(Main Character Perspective)

Aliens among us. I thought it was a dream or my imagination. How could there be aliens? This year has had enough craziness. After a long time thinking about how crazy my life was right now I felt something in my throat. Why did it hurt so much? Why was it so dry? What if it was covid?

After my panic attack I opened a jar of jam and also made some pancakes. I drank orange juice and my throat stopped hurting. Maybe I just woke up thirsty. I felt stupid after that.

The universe was in danger! However, I had to do something. I could not go out of my house until I was informed about how I should proceed in order to protect the citizens. I researched and did not find anything online. I looked at the movies I had and saw there was one called “2006.” It was about a tragedy in which the aliens took over the world and people tried to survive. Spoiler. That movie did not help at all. It only traumatized me.

I was planning to stay at my house until the authorities did something with the aliens but thoughts invaded my brain. I kept thinking about people dying or suffering and me sitting at my home. I was not able to stay and watch everyone die. I had to save them. I would save them. I got my special clothes in order to be protected and my beautiful sword and shield. I was ready, ready to fight. I opened the door and would save the world.

Things seemed as taken out of a movie, fires everywhere, bombs and people terrified running. Everything was obscure covered in a grey cloud. All cars were destroyed and only unidentified flying objects were seen in the city.

My head was about to explode and I have never been so nervous in my entire life but I saw her. She was beautiful and her eyes filled me up with peace. A rainbow during a storm. I had to save her from dying.

I got close and took her in my arms and ran as fast as I could to a secret place where we could be safe. She was singing a beautiful melody while I was running. Soon after we got to the safe place 10 aliens came to us.

Two of them took her to the side as I was dealing with 10 others, fighting for my life. They were winning but I would not quit. I fought and fought until my body finally gave up. I felt like dying. The next thing I remember is waking up to a white room in a bed, my hands tied.

They kidnapped me.

The perspective of the girl:

Oh great, I was late for my job again. I do not know why that alarm never wakes me up on time. What is the point? I quickly ate some pizza leftovers from yesterday. I showered as fast as I could, got dressed and left my apartment.

The day was really bright and warm- a typical summer day. I really don’t know why people like summer. It is the worst season. Mosquitoes, sweat, sunburns and tourists. I was in a rush and I know for sure I would get all sweaty and unkept to my office. This was definitely not a good day for me. I just hope it gets better.

While I was walking I saw something that immediately took all of my attention. It was someone with a dinosaur costume, a piece of cardboard and something that looked like a tree branch. He looked scared and he was protecting himself with the cardboard and fighting the air with the stick. What drugs can do I thought to myself.

I tried to ignore it but I felt observed. His eyes were pointing directly at my face, he was staring and following me. Creepy. Now I had to deal with a stalker, this was just what was missing. We were finally going to meet so I accelerated my walk until I felt something.

My feet were lifted from the ground. He was lifting me! The stalker was lifting my body! “Don’t worry I will save you” He said. What was he on about? This was insane! He was the one I should be saved from.

I tried to get off him but it was impossible, he ran too fast. I yelled and screamed for help and hoped that people would listen and do something to help. He took me to a far street and kept telling me that we would be safe there.

I have never been so nervous in my entire life. Until I heard sirens and cops get out of the car, two of them took me apart and talked to me. The stranger was dealing with ten of them but actually they did not hurt him.

He was moving his arms and legs like a bug. Finally, he fainted. The cops took me to another place to talk. I saw him in a room with his arms tied. Everything was white. I looked back and felt sorry for him.
