I found one once, it said ‘made in china’

Me too. When I was a kid, I found one along the railroad tracks. It was beautiful: bright purple, rectangular in shape, with deep black striations. I knew it had to be from outer space, so I took it to the town’s chief rock hound, who even had his own rock hound business, to help me identify it.

“Meh,” he said, “They’re nothing. They’re everywhere.”

C’mon, man! Who’s he think he’s kidding. I was eleven. I’d been everywhere and they weren’t there. Clearly, he was trying to cheat me.

I don’t know what happened to it over the ensuing 50 years, but it disappeared somehow. I figure the Neptunians came one day and took it back, in the middle of the night. Never seen one like it before or since.
