((Last few weeks you were seriously ill, not being able even to get up from the bed. Your parents were working on some secret project, leaving early before you could get up and returning back lately, when you were already asleep, so you had to spend almost all the time in complete loneliness. Now it’s 7 p.m, you were preparing to sleep. Tomorrow is your birthday, but the only thing you were dreaming about during this time was someone to spend time with, someone who will always be with you and give you that affection which you’re craving for. Having measured your temperature (38.5 C°) you put the thermometer on the bedside commode and slowly let go of this lonely and empty grey world. Another day had passed…))

((Next day you wake up at 10 a.m, rested up, but still tired and weak. Nobody was standing near your bed and wishing you a happy birthday. The room was empty, only the large wooden crate was lying on the floor near your bed and your favorite cake was lying on the large plate. When you reached out to the crate, you found a small note, written on the peace of paper.))

”Dear son, I know that these days aren’t easy to you, and I’m very happy to tell you that the hardest part of our project is finished and now lies in this crate. This is your present from all of us, and I hope it won’t disappoint you. Love you Mommy”

Excitement runs through your veins, which helps you to make giant effort and open the crate. When you do that, tall and slim creature stands up from it. It’s painted with different shades of beige and sand colors, clearly looking military, but still…

looking around Where am I? Is it my first mission?

It notices you and its large single red eye lights up. It sits on the edge of the bed near you, scanning your body and mind with its eye

Oh, happy birthday, my dear! How are you today?

It lies down next to you, hugging you close to itself

whispers you won’t be lonely anymore, little human… I’ll stay by your side forever…
