It was very important because I could use this money to buy a ticket to the Invaders on the Earth'', at the Mad House Theatre.

I said to my mother: "Thanks a lot Mom, I really needed this''.

"You don't need to thank me, you earned it,'' she said. "Now go buy your tickets before they are sold out.'' I ran my fastest to the ticket booth. When I got there, there was a long line.

I said, "Gee, Joey, I never knew you had the mumps.'' Everyone ran.

"That was fun,'' I said to myself.

I ran to the booth. I saw a sign that read: "Children under 16 may not watch this movie''.

I said to myself, "That means me, but who gives a damn?'' I had to lie to the cashier by saying I'm 19 even though I'm only 11 years old. I still got my movie ticket.

The next day I finished my house-work, got my bath and put my clothes on, picked up my ticket, ran out of the door, saying: "Bye, see you when I come back''.

My heart raced about frantically, perspiration rolled down my body, and my legs shook violently. I noticed that no one was in the theatre. Suddenly, the room went completely black, the lights went off in a flash! The movie started. For a few moments everything was silent until thunderous clapping sounded to my head. I looked around the room. I didn't see any one accept two figures in the control room. One of them was a magician, as it seemed. The second I couldn't figure out.

As if they were planning a plot. As I watched the movie, I saw a glittery substance in the light that the picture provided. It's just the magician playing about.

Suddenly the movie stopped as the aliens from Mars were about to eat the President of the United States.

A figure came out of the screen, saying we'll tear this town from limb to limb. Believe it or else the aliens did come to life.

The next day half of the city of 8,500 people were dead. In the next half? I have to die.

Finally, the aliens did and my friend Michael and I were the only ones left.

The magician was killed by his own tricks.

The magician had mistakenly reversed their power.

Michael and I rebuilt our city and the population grew stronger each month by tourist coming in and settling there.

The town grew back and everyone lived happily ever after.
