I should have put the Iktomi story in this section since it is a modern story, not an old one. I didn’t see this section at the time.

My latest story is Iktomi’s Space Adventure – those of you who like Science Fiction might like this one.

Iktomi’s Space Adventure – by Daniel Bingamon

One day Iktomi was exploring in Europe when he came across the European Space Agency.

With his great curiosity, he decided to see what was going on. Outside the building was a tall

cylindrical object pointing towards the sky and all the wasicu’s were counting and watching this tall

object. Iktomi decided to investigate, so he made himself invisible and passed through the door.

Inside were all kinds of interesting controls, “Mars Lander” written in letters on a plaque.

Well, let’s go to Mars he thought without any thought about how to get back.

Seconds later, the ship takes off and Iktomi’s long trip takes place. The flight was quite boring and

Iktomi found very little to eat on the ship with exception of a few organic materials for experiments.

Finally Iktomi lands on Mars, a dismal rocky place with nothing to eat. “Hin, hin, I should have

thought this out more”. After a long walk Iktomi finds some little rovers, a few modifications and

he’s riding on Mars. The folks at the space center are extremely perplexed, experiments going

wrong, buttons being pushed and now a Mars rover is running all over the surface of Mars like it

was possessed. What will happen next.

Then suddenly a strange blue box marked “Police Box” appears on Mars. “Hello fellow, I’m The

Doctor, what are you doing here? You’re interfering with history on Earth”. Iktomi asks, “What

are you doing in my story – you’re out of place here”. The Doctor is unable to answer and Iktomi

explains his situation and so they get in the box and leave Mars.

This Doctor shows Iktomi how to operate his craft (a big mistake) and Iktomi gives this doctor

the ride of his life. The controls inadverently set on 1965 and suddenly the Doctors box

appears at a power plant in New York. The Doctor throws Iktomi out of his box and Iktomi throws

a wrench at the Doctor and it misses and strikes a power relay. The Doctor’s box disappears and

moments later Iktomi is standing in the dark. Outside the building, lights are going out, cities are

going out. Iktomi quietly left the area and no one ever figured out what tripped the power relay

that put the lights out in New York City.

There was a little problem, Iktomi from 2007 was now living in 1965, eventually he will meet

himself and there is no telling what kind problems that could cause.
