There was a heavy noise of running boots in the room. He tried to stop his breath out of extreme fear, but it seemed that the sound of his breath was all around. “I’ll surely be caught” was his increasing anxiety. Than suddenly he heard the scream of his mother, his heart stopped beating for a moment and tears started rolling down his cheeks. The desire of coming out of the closet became uncontrollable, the scream was fainting now, while some other shouts became louder. He could recognize the voices of his father, brother and sister. ‘So they could not hide themselves’, his nervousness was making him insane. He was perplexed ‘What if they all are killed?’.He was unable to think anything else. Now the silence took over, this strong silence was like one before a storm. Before he could guess more, the closet door opened with a jerk and a piercing flash of light almost blinded his eyes. He felt numbness throughout his body, he wanted to close his eyes to save them from that painful light, or to move his head away from it but he felt that he had lost his command on his own limbs. He became frozen, but saw himself moving like a robot, heading towards the window. His sister was ahead of him. He wanted to stop her but nothing was in his control, not even his own body. He desperately saw her jumping out the window, he himself was the last one to jump. He closed his eyes by the thought of his last moment. But instead of falling, he felt as if he is walking in the air.

It was just a nightmare, even then it would be the worst one, but...alas, it was not. It started in the middle of the night when he was awaken by some beep like interrupting sound. He saw a strange lightning balloon, it was huge and illuminating outside the window. Suddenly his vision became blurry or a thick fogg blocked the view. Than within minutes, he found three of them approaching through the window. His nerves shook by the scream of his sister, who was also awaken during this mysterious activity. He sprung out of his his bed and ran towards her and dragged her and his youngest brother with arm and ran towards the door. Those three jumped in the room through open window, which he clearly remembered to close tightly before sleep.Their faces were covered by a strange mask,they were dressed up like travellers of space. They were holding guns, more like water guns in their hands.It was a quiet hour of night, their parents heard their screams and came running upward to see them. He was not in the position of telling the reality of the event,He shouted “Baba,baba...aliens attacked us...save us..they are coming to catch us”. His brother was sobbing and sister was trembling with fear. His mother had took both in her arms and ran downstairs. She understood the situation more quickly then father. On the last stair he saw backward, those three were chasing on the stairs behind them. Now the father realised the acrosity of situation. He hurriedly took all of them to kitchen and locked the door immediately,they ran into the backyard from the back door of the kitchen and reached to the store room, His father was madly opening the closet doors and hiding each of them in those huge closets. ” Don’t come out or make sound, no matter what happens”. That moment he saw his father for the last time. His tears blurred the vision and door closed.
