It was a perfect lift off. The house started to shake. It went up and up until all there was a really bright light. I looked out the window and there was the Sun. Surprisingly, I realized I was in outer space. I looked out the window but this time I saw the moon, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and a UFO. All of a sudden I felt that I was starting to float. A few minutes later I felt a strong push. I looked out the window slowly and I saw something. I heard laughing within the house. I looked behind me, nothing. I heard it again but this time I saw a glimpse of it. I looked, nothing. I felt something touch my back. I looked. There it was green as green as a swamp, the mysterious thing just stared at me quietly, very quietly in the darkness. It stepped closer and closer. I ran to hide in the closet. I locked the door. I heard the sound even louder. I thought to myself, "Are there more out there?" Fortunately, there wasn't. All of a sudden I felt a rumbling. I opened the door, but the Aliens were gone. Strangely, I felt that we were going down faster and faster. I tried to look out the window but I couldn't because I slammed to the ceiling. I felt a big thud. I thought I might be on the ground. I ran out the door and there were my parents. They asked me, "How was your evening?" I said, "Good." I still didn't tell them that I went into space because I knew they wouldn't believe me. I looked next door and uh-oh, the other house was gone!
