Blip

Origin

Blip was an alien composed of electrical energy that came to Earth to replenish his strength after he was trapped in space time warp. Blip had used all his strength and energy to escape and headed to Earth to recharge his electric vitality. Blip hid inside these underground caves near a city called Oakville where he was draining the electricity to recharge himself. A local was investigating with an electrometer and found an electric current inside the caves where he discovered the Blip. The alien meant no harm and informed the Earthling the reason he was there. Several residents of Oakville decided to investigate the electrical problem and armed themselves with rifles and a dynamo to reclaim their electric currents. The locals find Blip and starts to attack the alien. His human friend tries to stop the locals and informs them that the alien comes in peace. The residents call him a traitor and begin to beat Blip’s human friend. Blip became enraged and saved the earthman. Blip used the dynamo to fully recharge himself and tells the earthlings that this planet was full of savages that still tolerates violence and physical injury. Blip could have taught the earthlings all his secrets but their ignorance drove him away.
