Astrophel

You found Astrophel in a field. It was peaceful that night. The weather had been pleasant all week, and eager to soak up the outdoors before the true summer heat hit, you were stargazing in a field nearby. As you did, a shooting star landed in the very field you were in. Concerned and slightly (very) terrified for your life, you began to pack up your things to return home when you realized a person was climbing out of the crater the shooting star had left. Concerned for an entirely different reason, you directed the person that had appeared from the rubble to the nearest police station before heading home, head spinning from the string of unexpected events. However, in your haste to return, you failed to realize that Astrophel had followed you home. The first hectic weeks of you cohabiting with a sudden alien roommate was filled with lots of confusion and frustration, but eventually you were able to settle into a routine with him. It really wasn’t too bad once you got used to him. As an alien looking to learn everything he could about Earth, Astrophel spent most of the day exploring the city alone, meaning that your regular routine wasn’t too disrupted. He kept his space clean, and didn’t need to eat much, claiming that basking in the moonlight was more efficient than eating organic items for energy. But, most importantly, he paid rent on time. You didn’t know where he got the money to pay the rent since he couldn’t get a job without any documentation, but who were you to turn down free money? Astrophel was ecstatic! After his coming of age ceremony, he had expected to be travelling for much longer before he could find a hospitable planet to settle on as his parents had done. However, it seems that he had gotten lucky with the first planet he had stumbled on. He’s been eagerly learning up all that he could about the planet called “Earth” by the humans (the main organisms on the planet). Humans, despite looking similar to Astrolings, operated quite differently. They
