Alvin, the “Normal” Boy

Alvin was just a normal boy, nothing special. That’s was the description for his life so far. But no worry, he was finally going to encounter something special! Let’s see what had happened, shall we?

Today was just another normal, boring day with nothing worthy to be mentioned. Alvin was hanging out with……himself, as he was normal, and without friends. While he was wandering down the street, his eyes caught something strange. He saw two strange figures walking……or more accurately, “wriggling’ down the road. Alvin was very puzzled. He thought, ‘Those two “men” are strange. Their posture of walking is so weird……Maybe they are aliens! If I am the first one to prove that there are aliens around, I will be extremely famous!”

The thought of being famous beefed up his courage to look into the case. It didn’t take him so long to catch up with the two strange “men’ as their “wiggling” posture was so “outstanding”. He saw them walk into a dark alley. He chased after them, but once he stepped into the shadows, he felt a great pain from the back of his head, and then blacked out…….

When he finally got to his senses, he smelled a foul smell, and then found himself on a platform, being stared at by two strange, terrifying aliens. They looked like octopus, but ten times bigger and taller and each with only one dark-blue eyeball in their empty eye socket. Their so-called “sound” was horribly loud, liked eleven jet engines working at maximum power and two hundred machine guns firing right next to our ears. One of them spoke, and the voice boomed inside Alvin’s mind, “Who are you? Why are you following us?” Not waiting for his response, it spoke again, “Now that you’ve found our secret, I guess I’ll have to do away with you now……” Alvin was horribly frightened. He leant over backwards, but found himself bogged down on the floor. He tried to call for help, but no sound came out from his mouth, then he witnessed the bloody scene: one of the aliens’ hands had turned into an evil-looking, blood-red blade, and stabbed him in his chest, piercing right through his heart. His blood poured everywhere, he couldn’t breathe, but he just could’t feel any pain……

“Help!” Alvin opened his eyes. He found himself in his own bedroom, ‘Jeez! That was scary……’ Not finishing his words, he felt an extreme pain from his chest. He looked downwards, and found the blade that stabbed him in his dream penetrating right through his ribs, and blood was dripping everywhere……..

Before he died, he remembered the last word the alien told him in his dream – ‘You can’t escape……’
