Visitors (2001)
“I sneaked out of the house once again.
I rode my bike around town. The farther I rode, the more terrified I became.
I saw people sitting on their front lawns, eating clumps of grass and dirt. People on the street gazed at me with flashing blue eyes.
A group of kids hissed at me as I rode by. They hissed and giggled and rolled on their backs in a puddle of wet mud.
Finally, my legs were shaking too hard to pedal my bike. I climbed off and walked it home, leaning on it for support.
The aliens are... everywhere, I saw. Everywhere.
Somehow they have possessed nearly everyone in town.
Am I all alone now? Am I truly the only one not possessed?
I can’t be, I decided. There are still people like me who can be rescued—if they find out the truth in time.
Who could I talk to? I had no friends left.
Suddenly, I thought of Ms. Crenshaw. The only teacher who never laughed at me about aliens. The only teacher who encouraged me, who was nice to me.
Ms. Crenshaw. Was she my last hope?
On Monday morning, I rode as fast as I could to school.MoreLess
