It was a beautiful, sunny June day.  The air was light, the breeze was pleasant, and the birds were their songs of joy.  Not a rain cloud in sight for days, the weatherman said. Mr. Fisher liked to take his lunch break outside on days like this, as did several of his co-workers and other men and women who work nearby.  Just as Mr. Fisher was about to dig into his lunch, a loud siren, which sounded like an oncoming locomotive, wailed uncontrollably. It sounded like the town’s tornado alert, but this was hardly tornado weather.  Sometimes this alarm goes off to signify the noon hour, but Mr. Fisher’s watch read “1:22.” Nobody was panicking---yet. The people simply didn’t know what to make of it all. Suddenly, several police cars and fire engines sped past with sirens blaring and lights flashing. Then as Mr. Fisher stared at the police cars and fire engines, the ground started ferociously shaking. The tree across the field was being ripped out of the ground by the vicious shaking. He grabbed his lunch and tried to run, when suddenly the road split in two and sent the police cars and fire engines up into the air. Then everything stopped, cars midair, trees splitting, buildings collapsing. Except for Mr. Fisher, he felt confused as everybody else was frozen and not even breathing. It’s like time has completely stopped. ‘That was it’ he thought. Time has stopped, but why and why isn’t he frozen as the rest of the people are. He ran into the school to call for help. He still wasn’t used to seeing everybody frozen. He noticed none of the lights were on which made it very dark in the hallway, due to the lack of windows. The only light light provided was the light coming from the classroom doorways, from the windows. He went through the cafeteria for a shortcut to the office. As the office appeared to be coming closer through the darkness, he began to run. He barged through the door, and picked up the phone and dialed 9-1-1. Just then did he realise that the phone didn’t have any power. Just then he remembered that he didn’t see the stop lights on at the intersection when he was outside. He ran outside to check the stop lights and stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky in complete horror. What he was seeing was a gigantic alien ship in the air, he noticed millions of little ships coming out of a port on the bottom of the ship. Mr. Fisher had never been so confused in his whole entire life. Then, a missile like spinning object came down from the ship, heading straight for Mr. Fisher. He heard an ear splitting boom. Then everything went completely black. He felt a jolt of electricity from somebody’s touch. He thought to himself ‘oh my god , it was just a dream’. He opened his eyes to see a frantic look on Mrs. Boayer’s face. “Wake up Adam!” Mr. Fisher jolted up and asked what was wrong. “ You have got to see the news, we sent all of the kids home and you fell asleep on your lunch break. Come on, we are all in the staff lounge watching the news.” She grabbed Mr. Fisher’s arm and dragged him into the school, down the halls to the staff lounge. He looked up at the TV screen when he got in there and looked at the screen in complete horror. It showed a giant earthquake on the west coast and an alien invasion, almost exactly what his dream looked like. He thought it was just a dream, or was it?
