The Trumpets of Doom | Humans against the unknown | a sci-fi story

[@pauldavis9387]

I think I would have gone with the Barney song. “I love you. You love me.” That would be enough to cause the enemy to plunge themselves into the nearest star.

[@randybentley2633]

That or Baby Shark...

Good story with an interesting angle. Really good work. Keep it up. 😊

[@kermanp]

Absolutely amazig story❤ And the ending was the cherry on the top 😂

[@mariokajin]

Jingle bells vs trumpets of doom, who’s ever thought of that. 😂

[@darkangelziggy286]

I'm glad it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I thought he was going to Rickroll them 🤦‍♂️

Whistling - I thought of the "Colonel Bogey March": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXObd2udZpJni9k

[@nikhein]

@@ehsnils Nice option whistling-wise, but it doesn't really fit the character ) I mean, the guy is from the long line of classical musicians, composers, and orchestra conductors. The military stuff for him feels bit off ))

[@davidknight3249]

Jingle bells... I thought it was going to be whale song like the sound humpback whales make. Great story.

[@ivokostov2676]

And the last line in the story ... priceless

Hello Niko ,I was listening to a short story SF about the questioning of Human forgiveness after War (for the damn most part...lol) and all that kept going through my mind was Theodore Roosevelt, Speak softly and carry a big stick , Do the best you can with what you got,To educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace ,Dont hit at all if Honorably possible , but never hit soft . You get my point , I wish I could write upon your level , but I write Dittys and poems, some not bad. There is however a story for a writer like you simply in those quotes , be well Niko , perhaps some day I will share a poem with you...

[@snake57]

I LOLd at the end

Musical accompaniment for Vogon poetry

Think about it. When Orcas arrive in an area, great white sharks hear their song and flee for their lives. Maybe the Nelvians have a predator that makes them flee for their lives. Humans better hope they don’t meet it until they advance their technology.

[@nikhein]

Wow, that's a great twist! You really got into it!

[@HFYStories]

Very interesting video

GOLD You've earned my sub

[@nikhein]

Thank you!

[@donchichivagabond1578]

I dont get why jingle bells scared the Nelvians?

[@jayturner3397]

Scare me 😅😂

[@jeffjames4064]

Very imaginative story , and well presented. Was it inspired by the Star Trek movie the voyage home?

[@nikhein]

No. I actually haven't even seen the movie. There was no particular inspiration for this story, just a flight of imagination ))))

[@ynotawoody]

Alfred E. Neuman, as Weismen; “What, me worry?”

[@nikhein]

Lol, he wasn't the inspiration... I think. But now I don't know anymore )

[@ynotawoody]

​@@nikhein to: “nikhein”, My comment was based on the videos description of Weisman, the description given seems to fit Alfred E. Neuman pretty well.

[@bubbafrump74]

huh??? I think I must have heard a different story than everyone else.

[@yuppers54]

I hate to admit it, but I did not recognize the song from that short snippe. What was it?

[@nikhein]

C'mon, bro, Jingle bells, jingle bells...

[@yuppers54]

@@nikhein Thanks. I already got a back of the head slap from a friend for being that dense. lol

[@AGNOSTIC_incomprehensibleXIV]

So-called 'Christmas' is actually very pagan...

[@nikhein]

I know, but I doubt that basically atheist space soldiers of the distant future would really care or even have a clue.

[@AGNOSTIC_incomprehensibleXIV]

​@@nikhein I guess that's a fair point. Maybe if there even are any God believers left at all, they're just deists.

I'm not sure how to rate this. The story was too long and drawn out. Probably at least 10 minutes longer than it needed to be. I certainly appreciated the truly original concept behind it and the great punchline. But it took too much time to get there. I'm still debating with myself if it was worth the slog. If I'd been reading the story, rather than listening to it, I probably would have given up about half way through...

Good thing it's free
