The Unexpected Guest

"Sue, guess what? I've bought you a new microwave oven." I tried to comfort her, as I knew she was stressed by too much housework with no advance-cooking device. "Oh Darling! You don't have to do that just for me." "But I want to!" Replied me as soon as I could. She said nothing more to my words but gave me the kiss on my lips twice passionately. So I knew I had succeeded in pleasing her.

When it was late, she asked me to go to bed with her. Silently I shook and followed her upstairs. However, abruptly I heard a bang, real hard one and so loud that I thought would wake the neighbours. I bet she heard it too, of course. I saw her shock and I was really sure about it. I calmed her down and said, "I'll check it out. You just stay in the bedroom. Read my lips, stay in the bedroom!" As I was out of my house, I saw strange hole, a big one in my front yard. I went nearer to make sure what it was and at that moment, something arose. It was big, slimy and looked alike one of the monsters in many movies. It gave me the fright I never wish for. There was nothing more in my mind that time but Sue. So I gave myself a big step backward and ran back into my house, hoping to get her out on time before it did it first.

"HUAARRGHH!" The slimy creature hit me on my back. I fell off to the ground. With all the strength I had, I stood up and ran again into my house - and I did it. "SUE!" I shouted. "Get the hell out of this house! We're in the midst of danger!" As soon as I reached her, I realized that we were trapped with no escape. That particular creature just in front of us, "Anack Simone Prinsa Nsabull..., HUAARRGHH!"

Neighbours stepped outside their house to see what was happening but they were no sooner than I was. Amazed by a big, strange hole at my yard, they knocked the house for us. Unanswered, they decided to call the police. Policemen soon arrived and after a few minutes talking to witnesses, they made a call to somebody. Despite the strangeness, they did nothing but a search party for us when they realized of our missing while evacuating the crowd off the area. They found us at last and from what I'd been informed, the police left when men in black suit came and ordered all civilians to go back into their houses and remain doors and windows locked . What more I knew was that Sue and I was found in the bushes at my backyard a few moments to the arrival of the guys in black.

The next morning we were allowed to go home from the hospital as our health test indicated we were in a top notch and a good rest was the only thing needed. At home, I felt a little worried. Who knows, when will that thing come and strike us again? I was staring at the front yard when I saw two oddities walking toward my house. They were dressed in black with black sunglasses, just the one like in the movie 'Men In Black'. They claimed to be from a confidential bureau. They demanded me as well as Sue to a discussion of a few matters. So I called her down and introduced her the two weirdoes. Imaginatively I thought they were the 'men in black' as if in 'Men In Black' but I didn't mind much about it. What I knew was that they were enquiring a few questions regarding the slimy creature, which we'd seen the night before.

In no time, one of them took something out from his black suit pocket. Physically it looked like a pen but without a point. He told us to look straight at the pen-like rod and flashed a lit from it. He then said, while Sue and I in a still position and I didn't know why, "What you've seen last night wasn't something de facto. Any adventure you two have gone through was only the worst nightmare you ever had and more, you never know us, not even anybody in a black suit." Well, they left but something excited me so much. Despite the flash, I never forget anything but I knew Sue could not remember what happened, something happened that is real. I looked outside and saw that my yard had been fixed up perfectly. They thought they could control anyone's memories whenever and however they want it to be. But they forgot, human's mind is a complex system and I say this because I still remember. I still know what you did.
