Free 42 - Egg Monsters from Mars by R.L. Stine - (ebook by Undead) Page A

again.
    In the afternoon, I woke up to hear my sister Brandy talking to some friends
outside my room. “Dana totally freaked out,” I heard Brandy say. “He says he was
kidnapped by egg monsters from Mars.”
    I heard Brandy’s friends giggling.
    Oh great, I thought bitterly. Now everyone thinks I’m a nut case.
    I wanted to call Brandy into my room and tell her what really happened. I
wanted to make her believe me. I wanted to make someone believe me.
    But how?
    I fell asleep again.
    I was awakened by a voice calling my name. I sat up in bed. The voice floated
in from my open bedroom window.
    I climbed out of bed and made my way to the window. Anne was calling me from
the driveway. “Dana—are you okay? Do you want to come over? I got a new CD-ROM
version of Battle Chess.”
    “Cool!” I called down to Anne. “I’ll be right over.”
    I pulled on a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. I was feeling pretty good. Rested.
Like my old self.
    So happy that everything was back to normal.
    I hummed to myself as I brushed my hair. I stared at myself in the mirror.
    You had an amazing adventure, Dana, I told myself. Imagine—you spent a
night with egg creatures from Mars!
    But now you’re okay, and your life is back to normal.
    I felt so happy, I gave Brandy a hug on my way down the stairs. She stared at
me as if I truly were crazy!
    Humming loudly, I made my way out the kitchen door and started across the
yard to Anne’s house.
    Everything looked so beautiful to me. The grass. The trees. The spring
flowers. The sun setting behind the trees.
    What a day! What a beautiful, perfect, normal day!
    And then halfway across Anne’s lawn, I stopped.
    I crouched down on the grass—and I laid the biggest egg you ever saw!
