Were my eyes playing tricks on me? I stifled a gasp as the spacecraft landed before me. My stomach tightened.

The time was during one of my sleepless nights, thinking about my endless works. I was counting the sheep when the incident happened. In a blink of an eye, a beam of bright light went pass the environment. My eyes went blur. To my disbelief, a saw a human-like figure descending from the opening metal gates of the spacecraft. It was a girl. I thought of going near the spacecraft and didnt want to risk my life for curiosity. So, I decided to stay put and tried to count the sheep again. Monday was as usual. I had huge piles of work to do and plus an interview for choosing my own secretary. Finally, my sleepless nights were going to be over. Several hours passed and a couple of young ladies started appearing in the office. I was peeking the reception to take a glance at my future secretary. There, I saw a similar figure. But the memory was vague. It was as if I saw her in my dreams. The only thing I was sure of was whenever I saw her, my heart fluttered. Something was triggering inside my heart. It was the time to interview the ladies. The apple of my eyes introduced her name as Amy. During the interview, I could feel myself falling for her even more. Her blue eyes, her sweet smile, her thin and slender body and her long wavy hair were enough to do the trick. Despite of her little job experience, she had all the qualifications. I might be biased but I decided to give the job to her as I wanted to know her a bit more. She started working in my office starting from the week after the interview and she was a very efficient worker. After a couple of months, I became an insomniac again. Not because of work burden this time but because of an angel who descended from the heavenly sky. I wanted to ask her out for dinner but I didnt dare. Partly because this was my first time and partly because of the uncertainty of her answer. I was afraid to be rejected. Out of nowhere, my glance fell upon the place that the spacecraft landed once upon a time. There was nothing there. So, maybe I was seeing things. Out of blue, there was this beam of light again and the spacecraft reappeared. The enormous gates opened and I saw Amy near it. She was an alien? I couldnt believe my eyes. The person who descended from the sky was not an angel but an alien? She went up the spacecraft and the engines started working. My legs moved and I could feel myself running to the spacecraft. But, it was too late. The big metal piece had carried her away. Tears ran down my cheeks. As I faced down the earth, I saw huge big letters that says, I love you, Ivan. I rushed to work as fast as I could next morning and waited to see whether Amy would come to work or not. Time passed and she didnt appear. I was feeling very upset and regretful. I asked my manager about Amy and he looked at me as if I came from another planet. He asked, Sir, whos Amy? Many questions appeared in my mind. What? Does this mean I was the only one who talked/ interviewed and worst of all, fell for a person that never existed? I decided to forget all about that incident and to continue with my life. Months later, Valentines Day came and I received a parcel full of chocolates that smelled like a person who never existed. When I checked the card, it said, From, Amy. Hazel
