It was a dark and stormy night．I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window．"Who's there? " I shouted．Suddenly there was a flash of lightning; I saw a face at the window．It looked like an alien(外星人)…an alien that I had seen on the television show, "the X files"．
I felt very scared．I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head．I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply．Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party．
I looked out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything．Then I heard footsteps．They were getting louder and louder．I ran to my drawer to take out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window．Soon the footsteps died off．
The grandfather clock struck．It was 12 midnight．I went back to my bed and tried to sleep．But I could not sleep．I felt too frightened．I sat up, and my mind was full of thoughts．Time passed…finally, I fell asleep．
I woke up only after eight and decided to find out what it had been．I found some footprints outside my bedroom window．I measured them with a ruler and found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes．I then went to town to get the film developed．I didn't realize that I did not use the flash until I saw the black photos．
When I reached home, I told my father the whole incident and he started to laugh．I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party．Today, I am still amused to think I was so afraid of my own father．
