Alien dog
When I went outside to visit Ozzie in the morning, to feed him, he seemed strange. Instead of still laying in bed, like every other morning, he was running around the yard. When he noticed me he didn’t come, like normal, he just continued on.
“Ozzie! Here boy!” I called for him. He did stop for a moment to look at me as if I were crazy then continued on. Shaking my head, I poured his food into his bowl and topped up his water. That seemed to have done it. He came over and sniffed his breakfast then gave me another look to say I was crazy.
I sat down on the deck and looked at him, that’s when it came to me. This wasn’t my dog! Then based on my knowledge of sci-fi and outer space, it occurred to me this was an alien who had came to earth to research us. It was the only logical answer. He, who ever he was, came to sit by me.
“I know your game alien dog. Now, tell me what you’ve done with Ozzie!” I demanded of the creature. That’s when my mother came out, terrible timing. I was sure it was going to tell me something.
“Katrina, you need to get dressed and have something to eat! We’re going to be late!”
“But mum I think Ozzie has been replaced by an alien” I whispered to her. Her expression soften slightly as she lead me gently inside
“Honey, I’m sure Ozzie is still Ozzie. Why would an alien want to come to us?”
“Because-” I began then realised I didn’t know the answer quite yet, even if I did she wouldn’t believe me. She seemed to take my silence as an acknowledgement of her being right or something like that, and again told me to get dressed. I went even though I wouldn’t mind much if we where late for the family reunion. But when we got back I’d confront that alien and get Ozzie back!
