ALVORE
She screamed at the sight of the alien. It raised its hands up and told her not to panic. The world became dizzy. It watched her body descend and hit the floor.
The alien used its mind to lift her off the ground & place her on her couch. After what seemed like almost an hour later, she slowly opened her eyes and hit the alien in its face. The alien rubbed its forehead and looked at the human.
Alien: (groans) I guess I had that coming. I apologize for just barging into your home like this, Devin.
Devin: Yeah~eh, how do you know my name? Who are you?
The alien moved its hand toward its wrist and then tapped something on its watch. She watched as the alien changed into a human being.
Devin: (gasps) Zack?
Zack: (smiles & waves) Hey. (chuckles)
Devin: Is this some kind of prank? Wait, this doesn’t make any sense. Are you telling me you’re an alien?
Zack: (nods) Yes, I am.
Devin: But why did you not say anything from the first day that we met.
Zack: I was afraid you’d want nothing to do with me, or that you would think I came to take over this planet. Uh, I blame the movies. Not all aliens want to take over earth, or any other part of the galaxy.
Devin: Um, okay. Well, now that I know you’re an alien, your secret is safe with me. I won’t inform the military. (smiles)
Zack: (smiles) Ha. Heh, they already know that I’m here.
Devin: Oh. Really?
Zack: Yep. Don’t worry. I told them I would not cause any harm to people, or any other life on this earth.
Devin: Humans can learn a lot from you then.
Zack: Hmm, maybe I should start a blog.
Devin: Are you sure about that?
Zack: I will use my human cover. Zack, a local environmentalist and youth activist. One of your friendly neighbors from right next door.
Devin: (laughs) Good luck with that.
Zack: Anyway, let me go start working on it. See you later. (walks to the front door)
Devin shakes her head and chuckles. She wondered if there were other aliens that she knows that are disguised as humans like Zack.
She was glad that Zack was not here to take over the world. Then again she thought what if this was their way of slowly taking over~ by getting to know about the humans peacefully right before killing them, or taking over their world.
Devin got up from the couch and told herself she was thinking too much about this and had nothing to worry about. Maybe it was just her mind cooking up ideas from all the films she had seen over the years about aliens.
