One night as I watched the midnight sky I saw several shooting stars. But then I saw something that I did not recognize. It had lights like an airplane, but it was moving much too fast to actually be one. I thought it was strange to see something like that but did not think too much of it. After a bit longer of star gazing I became pretty tired and went back into my house to go to bed. As I changed into my silk pajamas I thought of the strange lights in the sky. UFO’s crossed my mind, but I thought there was no way that could be it. So I climbed into my huge bed, covered up, and fell asleep instantly.
     Around three o’ clock in the morning an odd noise disturbed me. I sat up right away thinking that someone might have broken in. I was terrified to investigate the noise but I knew I had to. I stood up very cautiously and walked through the dark to my closet to retrieve my baseball bat. I then slowly crept down the narrow hallway, searched the living room and kitchen and found nothing. After my short search I figured that I was probably just dreaming that I heard something. That was when I saw a light coming from the back window. I approached the window slowly and as I looked outside I could not believe what I saw. Some kind of ship had landed in my backyard. I stood there in complete shock. I had no idea what I was looking at. Then, suddenly there was an opening in the side of the aircraft, like a door. At first all I could see was a silhouette of the creature standing in the opening. I watched in amazement as it began walking toward me. I did not even realize what was actually happening until it was too late. An extremely bright light shown right on me and blinded me. Although I could not see it, I knew the creature was right in front of the window, I could hear it speaking. But it was not a language I have ever heard. Very shortly after it stopped attempting to communicate with me, the bright light went off and when I opened my eyes I had no idea where I was. I certainly was not in my house any longer. I was sitting in what I thought was an empty room with metal walls and floors. I rubbed my eyes thinking maybe that I was just seeing things, but sure enough I was in some foreign place. I stood up slowly to explore and when I turned around I saw thousands and thousands of people, every single one of them staring straight at me. I approached the strangers and the first man I came to, I asked him where we were. It seemed that all he could say was that I had been abducted. I did not want to believe him, but I did not know what else to think seeing how I was in a strange place and had no reasoning for how I got there.
     Not even five minutes later, I once again saw the strange creature from my backyard and the very bright light and was blinded by it. And I apparently was somehow knocked out. When I awoke I was in a different room. Here, I was chained by my wrists to the wall and had bruises on my legs and arms. I also knew I had a bloody nose; I could taste the blood dripping into my mouth. By this time I was definitely freaking out and became extremely scared. I began screaming for help and thrashing my arms forward trying to get free. Nothing that I did helped.
     As I stood chained to the wall, for the third time I saw the creature and once more the bright light that always blinded me. I was also knocked out for the second time. This time when I came to I did not know what to think. I was not chained to any walls or in a room full of people. But I was back in my bed. It was now daylight and according to my clock, it was two in the afternoon. I thought to myself that everything seemed and felt so real, but it definitely had to be a dream. After much time of thinking I got myself out of bed and went into the kitchen to eat some breakfast. When I reached for a coffee mug from the cabinet, I saw a few small bruises on my arm. I quickly checked my other arm and then my legs. I had bruises everywhere. I could not explain it. If that was a dream then how could I possibly have all of these bruises? I guess there are just some things that cannot be explained.
