" An Alien for real?" I said to myself while watching the news.
The year was 2012 and finally, America had found proof of other lifeforms on another planet. I was completely perplexed, staring in awe at the picture they had on the screen.
There was a certain darkness within the little creature. He looked almost near human but his pupils were jet black.
" Nick, come look at this," I called to my brother who had recently turned ten.
" Do you know what that is?"
He sat on my lap then shook his head.
" I think it's an alien." I said as my voice started shaking.
" No way." My brother was so obviously excited.
But I admit I was frightened for I had little faith when it came to the " imaginary" world.
But there he was right, before my eyes staring through the screen. I shivered at the thought that he might actually be looking at me.
But that would be impossible. Right?
" Does that mean I don't have to go to school today jenny?" Nick asked with much glee.
I smiled a little and told him, " Sorry dude, you still have to go."
He got up and headed toward his room and I just sat at the TV for hours, wondering what else could exist, what else we missed.
