The Enigmatic ‘Onus’ Day
Behind a ice wall guarding the outer edges of the flat Earth, an advanced extraterrestrial civilization grapples with both an insatiable desire for human energy and a lingering sense of guilt for their manipulation of our species. Once a year, these cosmic beings, known as “Onusians,” purportedly engage in a unique tradition to assuage their conscience: the annual “Onus” day, known to humans as Christmas.
These cosmic benefactors aka “Onusians”, according to the long-lost tale, have harnessed the magnetic properties of Earth’s poles to propel their advanced spacecraft. These magnetic highways form a subterranean network, snaking from the southern to the northern hemisphere. On Onus day, a chosen member of their society, referred to as “Santa,” embarks on a global journey, utilizing their teleportation technology to deliver gifts to human households.
The curious name “Onus” day reflects the aliens’ sense of obligation or guilt. It is said that, overwhelmed by remorse for manipulating human civilization for their energy needs, the Onusians allocate a day each year to give back. This day symbolizes a temporary reprieve from their ethically questionable actions and is their way of expressing remorse for the rest of the year.
To select the privileged individual who gets to assume the role of Santa, the Onusians conduct an annual contest. Participants vie to build the maximum number of gifts in a span of 37 days. For the Onusians, this competition is considered a great honor, signifying that the chosen one is temporarily freed from guilt and permitted to indulge in their desires for the upcoming year.
While it’s essential to approach such tales with a healthy dose of skepticism, it’s equally crucial to acknowledge that the universe remains largely uncharted, and our understanding of it is continually evolving. In a cosmos filled with countless unknowns.
