Alien

I was woken up by a strange sound. I saw something moving by my window. I was terrified and ran downstairs. I found my mom in the kitchen, getting my brother ready for school.

“Mom, did you hear anything? I, uh, I thought I saw an alien.”

“Are you all right? Just a dream!” Mom answered.

Then I went back to my room. As I walked to the window, I cried. I saw a little alien, no more than three feet tall, with big and black eyes. It tried to run between my legs and escape through the window. Although I was scared, for some reason, I squeezed my legs together in time to catch it. It took out something and hurt me. I felt a terrible sense of nothingness and fainted. Then I woke up.

At first, I could hardly move. I wasn’t sure whether I had had a dream or not. I pulled myself out of the bed and walked downstairs. I saw my mom in the kitchen. She was really getting my brother ready for school, wearing her pink clothes. Then I realized it was just a dream because in my dream she was wearing her work clothes.

From then on, I always dreamt about aliens and all the dreams felt so real. At that time, I really thought mybe I had some kind of relationship with aliens. About two months later, I stopped having such dreams. Later I realized that I used to have those dreams because I always read books or watched TV programs about aliens before I fell asleep.
