YOURS

Whoever said that Aliens don't exist clearly has never heard my story. I mean- I thought the same thing. It was straight up bizarre. Here's my account of what happened. 

PART ONE: 

I sat in my bed one night, reading my favorite book. It was very late. Something didn't feel right in my room. It was something magical. I was always glancing out of my open window. I didn't know why it was happening. I couldn't prevent it. Eventually, I became so tired I put my book down. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep. At some point in this crazy night, I woke up. Something felt wrong. I realized I was sitting in my beanbag chair. I remembered falling asleep in my bed. "How did I get here?" I wondered. I lived alone, so I was a bit concerned. I noticed a book was on my lap. It was a book I didn't even know that I owned. It seemed very old. It was titled "The Other Kind." I noticed that there was a bookmark in it. I opened the book and turned to the page with the bookmark. There was strange writing inscribed on the bookmark that said: "Yours." The page consisted of what appeared to be a fluffy ball with cartoonish eyes and a mouth. I assumed that it was a type of alien. I was very confused. I decided it would be best to try and fall asleep. 

PART TWO: 

I woke up that morning on the couch in my family room. I was extremely afraid and confused. "What the heck!?" I thought. I got up and decided to look around the house. As I was searching for any clues as to what was going on, I had a strange feeling. My gut told me to check my front porch. I was very confused, but I decided to follow my intuition. Sure enough, there was something outside. It was a strange box. It looked as though it was made from some type of sturdy metal. Presumably platinum. I quickly took it up to my room, where I opened it. As I unlatched it, I noticed a strange vibrating in the box. I was very confused. Finally, I got it open. I was in shock of what was inside. Wonder of wonders, there was the same alien that was in the book I found. There was also a bizarre note in the same handwriting as the writing on the bookmark. 

The note read:

Hello there. My name is Edward Howie, I was a scientist at the famous Area 51. We recently discovered a new galaxy. There was nothing left in this galaxy except for this one alien. We took it back to our lab and began studying it. This was the top-secret project known as "Project Zenith." This alien holds power to charge dangerous weapons in its blood. This is why my lab partners wanted to kill it. I objected to this. One night, I decided to steal it. I have looked far and wide for someone to take care of it. I have decided that you are the best person I could choose for this job. Please, feed this alien with proper nutrition and make sure you don't tell anyone.

Dang! That explained a lot. I now knew why everything was going on. I was very nervous about caring for this sweet little alien. 

PART THREE: 

I carefully picked the alien up and took him downstairs. I had no idea what I was supposed to feed him. He was bigger than I expected. He was the size of a square tissue box. Suddenly, he started vibrating. Then, he floated the rest of the way downstairs. I was in absolute awe. He was a marvelous creature. As we both made our way downstairs, I was very excited. After graduating from college, I was very lonely. When we made it downstairs, I had him sit at my table as I thought of what to feed him. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spoke. "Food, please," he said. Phew, I was very nervous that I wouldn't be able to understand him. I proceeded to cook him my favorite dish, sushi! I was a bit worried about how he would eat. This adorable ball of fluff didn't have any arms! Once it was ready, I put it in front of him and hoped he had a way of eating it. He looked at it for a few seconds. Then, it began floating towards him. He proceeded to eat the entire thing! "Thank you, earthling, very kind!" he said. I smiled. "More, please!" he said. Oh no! I didn't have any more ingredients for sushi left. I decided to take him to the local sushi restaurant. I told him all about the restaurant. He seemed to enjoy my stories. I put him in my bag, and we headed off to the sushi restaurant. He ended up buying fifty California rolls! Thankfully, my job as a web designer got me enough money to afford to care for him. The next day, I took him in my purse to work. After work, I would take him to the movie theater to watch movies. One night, everything changed. It was the saddest night of my life…

PART FOUR: We were chilling out playing board games when I heard a loud banging at the door. I looked through the peep-hole of the door and saw that there were 5 men in black armor with weapons. "FBI! Open the door!" they shouted. I knew they were coming for my alien, my best friend. I grabbed him, ran out the side of my house, and didn't stop running until I reached a mountain that wasn't too far from my home. There were legends of aliens landing on the hill every full moon and looking for something. I had no clue what they would be looking for. Suddenly, I realized they were probably looking for my alien. There must be more of his species that were never found! I sat on the very top of the mountain and waited. It was a full moon! After waiting for hours, I began to have doubts. My alien was on my lap, asleep. Suddenly, I noticed a giant light in the sky. It was a flying saucer! I never knew they existed! As it landed, I became afraid. "What if they were angry?" I thought. Finally, it landed, and two small aliens emerged from it. They were both the same species as my alien. They were a bit bigger than him. He awoke as they came forward. The look of joy on their faces warmed me. "Goodbye, my friend. I will miss you!" I said. "Me miss you too!" he said. With that, he floated into the ship, and they were off. I stayed on the mountain for a while. Then, I went back to my home. Hoping the FBI was gone.

PART FIVE:

All of that was 70 years ago. I continued on with my life and became the founder of a very famous movie studio. Something was always missing, I greatly missed my alien. Even if I only had him for a month, my home always felt like something was missing. One day, I was sitting on the balcony of my mansion. I could not fall asleep. I looked out to the starry night sky. I noticed an extraordinary yet familiar light in the sky. Could it be!? Yes, it was my alien! He was back. As the saucer landed, I began to feel very excited. Finally, my alien emerged from the flying saucer. He flew at me, and I hugged him. "I'm yours forever!" Joy flooded through me. Finally, he was back, forever…
