Alien Invasion
Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Ethan slowly opened one of his eyes. Who was bouncing on his bed?
Between
the crack of his eyelids, Ethan saw a little green figure jumping on his bed. Ethan closed his
eye. There is no way a green figure could be jumping on his bed. Ethan opened
both of his eyes this
time and saw a green figure smiling at him.
“Onal;xnc,” said the green creature.
Oh, wow! This is going to be a tough one to believe, thought Ethan to himself.
He smiled and closed
his eyes again. He needed time to think about this. Just then, he heard footsteps coming down the hall.
It sounded like his mom.
“Ethan? What are you doing?
Settle down in there,” called his mom as she passed.
“Mom, it’s not me!” yelled Ethan.
“Right, Ethan,” answered Mom.
“I knew it,” said Ethan. “Mom, come here!”
“Just a minute!” called Mom.
There was a look of panic on the face of the green creature. It seemed to sense something bad was
going to happen. It hopped off the bed and scurried over to the closet door.
A
few moments later, Ethan’s mom came through the door.
“Okay, Ethan, let’s hear your story,” said Mom.
“Alright, here’s my story: I woke up and there
was a little green creature, sort of like an alien,
sitting
right on my bed,” explained Ethan.
“Right,” said Mom.
“You think I’m crazy, but look inside the closet and you will see proof!” said Ethan. Ethan’s mom
walked over to the closet and opened the door.
