Loren's Story – Prologue

"Loren!", my mom called me from the kitchen. We had just finished lunch and I was heading out to spend the Saturday afternoon in the woods.

"Yeah?" I stopped and went back to her.

"Be careful and come back for dinner", she told me.

I nodded and left the house. Fortunately the woods were just about five minutes away from our house.

Once I got there I walked straight to my favourite place. It was a large clearing – about 300 feet in one direction and 200 feet in the other – and there was a stream flowing right through it. I could lie there for hours just watching the sky and dreaming.

And that was exactly what I'd planned for today. But after some time I noticed something strange:

There was something up in the sky, not a bird or a plane, something different, something new – and it was moving towards me!

I watched it and when it came closer I could make out that it was – well, at least it looked like – a flying saucer. I mean it looked really just like one of these. It was round, flat and there were lights flashing all around it.

And then it landed right in front of me. Right in the middle of the clearing! I just stood there and stared. This was crazy! A spaceship? Landing in the middle of some random clearing? I had to be dreaming.

Suddenly a door opened and out came a grey creature about 4 feet tall. Its arms were pretty long, as if it could use them to walk , too, but right now it stood on two legs, pretty much like a human. It had huge eyes, which it now focused on me. Oh, and he was holding some kind of weapon.

After looking at me for a moment, it said something, but I didn't understand anything, so I just shook my head and tried to explain: "Sorry, I can't understand you."

But this alien just aimed his weapon straight at me. I saw a red light and then...

everything went black.

Alright, I know this is short, but the other chapters should be longer.

Please tell me if you liked this so far, or if I should stop writing it.
