it had been months of toil on the edge of the swamp pulling together and tieing logs and branches together for a raft. Finally though it was finished. Early the next morning my best friend and i would pole through the swamps on an exploration adventure.
the next morning i told my mother goodbye and gave her a hug, i didn't tell her where i was going, i just told her i would be playing with my friends until late.
i met my friend at the raft a few minutes later. he was there standing on the raft which was floating at the edge of the swamp. we had pushed it into water the day before and tied it with strong piece of rope. my friend looked down at me and spoke 'are you ready" i looked out over the swamp at the rising sun, 'yeah' i said, ' i brought us some lunch my mom packed it.' my friend pointed down to the raft " i brought the poles" i looked down at them, there were two long sturdy wooden poles we would use to propel the raft through the swamp.
i walked over to the rope tieing the raft to the bank, as we cast off i looked back towards the village of our home, then i turned and poled the raft towards an unknown destination.
after hours of poling miles through the swamp, my friend and i stopped to eat the lunch my mom had packed. After we had eaten we decided we should turn back and wait until we had permission to spend a night in the swamp before we go further, it wasn't long though however until everything in the swamp grew quiet. the birds stopped chirping, and even the insects hushed their wine. then i heard it a strange whumph whumph whumph that continued to grow closer. my friend saw it then it had come over the trees at the edge of the swamp, it was flying low over the trees, it had wings like a bird with round circles of energy on the bottom it hoovered over us out about ten feet. the bottom began to open and we ran. we jumped into the swamp on opposite sides of the raft and went different directions. after running and swimming a couple miles i stopped on an island covered in large mossy trees. i stopped and looked behind me i didn't see anything following me so i felt safe. i knew i had to find my friend and the raft so we could make it back to the village but first i would wait. soon though the sun passed low in the sky hurrying my descision to go back and look for my friend, i passed through the swamp as quiet as i could, swimming across areas of water and scurrying across expansions of mud and swamp grass islands and through trees, as i was rising from the swamp onto an isle covered in brush and trees i heard something screech to my left, and as i looked to see what it was a rope fell around my neck lifting me off of my feet. i hung there looking at a creature carrying a pole with a rope and a bird in a cage, it had eyes and a face peering from behind some strange transparent skin casing, and it was covered in thick gray skin. i passed out.
when i awoke i was laying on a cold surface in a bright room, an alien was standing there removing its skin, i could barely breathe, i looked over to my left and saw the face of my friend, at first i was overjoyed then i saw the table beside him with all his vital organs on it. the alien came over then, i was terrified and was crying as other aliens entered the room, the alien put something over my face and everything went dark.
