Delight and dread of sci-fi fantasy fiction

“Bang!” The loud noise attracted everyone’s attention, including the people who were sleeping. Two plate-looking objects were flying towards us. You couldn’t really see them with your naked eye, they were way too small and fast. It was as thick as a piece of paper.

It traveled at such pace that the speed of lightning seemed slow in comparison.

Everything on the table dropped as the two plates flew inside. I picked up a magnifying glass and looked at them. A little cute creature marched out.

“Awww” everyone gasped. It looked like a cute little doll in the world of dwarfs. It had round eyes and very thin lips. It walked on to a piece of paper full of messy handwriting. A playful boy lifted the paper but accidentally dropped it. Luckily, I caught the creature. I felt the softness of the creature’s fur and the weight of its small feet on my hand.

Everyone stared at me with envy in their eyes. After I put it back on to the table, I sniffed my hand. It was the scent of strawberry. I felt a bit dizzy. Just then, another creature appeared. I spotted its black beard and its green ugly skin. The creature was pulling something long and red in color out of the plate-like looking spaceship. Everyone was amazed by the storage of the plate. A sharp voice screamed from a corner of the room: “It’s a laser gun!” Everyone screamed and ran away in horror.
