That\u2019s was the description for his life so far. But no worry, he was finally going to encounter something special! Let\u2019s see what had happened, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>Today was just another normal, boring day with nothing worthy to be mentioned. Alvin was hanging out with&#8230;&#8230;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\u2026\u2026or more accurately, \u201cwriggling\u2019 down the road. Alvin was very puzzled. He thought, \u2018Those two \u201cmen\u201d are strange. Their posture of walking is so weird\u2026\u2026Maybe they are aliens! If I am the first one to prove that there are aliens around, I will be extremely famous!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The thought of being famous beefed up his courage to look into the case. It didn\u2019t take him so long to catch up with the two strange \u201cmen\u2019 as their \u201cwiggling\u201d posture was so \u201coutstanding\u201d. 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\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201csound\u201d was\u00a0horribly 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\u2019s mind, \u201cWho are you? Why are you following us?\u201d Not waiting for his response, it spoke again, \u201cNow that you\u2019ve found our secret, I guess I\u2019ll have to do away with you now\u2026\u2026\u201d 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&#8217; 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\u2019t breathe, but he just could\u2019t feel any pain\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp!\u201d Alvin opened his eyes. He found himself in his own bedroom, \u2018Jeez! That was scary\u2026\u2026\u2019 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\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Before he died, he remembered the last word the alien told him in his dream\u00a0&#8211; \u2018You can\u2019t escape\u2026\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alvin was just a normal boy, nothing special.
