Kingdom of Crystal

The night was dark and stormy. I was walking to the Dana Mall. Dark clouds were everywhere and lighting flashed every second. It felt like the end of the world. I wasn’t scared or anything but it felt weird. It was like a boy in the middle of an empty city. There were no cars passing by or anybody outside. Suddenly rain started pouring down. It kept getting harder every second. Quickly I went under a tree. I looked up and saw a shiny crystal. It was odd to see something like this in a tree. First I examined it. It was an oval shaped crystal with a bright light in the center. Then I picked it up from the leaf and touched it. To my surprise, the crystal was warm! I looked at the light. Then I kept staring at it and I felt dizzy. There were stars everywhere and then it was all darkness.

I was awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps. I sat up and found I was in an enormous room. I realized at once, this was another world. I just couldn’t believe it! It was very different from our Earth. Everything was blue or shiny blue. Then suddenly a door opened that I didn’t noticed before. There were four large, weird looking aliens that were armed. Just as they saw me getting up, they pointed there guns at me. They were like us, human beings, but bigger, and their heads were different looking. I started saying anything to defend myself and somehow they understood. They motioned me to get up and start walking. It was very beautiful outside. Everything was shiny and looked as though as it was real. We walked for about five minutes. There were many twists and turns made, and finally we reached this enormous door. There were two guards at each side of the door. Then they opened the door. I realized this was their king. We all walked forward and then all the guards bended on their knees. From the curtains, arose an alien that wore lots of shiny clothes. He said something in his language and the guards went outside. Then they closed the door. The king looked at me like it was the first time he had seen a human being. Then he said in English, “welcome to the kingdom of crystal.” I just kept staring at him and said nothing. “You don’t talk human?” “I want to go back to Earth.” “You don’t like it here.” “I do, but I am not sure if it’s safe here.” “Please let me return to Earth.” “You can go back to Earth under one condition.” “What is it?” “Tell me about your daily life.” I told him everything I do daily, what I do in school and what I have done recently.” He looked at me and smiled. “You can have one of my crystals”, he said. I looked at him as though as he was joking with me. Then he opened a box and took one shiny crystal out and handed it to me. It was very beautiful. I didn’t know what to say except for “thank you.” I looked at the light and I felt dizzy. There were stars everywhere and then it was all darkness. I was back under the tree. The dark and stormy night was gone. There was a clear dark sky. I looked at the crystal and the shiny light was not there. I started thinking about what I would do with the crystal. I could have sold it and become a multi-millionaire or showed it to my friends. But I decided to keep it and not show it to anyone. What would you do?
