Strange Planet

6C Tsang Yuen Cheuk

When I got off at Tai Po Market Station, I found myself arriving at a strange planet instead
of a platform. At first I was shocked but then I decided very quickly to just turn around and go
back into the train compartment. Nevertheless, the train was gone when I turned around! I had
no choice but to explore this new planet.
The first creature who captured my attention was an alien with bright green skin. He was
staring at me and whispering something in my ears. To my surprise, the alien spoke English!
I was so scared but I could hardly move. Smiling still, the alien even asked his companions to
come. Just when I was wondering what they would do, I felt a cold wind down my neck and a
shiver went down my spine. The aliens all looked up and ran away. However, I still could not
move! Neither could I move my neck up to see what was happening nor could I get my legs to
follow my desire to hide somewhere in which this cold wind could not reach me.
Suddenly, I felt icy cold fingers on my shoulders. Not one pair, not two, but four. Four pairs
of hands had grabbed my shoulder from the back but I still could not see who they were. I
tried my best to step forward, and fortunately my legs were willing to move by my wishes once
more. At that moment I could feel the cold wind again, and this time I could also hear a bell
going off! I was afraid of what was going to happen, so I closed my eyes. After a minute or so,
I opened my eyes and realized that I was in my bedroom, with my dog breathing on my neck
and my alarm clock going off. I could still feel my heart racing, but luckily it was only a dream.
