I just wanted to get out of here, get home and soak in the jacuzzi tub. It was one of the only nice things about my studio.
I pursed my lips and changed course. If someone was really following me, I’d be safer in my car where I could lock the doors and drive away than standing around waiting for my knight in shining armor. The wind gusted again, blowing my long strands into my face. It picked up harder now, making it impossible to see through my thick strands. It blew hard enough it made me stumble. My foot shifted to the right as my ankle gave out. The heel snapped, sending me careening to the ground. The blacktop bit into my hands and right knee as I hit. I cursed under my breath and looked at my hands. They had small scuffs but nothing too horrible. My knee was torn up. Blood gushed from a cut and was already dribbling down my leg. “Shit.” I pushed to my feet and narrowly fell over again thanks to my one heel. I kicked off the broken shoe first and then the other, bending down to pick them up before making a beeline for my car. I was almost there. The icy sensation was growing by the second. It didn’t help the temperature had dropped by about twenty degrees in a few seconds. Or maybe that was my imagination. I turned around and walked backward. My heart pounded in my chest and my gaze darted around. Nothing. Maybe I was losing my mind. A shimmer in the black sky caught my eye. It was a fluttering clearish rainbow color almost like someone was blowing a giant bubble in the sky. A giant bubble in the sky. Ana, you’ve officially lost your marbles. The bubble continued to grow and I faltered, watching transfixed. It transformed into a sleek black oblong object that nearly matched the color of the night sky. If I hadn’t seen it appear, I wouldn’t know it was there. I licked my lips as my mouth went dry. This thing didn’t look like anything I’d ever seen before. It looked…alien. No. No way. A spaceship? Ana, you really have lost your marbles. My pulse roared in my ears. I back pedaled to my car, unable to tear my gaze from the ship in the sky. It really was a spaceship. I screamed, dropping my shoes as a bright white light shone down on me like a search light. I stumbled backward, moving as fast as I could, but the light followed me. Spinning on my heel, I dashed for my car while fumbling in my purse for my keys. My hands shook. Tears pricked my eyes. “Help!” I shrieked as an icy chill raced down my spine like I’d been hit by ice. My body froze and my limbs became leaden. My hair stood on end. Weightlessness filled me and my body was thrust upward. I screamed at the top of my lungs. My arms and legs wouldn’t move no matter how hard I tried. The dark night sky vanished and a blinding white light surrounded me. I blinked against it, trying to make out anything. All I saw was white.
