also known as "space ticks" or "astro ticks". there has been four spotted in a shopping line at the science store, each of them were buying an accordion according to what each had on. a descriptoin of the clothes were lost when the store closed. we know of ticks on earth to carry lime disease, a disease that has nothing to do with limes, or the slang term for people who come from limia. a second generation limia activist speaks out against the use.
"is our skin color green? is a lime green? it takes only a child to figure this one out in the basis of the question. adolscents think about what the color green means.. it can mean envy! for surely the limia people are not envious! we have many things to be proud of.. thousands of americans would be without gravity or toothpicks if it wasn't for our countries exports. We despise those who see us as envious, perhaps they are themselves. Another meaning of green can mean growth. and this one has always been tricky, but the first thought of green and growth is grass. seems pleasant, but allergy related sicknesses are up on the rise, and i'll be damned if i'll stand here and let Limia be blamed. the second thought with growth and green is mold. Are they saying we are sucking on the old world for survival? The old world is far behind us, and though they have many more go kart championship finals under their belts, we have shot many of them and proved that our electrical tape gun is no joke. when we first introduced it they wanted to know if it shot electrical tape, or if the gun itself was made from it. we laughed then, and we laugh now don't we?! for We are grouped together by us. And us cannot be used the other way around or else it breaks the laws of grammar, just as man is breaking the laws of man by connecting us to these Moon Ticks. I think they are a rumor, perhaps a fabrication as an excuse to chop off my other leg... or to take the vanetian blinds off my windows... but my personal losses have little effect on the big picture. you can knock us over and we will fall down, but then we'll get up and if you want to knock us over again we'll probably get back up unless we are really hurt or landed on something sharp. but with that shard of glass sticking out of our asses, we will charge you backwalking into your stomach and twist. And we will see who has guts! just as cheese gets old and turns lime green, the moon tick fantasy turns to limia. but we will overcome these rumors with a flick of a wrist and a roll of an eye. goodday, and limia pride!"
our data base shows that most sightings of moon ticks have been done so by middle/lower class families, and most often in children or adults under the height of 5'4. Each claim is similar: they were in a store and were purchasing accordions according to what each had on. none in contact have been harmed, but we have a strange occurance from a cashier.
"ya i doing my usual work day routine, and then they paid for it. but what i noticed is that they each bought an accordion according to what they had on. seemed awful strange to me, but i guess it works.. like maybe theys having a band and are going for a group, but individual look.. and the strangest part of the whole thing, is midway in paying one of them moom critters looked me in the eye, winked and then whispered "can you please direct me to the nearest... " "nearest what?" "i blacked out, and when i woke up i had a little stamp on my arm that said 'invited'. i didn't know where to find the party, so i guess i'll just wait to see what turns up."
when asked what each had on, the cashier simply said "well.. it kinda matched the accordion, but didn't." our main researchers are considering considering his imput invalid, since the cashier suffers from a cold.
if you have anymore informatoin about these Moon Ticks, please let us know.. the danger is spreading and may reach your area.

Start now:
Moon Ticks: noun. Not alive but a measure. To measure time... moon time that is. Yes... people of this earth don't know that there is some weird cult or religion that chooses to live by revolitions of the moon instead of the sun. They call the increment of time, Moon Ticks... but some have said that due to this following of our biggest satelite, that they have changed. Human no more... big... 6 legs... attaching themselves to bystandards on streets... big blackk gross. ... i...i..... no.. i can't... .. oh t h e p ain ..... No black evil dark things.

once, there was this crazy girl whose name i forgot. she was assigned a project in wildlife biology to research an animal. at first, she was going to do the toco toucan but lack of information forced her to choose a new animal. so then, she decided to research the coyote, but being that the animal was well known, she lost all interest after she had found all 20 pages of research and 20 sources. one night, while talking to an obviously eccentric friend, she learned a bit about the mystery known as the moon tick. being that it was such an unknown creature, she struggled with her research until one day she recieved a 4k email from the eccentric friend of hers. the email was completely sensless. even though it seemed to hold much information, she learned nothing about the moon ticks. after reading this, she worried a great deal about the mental state of her friend. now the puzzel was beginning to piece. now she knew why his sanity fell so hard. she was set to get him help.
I heard someone in the street saying something about the moon ticks, but i later found out it was just "the moon ticks me off". i'm in the process of researching why they don't like the moon. may possible be linked to ticks.

"I don't know about those pesky things that you call moon ticks. I had my first encounter with those vile creatures when i was the jolly ripe age of 13 in my hometown, a few miles north of phoenix. I was getting off of the school bus with my overfed companion joseph. As we were walking home from the bus stop we were confronted by a moving mound of dirt that swelled up over my friend much like that of dust and fleas surrounding pig pen from that classic peanuts comic strip. I freaked out and stomped at the things, but unfortunately i missed every single one. And on top of that i was still wearing my cleats from golf practice so Joseph instantly died of a cleat wound to the temple. The now enraged moon ticks then proceeded to clot together as if they were one entity and formed a giant pair of hands, which with they pulled joseph's accordian from polka band practice out and began to pumell me with not only the hard instrument, but the horrid sounds that also emitted from it. I would never have gotten away if it wasn't for that damn culligan man that drove by as i was trying to make my escape. But i didn't get away unscathed. The truck hit me and i am now reduced to a wheelchair but that's okay I found their weakness. Water softener salts. Since that day i have been on my quest to eliminate them from this planet of their kind. But that is a story for a later email."

"things happen. i wish i payed more attention to things. sometimes that callousness about me bothers me, maybe then tim would still be... "
"i woke up saturday evening, or i guess it'd be after noon, but it was dark. i felt like i was seeing in 4th person. i couldn't think straight. i rolled off my bed onto the floor hoping hitting the dry carpeting would shatter my just woken numbness. it didn't. i dragged my torso over to the bathroom with my arms, and propped myself on the sink by using the toilet as a stool. i soon dipped my face in the cold water i had just filled the sink with. as i pulled my face out i noticed the water was a greenish color. i also realized then i was not an amputee, but was missing my legs. realizing this i fell to the floor, the cold hard tile hit my face like the undreamlike reality that i was trapped in. i must have laid there for an hour, crying about my legs. i didn't even bother to think how my legs could have possibly been taken off. i then struggled over to my bedroom and i noticed a strange figure in the corner. the corner started whispering and then darted out of my window. along with it floated alot of figures, i couldn't really make out their form, but they were dark. i then started screaming. hoping my brother tim would wake up, i didn't stop. after about half an hour i crawled over to his bed to see that he was missing, and all that remained were little traces of electrical tape."

-Moonticks disappear and life returns to normalSetting Small town called Peabody, boring town were everybody knows everybody, Megan lives at 537 Main Jumpway Ave., Peabody Highschool-located in the center of town, Maple Street Mall- Place where everyone hangs out at, Make Out cliff- place were dates meet to do you knowwhat, Police station. It was a Monday night in the small town of Peabody. Almost everyone in the house waspractically asleep except me. For some reason I couldn't fall asleep. I had an extremely busy day! I should be unconcious by now. I got yelled at by my teacher, Ms. Milliams, I got tripped by Nicole Weisenhiemer, the snottiest kid in school, and I think I saw my boyfriend, Jose, kissing another girl! I was fed up. All I needed was some sleep. But now I can't even do that. It was going on 11:45 P.M. when ShaQuita called. "Why the heck are you calling me solate at night!" I asked. "Girl! Do you see all this mess fallin' out the sky!" she replied. "And who you yellin' at!?". " I'm sorry, but I don't usually get calls this late. I've had a bad day." I replied."Girl did you hear what I said! There is some'n coming down out the sky!". And with that last reply she hung up. Probably to go hide or something. So I looked out of my window to see what as all thecommotion about when I saw a blinding light in the sky. It was so bright the night looked like day! The whole town was lit up by the light. I realized that it was a meteor that was falling towards Earth. But more specifically my house! It was on a direct route towards my home. I quickley ran up the stairs, into the main hallway of the bedroom area and screamed for my parents. "Everyone get up! There is a meteor headed straight for us!". But none of them listened to me. They were all fast asleep. I ran into their room and shook them until they were both awake. "There is a meteor comin' straigh for us and if we don't leave we're all going to be crushed!". But it was to late. I could hear the meteor coming closer and closer until it was practicall above our house. "BOOOM!" I heard on the top of our house. I was practically under the bed hiding in fear. My heart stopped beating and I was short of breath. Then, to my surprise, the sound went past our house and into our backyard. There were sparks and fire spewing from the yard that were as high as the top of our roof. I let my parents sleep and ran to the backdoor toinvestigate what happened.
When I opened the backdoor, there was a bright,fluctuating light. Sort of like a very big strobelight. The pulse gradually started to slow down. And then after about a minute it stopped. The meteor had crushed the siding of the house, bringing down the rain gutters. Our medium sized pool was totally annihalated. "Awwww!!!", I screamed. "We just got that pool!". I started walking cautiously towards the area were the light came from. I was being careful as to not trigger anymore accidents. As I started getting closer to the site, I was getting an actual picture of what the meteor looked like. It looked like a big, melting glob of puss. It almost looked like a nest of some sort (like the ones in those Alien movies). There were police sirens, and helicopters all around my house. Took them long enough. I was about to leave the scene of the incident when I heard a crackling sound coming from the meteor. I turned around to see that the meteor was….opening. I couldn't believe my eyes. From the small opening came what seemed like millions of little green bugs. They were pouring out of the meteor like a boiling pot of chicken soup. "Bugs!" I screamed. "Why are bugs coming out of a meteor?". Just then, a group of guys in protective suiting busted through my gate and pushed me away from the site. "Move away from the a premises young lady!" one of them yelled at me. "This is a restricted area. Go into your house until further notified." They started pulling out all this advanced equipment and started sucking up the bugs and debris. They looked like over-sized vacuums. "This is sweet!" I thought to myself. My house has become a "restricted area". This is the most exciting that has happened since my neighbor's cat got stuck in our tree. I got to tell ShaQuita about this!
After a while all the commotion came down and everthing returned to normal The scientist/government agents had left and everthing was back to normal. But they took the meteor with them too! They were talking about how they needed to take samples of the material to find a cure for cancer or something. I would have liked to keep it as a backyard ornament.
