I was doomed. For the first time in my life, I was afraid to sleep by myself at night. While the rest of my family snored away in their ignorant bliss, I alone stayed awake as the sentinel against alien invasion.
Every time a dog barked in the night, I knew the saucers were probing my neighborhood, looking for me. It was pure luck that the spacemen didn't find me that night.... or the next night, or the night after, or any other night that year. But I knew my luck wouldn't hold out forever. |
