Millie, An Alien

The cool rays of moon peeped through the gap between thin strips of coconut leaves. Standing in their terrace, Mini stood watching the moving clouds in the sky. Gracefully the clouds sailed through the sky. Gazing continuously at the full moon made her feel calm at heart and it also helped her nerves to settle down with a rhythm.

Suddenly a ray of light started to descend from the sky. The thin ray of light dispersed slowly and touched the top of a coconut tree. The coconut leaves slowly moved in the late night breeze and sent the light in every direction. The pale coloured light rays slowly deepened to illuminating green light which struck the coconut tree and started to move towards Mini.

The dazzling brightness of the light made her eyes blink for a while. The bright light touched her feet. Something moved in the green light and reached her. As if walking through a long corridor, a small doll like figure walked out of the green light. In the darkness, she could not make it out how it looked like.

Mini stooped down to see clearly how the little figure looked like. The first thing that Mini noticed is the strong smell that came from it. The aroma roused and spread all around her. Mini felt to be standing inside a circle of hypnotic power. Her skin started to breathe out tiny drops of sweat and her palms became wet with sweat. She wanted to open her mouth and speak to the little alien like creature. Her tongue struggled hard to move but she could not open her mouth.

Millie, the alien, looked at Mini. Its eyes behind the mask sent a vibration throughout her body. Mini felt hot and cold at the same time, and a strange feeling went down her spine. 

While Mini struggled with such a sensation, chilled spray of water splashed at her face and dribbled down her chin. Mini suddenly came into senses. The overflowing water from the water tank has helped her to come out of the trance and break the magic spell from the alien. Within seconds the green light started to ascend toward the sky and disappeared from sight. Mini slowly tried to recollect what happened to her. But, she could not do so. Her memory cells wiped clean of whatever that has happened a few minutes ago made her look blank at the wide blue sky.
