The alien turned around a full circle, grinning and nodding non-stop and looked at me

straight in the eyes. Two pinpoints of light like keen daggers pierced mine. He then did to me

though he were a spirit, and swish, disappeared into the spacecraft. More lights. More

beeps. More crackling sounds. A big whoosh and I was left there on my house front, alone
with my thoughts and thoroughly perplexed . A terrible loneliness filled my heart and I hated
to see my alien go!

I wandered into my house like a zombie and looked out of the window to see a tiny spot
twirl and vanish like it always did in my books. I fell in a faint.

I slept a fitful sleep and woke up in a perplexed : very puzzled
hospital bed. My nurse gave me my evade : lose

Yes, it was eight in the morning and here I was pining away for my alien in my dreams!
