Imagine A World… INVADED!
 
We prepared for the long journey. The creepy, slimy, unknown creatures took everything from us! Before this happened, the city was living in peace and harmony. I’ll always remember that everyone was happy. No one teased, nobody bullied and no one hurt anyone’s feelings. Everyone was polite and used manners.

Tired and exhausted, everyone was gathering for the meeting (which happens every year) in the middle of the city. It was so crowded that I was squashed as flat as a pancake! As the meeting started, I heard a yawn - one by one more yawns, beginning to make me sleepy as I yawned. In the middle of my creepy, scary, gloomy dream someone woke me up, “Wake up! Wake up!!”

I woke up - the voice was extremely loud. What I saw when I stood up was… TERRIFYING ALIENS!!! Plus - HORRIFYING SPACE SHIPS TOO!!! It is the exact same as my creepy dream. They’re purple, five-eyed and they had hundreds of teeth that scared, horrified and shocked me. I was too scared to speak. In fact, I was about to cry.

The most memorable part was when they started a war. We had grenades, guns, tanks and lots more. But still, I hid undercover - where it’s gloomy, dull and dark. The bombs and tanks and genades echoed in my ears - BOOM! BANG! We tried everything but we were too weak. “We have to get out of this place!” I shouted, but nobody was listening to me - they were too scared too.

Sadly, it's the last time I saw my country. The aliens took over our country! The only places we could go are Macedonia or Turkmenistan. We had to vote. We had 5,493 people. 2,756 people chose Macedonia, 2,737 people chose Turkmenistan. We said goodbye to our country as we sailed off. My heart dropped, my mind felt cold, my body shivered.

I want to see my country already!
