It was late in the evening. The sun has set, leaving us in the dark. The moon was poised to shine through the clouds. Everything was normal at home.
Our one and only neighbour had dropped by earlier in the day. It was her daughter's birthday. They brought us a very rich chocolaty dessert. They are always kind to us. We give them homemade treats from our little celebrations and they give us something from their celebrations too.
My mind was disturbed. I was troubled by the thought that something bad was going to happen. I started jotting down my strange thoughts in my night-sky-covered diary in my room upstairs.
There were very unpleasant noises coming from outside. I heard a shrieking sound.
What kind of sound is that? I've never heard anything like it before! My ears are hurting.
I decided to go out on the terrace to get some fresh air and investigate the source of the noise. My home is in a remote location. There was nothing except trees and darkness around us.
As I opened the door to the terrace, I felt something strange was happening out there. I listened to that faint but penetrating sound. Shifted my gaze in that direction. Through the wilderness, I saw a building.
Is that a real building? Have I not noticed this here before? How...?I just stared at it, a little scared and amused at the same time.
Strange walls! Are they made of iron? Such a sophisticated construction!
In the depths of the night, through a window, I noticed a weird figure. It was a misty moonlit night, and I could see their weak silhouettes in the moonlight.
I kept a tight eye on it.
As the fog cleared, a half-human, half-alien figure emerged. A distorted white face with big red eyes. Has hands almost like humans. But the body was covered in shiny and disgusting scales. There were many of them.
It's not human! What are these?
I couldn't believe my eyes. Heart, almost exploded. I didn't know what to do. I froze.
Suddenly, it noticed me. I couldn't breathe for a moment. I dashed back inside my house and shut the door behind me.
