Three weeks ago, I'm pretty sure I saw an **alien** in my backyard. When I saw the alien I screamed my lungs out. While I was screaming, the alien said, "Don't be afraid. I am a kind alien. Please let me introduce myself, my name is Kankoona." My first **impulse** was to attack**,** but instead I introduced my self as well. "Hi, my name is Tim... Tim Wertz, where do you come from?" "I come from a planet far, far, away from here in a galaxy called Triangulum," he said. "Wow, well you've landed on earth, in a place called Iowa." "I see," said Kankoona. I tried to read his face but it was, it was... **incomprehensible**. It was not sad, nor mad, nor even happy. "Oh my goodness you're bleeding," I said. As he looked at his arm, I said. "Come inside, I'll help you." There was just one thing that worried me, how my parents were gonna react. As we walked through the door, I saw no one. "Hello, hello is anyone home? I guess not." But, it seems like i spoke to soon, cause just as soon as the alien walked in my mom came out and screamed so loud that she even fainted, and to make matters worse my dad came out saying "What the heck is going on here!?" Then all of a sudden I saw my brother with a riffle. I jumped in front of the alien, but it was to late. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see what had happened. When I opened my eyes there was the alien on the ground, I felt so bad. "What the heck is your problem?" I said. Just as I was about to shoot him with the riffle i heard something like.... like a grunt after eating so much. When I turned around there I saw the alien on his feet like if nothing had happened. "Wh wh what was that" I said "What was what?" said Kankoona "'You just got shot and its like nothing happened" I said "I did, didn't I" he said. "I want an explanation and I want it now" my dad said. "and I'm sure Kankoona will give us one". "Kankoona?" my dad said "It even has a name?" He was able to sit us all down even my mom who was a little dizzy from everything. "I come from a galaxy called Triangulum and in my planet we are all running out of energy and I have been sent to find some in this planet you call earth. My people are dying and if we don't find any we will all die" "And by we you mean your **species** right?" "Pa!" I said "No I'm afraid not" said Kankoona. "We I don't know about you guys but I think we have to help this little green dude" said my brother Tod. "Well we will in the morning, but I think we should all go to sleep its been a hectic 20 minutes" my dad said.

When we all woke up we couldn't believe what had happened. We all thought it was a bad dream, but when we went down stairs there was the Kankoona sitting at the dinning table. My mom made pancakes and eggs with bacon for breakfast, it was all very quiet.
