I driving around in my ship, then unfortunately my ship lands in strange land, a primitive planet to say, at first I wanted to go back, but then thought that a little adventure here will not be bad.  Then I started wandering around the land.  At first I didn't know that the land was a community occupied by people because of the primitive nature of that place, I never thought that anyone will want to domicile there.

While wandering around, I became tired and then looked for a safe place to camp there for a  while before continue my surprise adventure.        While I was sleeping, some people came and woke me, at first I thought it was only a dream, but when I woke up, it was real. Strange people with strange faces "I have never seen such primitive people in my entire life or could even imagine that this kind of people and their tradition , believe exist in this 21 century. But wait, do they even know the century we are in ?"       When I open my eyes , I was scared , I thought that forest spirit have come to harm me. But these people were still there starring at me as if I was a creature that fell from the sky. They were half naked, and their sensitive parts were covered with leafs.  " they have lived like this for generations, and yet they don't fall sick or die of cold or from insect bite".     

I was well dress with my jean trouser, a shirt and white canvas. Before I could even stand up on my feet , they all kneel and bow down to me and they said "welcome to our land our creator". Then one of them walk up and said to me " we were told of this day, about the coming of our god, but we didn't know when, how and where it will be, and here you are, please come with us our king and people will be pleased to see you". They carried me up, I couldn't even say anything because already the saw me as their god.  

They took me to meet their king, when I first met the king I was scared because he was very scary ,he was  tall and huge with long hair and breed " I don't think he's ever had a shave all his life". He welcome me as a god to his kingdom and introduce me to his 12 wives and 30 children. Soon after he knelt known before me and thank me (as god) for blessing him with sons ,daughters and peaceful wives, then he also thank me for always protecting their kingdom and for life. " do you know that one year to me is like 1000 years to this people, they don't count years the way we count".   

Soon after the king ordered the natives of the land to offer sacrifices to me, to go into their hut and bring their valuable things and offer unto me, for their god( which was me) has come to them in flesh and blood.   But I was lost in thought " how do I tell this people am not their god, that am here by mistake, but what if they kill me if I say it". So I thought the best answer to a fool is to keep silent.  

But it seems this unplan adventure is turning out to be fun, because for the first time ,I came to experience what it feels like to be god.  After the sacrifices have been offered to me, I was taken to the finest hut in that land and that was were I stayed, with finest men given to me as bodyguards, and servants" of course that is what you get when you are seen as a god" . Everyday people come to pay homage and sacrifice to me.

One day, the king summoned me to his place and gifted me with one of the beautiful girl in the land as a wife, he even ask if I needed more and even added that the girl is a virgin " at this point I want to remain a god so as to keep enjoining this benefit that comes with it, I don't ever want to go back, am getting to love this strange land I found my self ".  The girl was given to me as a wife and she was happy to be married to a god, that night we had sex " a sex with a virgin girl is the best sex ever". The experience was a good one, two years later, here I am with three kids and a wife in a strange land. Then I thought that since am being seen as a god, then i need to act like one ,so I proceed to marry another wives, this time I demanded for two virgin girls to marry and they were given to me without stress. " oh what an experience of being a god in a strange land " I married the two of them and had sex with them the same time ,but in that land it is not done like that, but since am seen as a god, they think that is the way gods do it. 

I keep on doing like that every year. Six years has pass and in the seven year now, I have 10 wives and 15 children in a strange land, what an experience I have here. Now am thinking of going , how will I leave, what will I tell them. I will tell them that I need to return to were I came from and will continue to watch over them from great beyond. " my plan has worked, I have convinced them and they all cried that am going". The children I have there are being seen as a god and given the same respect.  I have eloped back to my true land. What an experience I had there " In a strange land" with strange people.
