Things were changing. People were starting to act more and more strange. Some even went missing. We weren’t entirely sure what was going on here. But we intended to find out.

It was an early afternoon when all of this started happening. We had just gotten out of school and headed onto the busses. But then I noticed something strange. I saw a guy with brown short hair laying in the middle of the intersection. He seemed to be about 5 feet 6 inches. He also had brown eyes. It kind of looked like someone from my school. His name is Alex. He was moving his arms up and down. Same with his legs. He must of thought he was doing snow angels. Or so I thought, because that’s what it looked like. I guess I didn’t understand why he was doing that because there wasn’t any snow on the ground yet. But that wasn’t even the strangest part. I remember watching him do the “snow angels,” and then I looked away for at least two seconds. I looked back on him and ‘poof!’ he was gone. How is that even possible for a person to get up that quickly and run away that fast? If you asked me, I would say that isn’t possible.

That day I walked home and everything seemed fine until I got home. I turned on the T.V. and The news was on, because that’s what my parents watch in the morning. But apparently the guy that looked like Alex, that I saw doing the ‘snow angels’ had been reported missing for three days. They said... “The last place he was seen was in Salton City, California.” But how? I just saw him. I swear I did, and how in the world did he get all the way to California from North Carolina in three days? This doesn’t make any sense. I have so many questions. But maybe that wasn’t him. Maybe that was someone else. Maybe he has a twin or an evil clone. Whoever that was, they look just like Alex.

As the day went one I noticed that neither of my parents had tried to connect with me all throughout the day. Which is weird because they always at least ask how my day was, but maybe they were really busy today. But what was most strange is that it was 8:30 at night and neither of them were home... Gee, I hope that they’re okay. It did start raining pretty hard when I got home, hopefully they didn’t get in an accident. It probably won’t be that big of a deal though sometimes they get home late. It happens.

So now it’s 11:30, and neither of them are home still. I’m getting really worried but, I have to keep going. So I guess I should go to bed, so I wont be tired for school tomorrow.

I got to bed, and I swear I have the strangest dream ever. What happened was these aliens came to earth and started making people do strange things. Then made them disappear. The people ended up in their home planet where they would die because they had no oxygen to breathe. This dream was so realistic I thought it was actually happening. They came up to me and asked me if I was ready to die? Or at least that’s what I thought they said. I couldn’t really understand, because they were from a different planet. They didn’t exactly know how to speak good English. But I started running and they made me do...’snow angels...’ Oh no. this can’t be. Could my dream be real? Is it even possible for aliens to be real? I’m really hoping that’s not what is happening here. But if it was just a dream, why was I cold? Why could I smell the sharp cold air? Why did I feel the pain in my lungs when I ran? I couldn’t tell you the answer to that. All I know if that If this is real life, how did I manage to get away from the aliens, but no one else did?

It’s been a full week now, and I still haven’t seen my parents. I’m getting a little concerned that I haven’t heard anything from them. Like did they go on a surprise vacation without me? Whatever it was they’ve been gone for almost two weeks. This thought get put in my head again...What if the dream I had last week was real? What if they’re gone because they were taken by these aliens?
I’m gonna go to my mom’s work and see if she’s there. On my way there I see something strange start to happen. All the houses look exactly the same! I swear, just yesterday these houses were all different colors and different sizes. It’s impossible to fix every house on my street to look exactly the same in just one day. This is really starting to freak me out!
So as soon as I get to my moms work...no one was there. It was dark and silent, and all I could here were my thoughts...”Where is everyone? What happened to all the people? Why is this happening? Who is doing all of this?” All though I couldn’t think straight. I had so many questions in my mind...It was like the silence had been the loudest noise I had ever heard. But it was nothing. It was so quiet that I could hear everything, and that was too much for me too handle.
I walked over to the window and glanced out. Just as I suspected...everyone was gone. There was not one person walking the streets, or in the offices, there was nothing.
It was like the world had just stopped, and I was the only one that had won this fight with whatever is trying conquer us. But at that moment something weird started happening to me. I had this strange urge to start doing snow angels in the middle of the road. So I went outside and laid down in the middle of the road (like it was no big deal) and began doing snow angels. While doing this I looked up into the sky and saw a very bright light shining down on me. Just like I was in the spotlight of a big show. I began hovering over the ground and then “ZAP!” I blasted off of the ground into a space craft. There were a few nice gentlemen that greeted me. But they looked a bit different than what I remember humans looking like...and that’s when I realized they weren’t human. These “things” were not from earth, and I’m pretty sure they weren’t greeting me.
At this moment, I knew I would never walk on earth again.
