Strange Encounter

We carbon based life forms or better known as humans often think we are most intelligent, smart and epitome of evolution. We are the only species capable of stirring the earth.

But we live in a small planet in comparison to our grand solar system and have you ever thought there are so many other galaxies in this oblivion. Most of all we don't even discovered all the mysterious of out beloved planet yet. It's no wonder most of people believe it and this boy was no exception.

One day when Billy was returning home late from his soccer practice as usual, he does on every Tuesday.


He felt something is different in the atmosphere. The path he took today is rather short and passes in between the woods. Indeed the woods are lovely but that day it seemed everything became silent.

The chirping of crickets, the liveliness of trees all were missing. Something is off he thought casually as he was having a hard time not to trip in the dark from all those twigs and stuffs scattered on the ground.

When he was almost close to his house he heard something. A sharp noise was invading his eardrums. Something like beeeeeeeeeeep. He followed the noise for its source and stopped in front of a small ditch.

Then he saw it the whole water body had an pink aura which was emerging from a strange think. It looked like was made of glass, apparently if you put a large glass bowl upside down the thing was exactly same, the only difference was the size. There was movement coming from that large object, it was pumping very faintly but it was, just like a human heart.

As he was about to proceed further when a shocking sensation went through his body, the result made him immobile. After some time a creature started to getting out of the glass looking ship. First it took out one of its slimy tentacles then the whole body covered in some sort of sticky liquid. It then glided towards his direction and stopped one feet away.

Then the next actions of the creature were most astonishing. The creature was running all its tentacles all over him and occasionally pressing a certain part of fingers and palms of Billy.

And Billy to say he was dumbfounded would be an understatement. Abruptly the creature ceased all its movements. Before Billy could think what its nest actions would be the creature said,"Greetings Billy."

"Greetings to Billy."

The sound was ringing in his ear like an alarm. It had an quaint edge into it, clear but sharp at the same time. He had never heard such sound in his short span of life. Wondering if this is a dream Billy rubbed his eyes, pinched his arm.

Next when he opened his eyes again, excepting to find him in his room or even in his way back to home he gasped. The creature was indeed real. As much real as he is, if not more.

Sensing his confusion the strange creature spoke again, this time with an ear to ear grin.
"I expected such reaction from you. It's normal to be surprised if you encountered an alien. That's the term your species use for us. But I would be glad if you refer me as Ang."

The creature or Ang extended a tentacle which changed its shape in some sort of hand. Blank Billy stood there like an idiot and then assuming the creature's motives he took his hand out of his jeans pockets. Their skin touched in a handshake and for some reason Billy's fear was evaporating.

"You must have so many questions like who am I? From where I came? Sorts."

Billy finally found himself brave enough to speak.
"You're an alien?" Though it was a question but one of this rare occasions Billy was fully sure of himself, that the creature there is undoubtedly one.

"As I said I would appreciate it much if you just call me Ang", Ang said, annoyance evident in voice.

Billy: Ookay. ...so Mr.Ang if you don't mind ..I'm just curious what are you doing on Earth?

Ang: Oh sure! Actually It happens sometimes. You know the machines are not reliable in every case. I remember one time I was supposed to go on Mars but ended up in Venus. Haha...

Billy: That's bad.

Ang was continuing but the words were not imprinting in Billy.

Billy's mind was preoccupied with so many questions that it was becoming difficult to process everything in his human brain. It was a whole new experience to him, and possibly the one and only person who came to the knowledge about existence of a new species, like this.

He though, luckily, after some time recovered from his inner thoughts to hear the last part of Ang's self introduction,"...I had good journey of some thousand light years to reach Pluto, before the machines developed a problem with this solar system's magnactic force and my ship crashed here. My planet known as Kranius, and we're a far more intelligent species in every way than you humans."

That sounded unbelievable. Billy thought how this dwarf sized slimy creature, with shape changing tentacles and an odd ship can be intelligent than humans.

As if Ang was reading his mind he smiled, a faint smile. And then asked, "So tell me Billy how many languages do you know?"
Billy's native language was English and he recently started taking French classes for additional, so he gingerly replied one and half.

Ang: I know more than 35,000 different languages, and there is not a language in your solar system which I'm not able to speak. Besides I know other 5023 languages of other Galaxies.

Billy: Thhats greeat-

Ang: Are you a vegetarian?

Billy: No, I also eat meats of some animals like lamb, chicken, turkey and a few.

Ang: I used to eat animals you know, maybe I would have eaten you back then.

Billy: *swallows dryly* What are.. the other... things you do Mr.Ang?

Ang: I'm capable of some abilities like levitation of objects, fast healing, mind reading If I want, the list is rather long.

Billy: Amazing!

Ang: Cool, isn't it. How old are you boy?

Billy: 17 sir...you?

Ang: I'm just 839, but compared to our race I'm young. So don't be amazed.

To say the least Billy already was.

Suddenly Billy heard another beep sound from a watch looking device on the creatures wrists, and Ang frowned. "Seems like I stayed here too long, this forgetfulness will get me in trouble one day. It's time."

Ang then smoothly Ang made way back to the ship, but not before bidding Billy goodbye. He turned and smiled warmly at him, "It was nice to meeting you Billy, see you around. And keep playing your soccer, you're good."

With the the ship lifted up from the ground and hovered for a moment. Then faster then Billy could even blink it was gone. Disappeared into the night sky, like it was never there. But our Billy knew better.
