A gift for Jackson Jones

Jackson Jones' alarm woke him up with a start. He reached over and pushed the button to turn off the alarm. Sitting up he scrubbed at his face, the stubble on his chin scratching his hands.As he sat he remembered the events of the night before after he was heading back from his friends house after playing games all evening as turned to take a short cut through the park he saw a alien creature running towards him with four or five men running after that said creature a few minutes behind.

The creature ran past him and hid behind a tree. He saw the kid and told him to tell them where he was. Jackson should there still and nodded not believing in what he was seeing. The men caught up to him.

"Hey kid, did you see anyone run through here a small person like type." said one of the men.

Jackson nodded and pointed to the opposite way from where the creature was hiding.

"Thanks kid" said the same man.

As they ran in that direction. A few minutes later the alien emerged from behind the tree.

"I am grateful for your saving me from those men. Don't worry I wont harm you, I want to give you something. "

The alien then raised a finger. Jackson started to freeze he thought he should run. The alien say Jackson was worried.

"Don't worry. I am not going to kill you. Just giving you a gift. Come to me and kneel before me." reassured the alien.

Jackson did just that and as he knelt the alien put his finger to Jackson?s head and a bright light appeared and the next thing he knew he was back home in his bed waking up the next day. He couldn?t remember how he got back.

Shaking his head, Jackson Jones stepped out of bed. He showered, shaved, and dressed in his typical black jeans, black socks. He looked at himself in the mirror above his dresser when he was done. He neatly combed his short, black hair. His blue eyes stared back at him.

Once done, he headed downstairs to the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of corn flakes. As he ate, his father and mother walked into the kitchen and his mother began to make her and her husbands breakfasts. Shortly after, his 18 year old younger sister skipped in, a bright smile on her face.
