What does the word alien mean? Is it a creature that doesn’t come from Earth or is it non-human? Well I think it’s just a name like everything else. When you hear the word alien you probably picture in your head a green creature with an antenna, one eye, and six arms, and those creatures probably exist but, I’m pretty sure that all aliens don’t look like that. In fact I know they don’t all look like that because I’m an alien.
My name is Cora, Cora Lener. I come from a realm much different than Earth and I’ll assure you that everyone on my planet has only two arms, two eyes, and no antennas. Also we’re not green. You might be thinking, well, then what makes us aliens and the answer to that is, everyone from my realm has a gift. But not the kind of gift you get at christmas. It’s a kind of power that your just born with. Mine is the gift of the mind. What that means is, I can control things with my mind and even go into other people’s minds. It’s pretty cool if I do say so myself, but this story isn’t about my super cool powers; this is the story of how at age 13, my perfectly normal life turned upside down in a matter of days.
