than the ‘one-way-train-crash-of-pain’ I put on Xibiti. “What am I to you?” asked Scherazad earnestly. #Jimsstory ep2 69/75

Xibiti shook his fist at me and said , “Yaw wucky , wey’re cawying me because by the bwue star I would have mopped the fwoor with you!” he said a few loose teeth falling out of his mouth and bouncing on the floor like loose change. #Jimsstory ep2 68/75

Xibiti got beaten like a glowing sword by a blacksmith. The suitors knew how to assess a losing battle when they saw one. During a lull in the action they picked up Xibiti, and scuttled away. #Jimsstory ep2 67/75

I will admit that some of the frustration I had at being kidnapped by an alien and having to say goodbye to my life on earth I took out on the poor soul. But the fact that he weighed about as much as a soda can and was half as durable didn’t help either. #Jimsstory ep2 66/75

He never got to finish his sentence. To say I put my hands on Xibiti was a euphemism on par with uncle Anfernee replying ‘I could be better’ when asked how he felt after being struck by lightning twice in a thirty second span. #Jimsstory ep2 65/75

“Who are you to come in between me and my woman!” said the young L.O.S. Then to my surprise he pulled out a white glove and smacked me across the calf with it. “ I “Xibiti of house Kwimkwim challenge you to a fight to the dea-” #Jimsstory ep2 64/75

A skinny alien with green fur and a curly moustache like a swirl of milk in a cup of coffee, I supposed was the leader of the suitors(L.O.S), tugged at my trouser leg ( the highest point he could reach). #Jimsstory ep2 63/75

Sure as my name was Horacious Jeffrey pitchitchi Illuka Illuka Kondo the VI, I had no doubt that I had just created a group of passionate lifetime enemies. #Jimsstory ep2 62/75

The suitors got to their feet and fanned around me forming a bloodthirsty mob their faces and clothes covered in footprints the exact shape and size of the bottoms of my Jordan 2 sneakers. #Jimsstory ep2 61/75

I looked down and realized I was standing on a mound of moaning suitors. In my rush to walk over to Scherazad I had actually just stepped on ¼ of the group of suitors and knocked over the remaining ¾ #Jimsstory ep2 60/75

A chorus of groans rose from somewhere under me. A solitary voice said, “That’s corny!” which goes to show that even 12 million miles away from earth and somewhere in the middle of nowhere the spirit of hatin’ could still burn bright in some alien hearts. #Jimsstory ep2 59/75

“What is your name, boy? “she asked. “My name is Jim,” I said. “Good my name is Scherazad-” but she stops, because I press a finger to her lips and shake my head. “No mademoiselle. Your name is beautiful.” #Jimsstory ep2 58/75
