From Redundancy to Reinvention — the Birth of Aractopus

It was 2007 and I had just been made redundant, having worked hard all my life (and played hard) The time had come to make some hard decisions, and look at the bigger picture, I had recruited many people through senior head hunters from all over the world, but now I needed them to find me a role, somewhere special in a senior position, within a week I received a call about a Sales Directors role in the Cayman Island… My journey had begun! The highest salary I had ever earnt, in a great job on a magical island, I had the bug, travel was in my blood….

Over the next 10 Years I lived in 8 different countries, I travelled to over 80 countries, and had an amazing time, the incredible people I worked with, the superb food, the wonderful cultures from around the world, it opened my eyes, it made me think, it made look forward, I’m getting older, do I really want to be doing this for the rest of my life, or is there something else for me?

One day sitting on a beach in Koh Samui, reading the news on my laptop, I suddenly thought, why am I doing this, I could be creative maybe even write a novel? I had plenty of time on my hands, and this would keep me busy, make me think…. The story of Aractopus had begun……

Aractopus

I grew up loving Sc-Fi and Alien films, but to me they always had two similar themes, Humans go out into space, land on a planet and go to war with aliens or aliens come to earth and attack, always based on one or the other, I wated something different, a new idea… My plot was, they were already here, from back in time when dinosaurs ruled the earth!

It’s a well-known fact that there are many creatures on earth that are immortal and can live forever, it must be possible that creatures on different planets across the universe can do the same, my theory is these Aractopus, which were far more advanced than anything on earth back then, they were running out of food on their planet, and developed space globes to go out and find food somewhere else, it was clearly a fact, that the planet with the most food, meat, was clearly on earth… Dinosaurs!

When they found Earth, they smashed onto the planet, unaware that over 70% was covered in water, their space pods crashed through the water and fell deep into the soil, ironically one smashed into the Gulf of Mexico, causing a mass global tidal wave, wiping out the reason they came here, killing all the dinosaurs…. It would be over 66 million years later that mankind was to find out!

Sixty-five million years ago the most powerful predators to

walk planet Earth were wiped out. History believed a single

meteorite crashed into central America, creating a catastrophe

on a worldwide scale. Mass destruction swept the planet, and

for centuries to come planet Earth was plunged into a dark and

barren place resulting in an ice age which virtually destroyed all life.

However… History was wrong, so very wrong!
