Tom started to panic because he looked down and suddenly realized how dangerous his situation really was. Jack Finney describes in great detail how Tom pursued the yellow piece of paper out of the window, lowered himself carefully towards it, and was finally able to clasp the corner of the paper in his fingers.

Withe a short mystery story in about 80 to 150 words

Evgesh-ka [11]

Explanation:

A Mysterious Night with Aliens & an Unknown Life-Saver…

It was a pleasant midnight. I was sleeping tightly. My sleep was interrupted by a blasting sound. I was alone … My parents were away for a week & I was staying with my Uncle Ron. Since he is deaf, he slept peacefully unaware of the blast. I was totally losing my heart when I realized that there is something mysterious happening in the garden. I didn't get enough time to wake Uncle up & inform him. I grabbed a torch from my cupboard & rushed towards the place from which I heard the loud sound. I used to be a coward till that time. But at that moment, I gained some courage & that was for the first time in my life! I stood motionlessly at the sight of many UFOs firing at Earth from a clear sky. I couldn't believe my eyes! Is this the end of our planet? I screamed for help. But there was no use in doing that! We lived in a lonely place on the hilltop. So there wasn't anyone nearby to help us. Since Uncle Ron was deaf, he slept inside the house unaware of the destruction happening outside. Suddenly I heard a robotic announcement from one of the UFOs. It was as follows:

"Dear inhabitants of Earth,

We are the aliens from Planet Zoono who have come here on Earth to take over it. Goodbye forever to all humans…

Well Earth, Time to Take You On!!!! ..."

This announcement was ended with a fireball from the UFOs hitting the Earth… This shook the earth's surface… I turned white due to fear! I couldn't maintain the courage I gained a few minutes before I came to know what was going on…

I had no more lifelines other than Uncle Ron! I managed to escape from the firing by aliens & reach Uncle Ron who was lying motionlessly on his bed. My heart was broken to find him unconscious. He was hurt by the firing! I was no other option other than to prepare myself for death!

I cried aloud, "Oh God, I'm coming to you!!!" … Suddenly, I heard someone speaking, "Son, I am always with you!" A bright light fell all over the entire place. It was from the sky! As soon as the light came, all the UFOs disappeared & all the destruction caused by them also vanished! My head felt to be heavy & I fainted seeing the mysterious smile of the unknown life-saver! When I regained my consciousness, I was on my bed! My Uncle was making coffee for me! He said he had a nice sleep yesterday!!! He isn't aware of what happened at night!

This story happened 5 years ago. Still, I have two unsolved questions in my mind regarding that mysterious night; 'Was that dream or a true incident?' 'Was the unknown life-saver Lord Almighty?' The mystery remains unwrapped!!!
