FROM THE AUTHOR

This story lived in my head all my life, watching people and animals. What if people swap with animals? What will a person feel at the same time?

I often put myself in the place of pets, laboratory mice and any other animal. Believe me, the feeling that I felt at the same time was heartbreaking.

A little dreamy, I added something else: the relationship. Is such a relationship possible between representatives of different planets? Why not? But, in this story, relationships will remain intact and friendly, despite the higher feelings of the characters. And it will tear them to pieces.

In the fantastic story The Pet there is a hidden meaning. And if the Reader understands it, then I have achieved the desired effect by writing this story.

Chapter One

Few people look up. In cities, the lights of lanterns and signs overshadow the sparkling stars. And in the villages people just do not pay attention to the beauty of the night sky.

And after all there is a lot of interesting.

People... People can't live in peace for long. By their nature, these beings who call themselves human are aggressive. They are at war with each other, native people go against the. And for they are not enough: they destroy everything around. How disgusting!

Impatiently, people were waiting for the arrival of aliens. For what? So they waited.

She was kidnapped. More than once. They conducted experiments on her and on other people, studied her. But when the woman opened her eyes, only a vague dream remained in her memory. In the depths of her subconscious doubts crept: is it a dream? Since childhood, she saw UFOs many times.

The evening was frosty. Michelle went to the bus stop from work, when through the sky low flew UFO. Everything was lit up with a bright flash. She stopped and followed the trajectory of the object. Flying saucer sparkled with colored lights and did not make any sound. UFO decreased definitely. The woman very much wanted to continue supervision, but she could be late for the tram. The sixth sense gave the alarm: we must hurry home, there her son waiting for. Her instinct never failed. And this time Michelle has a bad feeling. She hurried to a stop. Over her head swept another UFO, followed by an explosion.

Stunned by the explosion, the woman looked away. The dust did not allow to consider the destroyed houses and the blood-stained bodies of people. Then there was another explosion and another. The screams of the people filled the air. Clouds of dust and smoke rose up. A fiery blow on the rails made it clear that Michelle will not goes by the tram. The woman raised her head up and saw hovering over her UFO. Oh, my God, she whispered. The woman sprinted and ran forward. Before her eyes was the image of her son. The maternal instinct always works. She ran as hard as she could. Here and there were heard cries, the rumble destroyed buildings, the sound of alarms, cars colliding with each other... The city began to panic. The city started to panic.

Woman running on the go trying to call his son. But the phone did not work. Damn aliens! Michelle tearfully swore. She got to the bridge and sighed with relief: the bridge was intact. Hurriedly passing the bridge, Michelle thought about his beloved son. He was the dearest person in the world. She prayed to God that nothing happened to him, that he was alive. Her lungs were bursting with pain, heart pounding, she gasped. Do not panic, she told herself. Michelle looked around, trying to figure out how to quickly and quietly get home. But this is not so easy: people's panic could kill her. The woman quickened her pace. Street lights went out, people ran in panic everywhere, accident carried away their lives, UFO rays directed at people and abducted them. Everyone expected an alien invasion, but no one was ready for it.

Michelle ran and prayed. She's exhausted. But a mother's love customized her. From the sky fell on her blue beam and a woman as though paralyzed. Oh, no, flashed through her mind. Michelle could not say a word, not a shout. She could not resist this force. Her body jerked, leaned back and slowly began to rise up.

Ash was sitting at a laptop and played the game. His mother had to return from work, and he waited. She always called, after work, but this time his phone was silent. It's a little worried about Ash. Thundered away explosion forced the teenager to look out the window. However, he did not see anything. Anxiety grew. Did the war begin? thought Ash. He began to dress, deciding to go to meet his mother, but he stopped. What if the trams do not go, and she walks? Then, if I leave the house, we cannot meet each other. Ash decided to stay home. But this idea was not good: they could explode the house. He looked out the window. Then Ash saw a UFO over the house, which was not so far. Its beam lifted people. It cannot be! he exclaimed.

The woman opened her eyes around was dark, only an occasional flash of light, her hands and feet were wrapped in something like vines, back rested against a hard surface. She tried to escape, but could not. Michelle knew that scream and call for help does not make sense, besides, it will attract the attention of her kidnappers. Suddenly her fear hit. She clearly felt heavy penetrating look into the back of her head. Oh, no, Michelle thought. Tall lean figures surrounded her. The woman was able to understand that this is not the people through the flashes of light. Bottomless big eyes were remembering her best. Of liane, keeps the right hand of Michelle, grew thin twig and stuck into a vein. The woman jerked her hand, trying to throw this thread - bloodsucker. She felt as out of her veins the blood is pumped out. A sharp pain shot through her naked body and Michelle cried. Alien being hurts the woman's abdomen beam of round object. It looked at the woman, then chirped in surprise and turned its gaze to another creature. That answered with a guttural bubbling. Why are you doing this? the woman whispered, but there was no
