Fiction Bedtime Science Fiction

I woke up not knowing what would happen in the next hour. I took for granted that in just a short while, My life would change inevitably. For the good or bad you ask? Well that's for you to decide.


This year black Friday was super interesting and I would like to tell you the story of what happened.


If you do not like crazy, random and bizarre you are not in the right place.


Because this story is exactly that.

story told from the perspective of Sister of Ivan named Willow.


My brother Ivan and I were going on a trip to see uncle chip and aunt Amy. We had to go via train because none of moms cars were working and we couldn't drive by ourselves. We are only 10 and 12 after all. My brother is my watcher, ever since we were babies my brother has been watching out for me and guiding and protecting me. we seem to never come to harm when we are in each others presence.

Friday Train ride proved to be, well BUSY

People all seemed to have an aggressive and mean attitude towards EVERYONE. I could hear people arguing and bickering in all directions, on a train. I am pretty sure I have never heard fights break on trains before this trip.

I wanted to be plucked from this train ride so badly on account of I could feel this negative energy surging through the train and permeating everyone's aura. The light of auras around me simply were unreadable for me all of a sudden. Ever since I was born I just remember being able to see "orbs of light" around people. Later I discovered those are called auras and they are the energy and life force around humans.

Suddenly the train stops fast and I hear it screeching to a halt throughout the whole middle front and back of the train. I felt my stomach cringe. My eyes grow wide with fear. I was wondering what was happening when a dark/light orb dashed into the train and in front of everyone and then immediately turned into a person of light.

This person was made of complete light. Everything was white no darkness at all, everything was illuminated. Even the clouds near this being started to shine. All of a sudden the train lurches forward into drive again and we are on our way again.

I am still shocked when this humanly light morphs and turns into a bird. A rare sort of bird because I have NEVER seen a bird like this.


This bird seemed to be a neutral force...because I could no longer feel the negative energy but I could also no longer feel the positive energy I worked so hard to cultivate in the last 3 hours we were on the train. The bird like light being just stood there staring, and suddenly I just heard things coming through my mind, soon I realized these beings did not talk at all, so I heard these things because they are telepathic beings.


I just listened now that I knew it was what I was supposed to do. At this point I forgot it was black Friday, I forgot if I was even on earth. I forgot my name. Just for a few seconds but wow. My life was changing in 3 short hours.


As I listened I heard something concerning. This sentient rare bird came in this form as not to confuse me. Right Ok. Like I am not confused already....


The being kept communicating telepathically with me and pleaded with me to understand that they were sent down to offer the selling of souls...but for a limited time selling your soul will be a good thing. The random bird ended his bizarre thought with …oh and I'm Satan, Yep I am the devil.


This being went on to explain some more weird stuff to me


IF I wanted to sell my soul I would have to go through a certain amount of tests and then If I pass it would be a good thing forever. If I sold my soul it would be completely be like surrendering to God or letting the abundance of light encompass my life. This is ONLY if I agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the contract though.


Curious I kept listening to the messages being sent to my brain waves with ease.


Want to sell your soul? Oh do not worry its for good this time and you can show off and be a Terminator owl! There are Terms and conditions you must follow though. If not you could be terminated effective immediately by an owl.


  1. Agree to change your name to The Terminator Owl, officially with the government, answer no questions
  2. Go to local malls, churches, restaurants etc. and dress in an owl costume and shout, I am the owl terminator while at the same time eating a pizza.
  3. Every month restock the Terminator Owl attire by pitching in just a few bucks for the costumes that bring every terminator Owl great comfort and joy. Limited while supplies last. Head terminator owls can by 2 costumes for 50 dollars. Beginner Owls can pay for 4 costumes for 50 dollars ,we understand new owls need more room to grow!
  4. Be reminded you are a Terminator owl and your main objective is to terminate negativity in any shape, size or form. You spend every waking hour protecting humanity. This is why you sell your soul on black Friday-- so you along with your Terminator Owl teammates fight fire with fire force against force dark against light.
  5. be willing to pass a background test, to see if you are dark or light

I woke up and started at the ceiling. The being was gone. Had I been dreaming? Did my imagination just think all of that Up while I was sitting here all bored today. I looked at the clock and it was 4:12am we were still on the train but I couldn't see any light bird figure anywhere. I became defeated in my head, I was excited that I was going to be able to fight against evil and defend my honor and my friends and family. Finally I had a purpose. I knew what I wanted and then it just disappears? I was sad. down and feeling lost.

I walk to the window and look out I see the cloud above the train is in the shape of a rare bird. A feeling of familiarity washes over me and I randomly think....


Maybe it wasn't a dream.Premium AI Image | araffe shaped like an owl in the sky with clouds  generative ai
