Assignment 21 - Katy Estes

At this very moment, somewhere in the universe there is another world with another civilization of human-like creatures. These human-like creatures are similar to us in many ways: they talk, they eat, they sleep, they have feelings. In fact, the only the thing that separates humans on earth and these human-like creatures somewhere in the universe is that they have more acute feelings. Not only can they express themselves excellently, but they can READ what another person is feeling. It's quite handy, actually.
In this other planet where these human-like emotionally-prone creatures live, there resides a teenage "human-like creature" with a little sister and two parents. Her parents don't understand her. All she wants to do is have a later curfew. I mean, all of her other friends have later curfews, why can't she? But no. Her parents insist, no, demand, that she be back at her dreadfully-lame super-early curfew. So she rolls her eyes, crosses her arms and looks the other way. "What's wrong?" asks her mother. She says nothing. "You're angry with us," she notes using her super emotional powers. The mother stares at her with a compassionate look for a moment or two and hope rises in the teenage girl. This could be it. She might actually win an argument with her parents. Her dad looks curiously over at the mother, what is she doing? He wasn't sure. The teenage girl feels a smirk growing on her lips but she pushes it down.
"Too bad, you have your regular curfew."
Anger builds again.
