Your story

Brandon said, "Look, James, today is Friday and a full moon night."

"So?" James looked at him curiously.

"On Fridays, ghosts visit the earth, so be careful."

James looked at his watch. Oh, it was already nine, so he said good night to Brandon, moved out of the restaurant, and was on his way home. He saw a bright light when passing through a farmhouse.

This was a shortcut to his house, but strangely, he did not hear any sounds of barking dogs tonight, which was strange and not normal in this area.

"What’s the matter?" "Are they sleeping?"

Suddenly, he saw a bright, fire-like light in the east. At first, he felt that there was a fire. There was a fiery glow on the leaves, but no, that was not fire. Because that light was different. James was curious, so he started moving towards the light.

He heard a sound, but he could not figure it out. The way it sounded, it made him a little scared now. Although his body was shivering, his mind was taking him in that direction out of curiosity. He didn't want to, but he kept moving forward.

There it was, at a distance of about thirty meters from where he was standing, and now he could look at that object. A giant glass bowl-like object covered with a glass canopy.

James was a little scared as it emitted a pink light that spread over a large area. James had never seen such a strange sight, not even in his dream.

James was wondering, watching with wide eyes, because the object was not still or lifeless, even though it was stationary. He could see a slow vibration, the way a machine vibrates. The object was shaking or vibrating in the same way.

My story

James slowly approached the glass bowl. It was really quiet and is now completely silent. He waited at a secret location for a little time without moving. He was puzzled about what that was. With the lighting and bowl reflection, it was quite gorgeous. About fifteen minutes passed by. Nothing special to see. He then decided to move there after becoming quite curious. So he carefully walked out of the secret spot and toward that.

He wanted to touch and examine the object when he got there. He slowly touched the bowl. That device produced a strange sound. In fear, he looked around. No one was there, but in a second a stranger came out. He was a different kind of creature than a human. Before that, he had never seen a creature of this kind. He guessed that it was an Alien. When the stranger cached his hand, something unusual happened to his body. It was as if a flash of light hit him. He felt that as a kind of surrender to the stranger. He thought of his wife, his children, and his friend Brandon. He then realized that he was unable to take even a single step.

‘Who are you? How can I help you?’ he questioned from the stranger. Then the stranger replied ‘What is this planet? James then replied, "This is earth." Stranger gave a triumphant smile and said ‘Oh what a great happening. This is Earth?, we came here accidentally. We didn’t know that it was Earth. Now we want your help. We are gathering information about the planets in the space. Therefore, we want to completely knowledgeable about the earth. We will hide some devices in your body. You work as usual, but keep in mind not to share this information with anyone on the Earth. Are you in agreement with us? If not, we'll use our ways to destroy you'.

James was aware that if he didn't agree with the stranger, his life would be in danger. Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to live, if he revealed them to anyone. He finally agreed, and the stranger did something to his body. After that, he was permitted to go and told to return the following day at the same time.

He felt lighter than normal when he walked. He ran in front of the mirror as soon as he entered the house. He carefully examined his body to see if there was anything unusual because he was feeling much lighter than usual. But nothing special, it was normal James. He was no longer afraid of anything. Even he didn't tell anything to his wife.

The following day, he went to work and met Brandon, but he didn’t tell anything about that. At the end of the day, he went to meet the stranger. The glass bowl was not there, but within five seconds it came closer to James. After that, the device that was fixed in the body of James was replaced with a new one, and told to come back the following day at the same time.

In the same manner, he had to come for two more days. On the third day, the stranger took his hand and said, "Now you are free." At that moment he got the same experience he felt on the first day. He stopped feeling lighter when his body experienced what felt like lightning. After thanking James, the stranger left with his glass bowl.

He thought he was having a dream. He touched his body to check his sense of reason. He did sense that. He was genuinely shocked. He knew that even if he had told his family or Brandon about this, they would never believed it.

But, he was happy to be able to get back to his regular life. Nevertheless, he decided to tell everyone about this experience, whether they believe it or not.
