Moment of the spur.

-Originally a piece I wrote on www.HmongPride.com- Clickable

I quickly closed the door behind me as I stumbled on into the small room. It was as if I was in one of those sci-fi movies running away from the alien and I had just made it in time to close the door so the alien wouldn't get through. Btu then, you know how always goes, the alien will find a different way, through some other way or the ceiling. Movies these days are nearly predictable, but still fun to watch.

Looking around the room, I could see myself at a distance. I moved, he moved, I breathed, he breathed. Now it was getting weird, was I stuck in one of those mirror mazes? I then took a quick glance around the room, noticed 2 strange foreign instruments. One was tall, up to my waist with a dome shape, but it was the inside of it. On the top of the inside out dome was 2 round triggers and 1 leakage pipe.

The other instrument that I noticed was lower, to about my knee. It was in the shape of a bowl and had water in it. I wonder to myself if this was the foundation of youth for a sec, but then decided to not try it myself since I didn't want to live for ever like Tuck Everlasting. I'll take my chances as a normal human. This strange object as had a trigger, but not like the other, it was flat, seemed like it was a control key of some sort.

So I was curious, I turned the trigger count clockwise. The engine started to rumble. I looked down at the bowl and the water was gone, it must be an alien spaceship that the aliens have perfected a water fueling system to operate their ship. As the grand engine rumbled away, I turned to my left to notice, there was another door there.

I pulled open the hammered window door and then it came to me. I was in my bathroom, getting ready to shower.
