MY DREAM

I was sleeping peacefully in my bedroom last Wednesday night although my brother said that I was snoring. Normally I never wake up at night but that night something strange woke me up. Suddenly I saw a flash of light and there was a strong smell of popcorn. I sat up straight in bed. At the end of my bed there was a short green slimy creature, an alien. It was smiling and staring at me with one enormous eye. The creature was standing in the darkness with my brother but Justin wasn’t smiling and his eyes were glowing. “Tom’’, said my brother Justin. His voice was different and he sounded like a robot. “We were waiting for you to wake up. It is time.” he said. “What?” I stammered. I wasn’t feeling good. Justin was looking at the creature now. My hands were shaking and my heart was beating fast in my chest. “Justin,” I said, “What’s going on?”

After that I saw the alien sitting on my head and poking at my ears with its long hairy antenna. “Poor signal,” it said. “What were you doing all day, Tom?”. “I was playing computer games with my friends,” I said. The alien jumped down onto the bed and started crying. “Only one of you can come with me,” it said through its tears, “Goodbye Tom.” It was pointing a huge laser gun at me. What was happening? Justin was dancing wildly around the bedroom. Lights were flashing and now the creature was pulling the trigger on the gun. “Wake up, Tom!” My brother was shaking me. “You were having a nightmare,” he said. I was happy that it was just a dream. But as my brother turned his face away from me, I was sure that her eyes were glowing just a little.
