For my family and my friends who were there through thick and thin. And for my teachers who taught me everything I know today. Thank you all.

From The Stars Above

By Kyler Kelsey

            It was mid day in Winston county, the sun was shinning, birds were chirping, and children were playing in the park. Little did they know of what was happening  in the sky above. This book is not a third person narrative.

Chapter One

            I was sitting on the couch when my mom walked in and said, “Hey your friend Tom called, he said he found something in his barn he wants you to see.”  “Alright I’ll head over there in about five minutes,” I said. I arrived at Tom’s farm around five thirty in the evening. I got out of my heavy duty four by four pickup and walked to Tom’s barn, where he was waiting for me.

            “So what’s this all about Tom?” I asked.

           

“You are not going to believe this. So I was sitting in my room around midnight last night, there was no sound outside but crickets.”

            “Uh-hu.” I said, urging him to go on.

            “So, I went outside with some coffee and I was standing there for about fifteen minutes, when all of a sudden everything went dead quiet.” He said.

            “What happened next?” I asked as we were walking to his barn.

He gestured inside the barn and said. “Take a look for yourself.” I walked into the barn and the first thing I noticed was the big hole in the side of the barn.

            “What the heck happened here?” I asked

            “Look in the crater, you will find your answer.” Said Tom.

            I didn’t notice the giant crater in the floor of the barn. I crept over to the edge of the hole and I noticed, what looked like an escape pod from a ship. “Go get my truck.” I said to Tom as I was handing him my keys, not breaking my stare from the hole. Tom pulls up to the barn in my truck and gets out.

            “so what are we going to do?”

            “we are going to cut it open before the Feds get here.” We got my acetylene torch from my truck and started it up. We were about to start cutting the door to the pod open, when suddenly the door popped off on its own and the barn filled with fog. When the fog had settled there was a young woman in it dressed in battle armor. She began to climb out slowly, then she stood up and she fainted.

            “we… should get her inside. Hide her from the feds. Who knows what they will do to her. For all we know she’s considered an extra- terrestrial being.”

            “What’s that mean?”

             “It means she’s a fricking alien bro.”

            “Oh. Well crap.”

            We picked her up, threw her arms around our shoulders and carried her inside. We set her on the couch and called our friend Fred but we call him rocket, because he’s into that kind of stuff. Next we called Jake (A.K.A) bookworm, Tim (A.K.A) stargazer. And bill, no one really knows why he hangs around us, or who he really is. When the crew arrived, they got out of the “Venture Van” (Bookworm named it).

            “so what’s this all about?” asked stargazer. “Follow me, Ill show you.” I said.

We went to the barn with the crew following. As we were entering the barn, we heard the sound of helicopters in the distance. “Everyone inside NOW!” I yelled, and everyone ran to the house as if the Devil himself was after us.
