Mum! Today's my birthday! What did you get for me?"
"Uh...My child....don't be in a haste....your dad will be back soon, he's with the presents we got for you"
"Really mum! Did he get me a toy car? Video game? What? What?!"
"Haha haha.. If I tell you, then it won't be a surprise....so be patient okay?"
..........
He lay on the roof looking up at the sky with both hands supporting his head.
He heard all they said. They were in the house on which he lay on.
One would wonder how he heard all they said clearly but for him, it was perfectly normal. Because he could hear from afar. It wasn't that special to him.He stared at the starry night as he sighed.
The night seemed perfect. With the full moon and star. What a scenario.
But it wasn't gonna be that perfect tonight because he could see it coming.
From afar into the sky....he could sight it. This was one of those nights when it came.....and when it did....things would instantly turn ugly.
There it was. He saw it pass, it was it. So fast, so pretty in the night sky but so dangerous. Tonight, again was the night of the comet.
Slowly, he sighed, closing his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened it and it had gone blue.
It was absurd but it was for real! He wasn't a human neither was he an android, but an Alien!
What could an alien be doing here on earth you may ask. But it wasn't as if this guy had any choice.
He was an alien from the planet PLUTO. He had crashed with a comet and crash-landed on earth on that very night of the comet years back and is now trapped on earth.
Coming to this strange land, this mystical being had taken the form of a human. A man, a fine young man who seemed to be in his early twenties.He had black hair and beautiful eyes. One could easily get lost in those eyes for it was indeed mysteriously handsome. we could say it was a Sexy cat eye!
Generally, he was handsome with calm and cold facial expressions and tall.
Disguised as a human, this magical being had roamed the earth looking for a means to go back but it seemed impossible. so for the meantime, he had to stay alive. And to do this he had to kill.
Killing humans every night of the comet as a mystical urge of the comet ( which suddenly began happening often!) and bringing destruction to earth was like his meal. His source of staying alive on this strange land.
FIVE MINUTES LATER..........
The little boy sat on the floor leaning against the sitting room's floor. He was in tears, sobbing quietly in fear.
Before the little boy was his mother, lying helplessly on the floor. Her body color was unpleasantly white for it was lacking blood. Her eyes were wide open in shock but she was already lifeless.
"Mum.Mum....." The boy cried quietly in fear.....
The young man slowly walked further away from the building, his head covered with a hood from his black hoodie top. He faced down both hands in his hoodie's pocket.
He suddenly stopped as he brought out a hand, it was bloody but slowly disappeared and went back to normal.
He sighed as he continued walking until he faded...

Hana sat before the makeup table the next morning applying lipstick.
When she was done with outlining it nicely, she dropped it down and turned to her bed where Sunni lay.
Looking at her golden wristwatch. It was 12:30 pm. She sighed "It's late and she's still sleeping? Did she take any sleeping pill?"
She wasn't going to work so she had stayed late because she was going to visit her parents later in the afternoon.
She got up walking up to her sleeping friend. "Hey! Sunni! Wake up!" She said pulling her legs.
Sunni groaned rolling around in bed" what's it?"
"Get up already! It's afternoon!" She said as Sunni opened her eyes.
"What did you say?" Sunni quickly sat up "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Silly...I tried like a dozen times trying to wake you but you kept threatening to report me to the police or something" Hana snapped.
"Whatever...I guess I won't go in search of work today... it's late" Sunni said.
"You can still go..."
"No...I'm exhausted....it's like you didn't know the tragedy I went through yesterday, didn't I tell you?"
Hana shocked her head "Before I returned from work yesterday...you were already fast asleep so I didn't bother." She said.
"Well sit let me tell you the tale of woe" Sunni urged as Hana sat beside her in bed.
Sunni detailedly narrated what had happened yesterday........
"Wait! Do you mean you met that guy again?! And he's the new inspector general of the Agency?!" Hana asked shocked when she got to the part.
"Yeah! And do you know how I felt? Like poop! Because I had just lost a good chance of joining the team. if only I knew on time and was nice to him"
"Aish....that's bad...but did you bother telling him about joining?" Hana asked as Sunni gave her a cold stare.
"Of course I did! but do you know what he told me?" She asked as Hana shocked her head. "He said that how could a criminally minded person like me who sneaked illegally into a detective van ever be a good detective...he said it was IM-PO-SSI-BLE"
"O my..he's mean," Hana said.
"Yes...but he's the detective general!" Sunni said.
"So what are you gonna do now?" Hana asked "I'd advise you to forget about that agency, there are many good agencies out there! "
Sunni stared at her friend again" Hana..are you my enemy now? How can you say that? I won't give up on that agency....I'll strive even if it means going there and begging that jerk Detective general" Sunni concluded.
Hana sighed " Sunni can I change your mind on this?"
"No I've made up my mind..so I'll get ready today and leave for the Agency! That jerk must acknowledge me!" She jerked out of bed rushing to the bathroom
The young man was still in his black hoodie but his head wasn't covered. He strolled the street by the roadside as he looked around. He watched humans go about their activities with no expression on his face. As he strolled he stopped looking up into the sky. The sun was out and hot. He hated that. Back from where he was from, there was no such sun! But this was earth...and he had to bear the sun. It was logical that the only way of escaping the sun's wrath was going under a shelter but looking ahead, there was no suitable shelter around. He released another frustrated sigh as she strolled thr
With both hands on her hips, Sunni panted softly recovering from the shock. She exhaled looking up at the strange guy who still had his eyes on her. She stood straight looking up at him. This condition made her wonder if she was just too short or was this guy tall! "Hey, what were you thinking?" She asked but the guy said nothing. He and his gaze fixed on her as if he and finally seen the person he was in search of for years. It freaked her out. "Why did you stand in the road? Do you want to die? How can a fine Young man like you die like that....it's just not proper" she said wiping out the imaginary sweat off her forehead. He was still mute, eyes down on her as she paused, meeting his gaze. Suddenly she looked around and up at him. "Eh...well I'd like to stay and have some chit chats but I'm seriously busy right now. Okey? She slowly brought up her hands as she stood on her toes. Her right hand met his h
The night sky was pretty The full moon was also out as the stars filled the sky into a starry night. Yang Sunni was sad. She slowly walked by the roadside on that cold night. The street was a lonely one, but it was a shorter road for her to get to a bus station leading home. But she didn't want to go home just now. She was sad and it was shown on her face. She walked by the street looking up into the night sky as she thought about what had happened hours back -------- "what are you doing here?" Detective Lin had asked about seeing her. "Well...I....actually....I...." She scratched her head nervously. Dave Lin had checked his wristwatch from time to time. He was running late to where he wanted to go and Sunni was delaying him. "If you have nothing important to say...then please may I leave?" "Well, actually I wanna join your agency. The thing is that..
Yang Sunni wasn't awakened the next day by the alarm as usual but by the rash opening of the bedroom's entrance door. Startled, she jerked out of bed looking towards the direction of the door, Hana walked in. Reluctantly, she yawned stretching out herself. "What's up with the slamming??" She asked. Hana seemed to be in a hurry as she dashed into the room and approached her wardrobe. Without words, she opened it and began taking out clothes that she put into the bag she placed aside. Sunni slowly got out of bed as she watched her pack in a hurry. Only a guess would tell her all..." Where are you going?" Hana didn't reply but continued. "Hey...Hana, where you going?" She asked again. With a sigh, she stopped and looked up at Sunni. "It's kind of a long story, but I'll cut it short. Mum and dad who continuously insisted I go on blind dates to find a boyfriend has set up a blind date for me back in town and I have to go
“My name's Sunni, Yang Sunni. And you?" Sunni said trying to escape from the handshake. The Young Man was still holding her hand firmly in a handshake. When she finally escaped from the handshake, she smiled asking again as he paused without giving any answers. He had his eyes on her. Those eyes that were both alluring and murderous, but ignorant Sunni didn't care less. "Don't you have a name?" She asked again as he slowly nodded. She was confused for a while. How could he not have a name? where could he be from? what situation could he be in? All these questions rang in her head but she didn't care much to answer any of them. She simply sighed looking around. "So you don't have a name?" She confirmed as he nodded cluelessly again." Which means I'll have to give you a name. Right?" He went mute still staring at her but she continued. "In that case....what name should I give you?" She thou
Dave Lin had probably worked overtime. This is evident from the time he was still in the office. He took a quick glimpse at his golden wristwatch. It was 9:50 pm. Quite too late for his usual working schedule. But he seemed busy and occupied at the moment. With the files filled up on his table and the computer on before him which he operated from time to time while going through files, he was certainly going through a case. Or rather the case at hand. He took a while to surf a particular file that was bodied with words that only he understood. He seemed lost in it, lost into the words in it and the sense he tried to make out of it while linking ideas. He didn't seem to be in the mood for anything else. His busy scenario was interrupted by a knock on the door. He paused, looking up to the door." Who's there?" He wondered who was still in the agency late at night. "It's me...Lara" The familiar feminine voice came from the oth
"What??" He was a bit too bold to repeat it! " I have no home. So I want to stay here with you. Can I...?" "No!" Sunni snapped even before he ended the words harmoniously. "You certainly can't stay here at my place!" Sunni didn't know what she was feeling right now. Shock? panic? Whatever! The feeling was awkward. What was this guy saying? was he too dumb that he didn't know the implication of what he was spouting out?. "Why?" He asked. "You....are you trying to tease me or what? How can you say that?' "Well, I just wanted to stay here...." "No you can't" She chipped in again "Don't you know it's inappropriate for a boy and a girl to stay together in one room? No, I refuse" "But why is it inappropriate?" He asked She was gonna go insane from his ignorant questions. Who on earth asks such questions?? "it's just inappropriate.. only couples and married ones can do that" Sunni trie
Sunni thought that perhaps if she walked more quickly and not look at him, she would forget that scene. So she walked briskly by the road side without looking back.Lucas was behind her. He wondered why she was walking so fast without any hope of stopping. He too tired to increase his walking pace to see if he would catch up but Sunni seemed to have increased her walking pace.He had to choice but to walk from behind while wondering why she was walking like that.Sunni was still walking but he little brain was still dashing to that scene from that morning. She shocked her head to cast it out but it was Still coming! She was doomed!She was walking so quickly and distractedly that she failed to see the bench before her. She bumped into it with her leg. "Ouch!"She ended up sitting on it while she tried easing the pain from her leg by massaging it.Lucas came to stand before her as she slowly looked up to meet his gaze. She blinked as all her
