I don’t recall what happened. All I remember is walking alongside the river with my fiancee, Mark, on Earth Day when several loud pop, pop, pop rang in the air. Next thing I knew, I was falling backwards into Mark’s arms, “Leila, what do I do?” He said frantically.
“My…pod.”
With me in his arms, he waded in the river until he found the pod I arrived in and helped me in. “How long?” He asked.
Tears began trailing down my face, “I…don’t know.”
As the pod started to seal, I heard Mark say, “I love you.”
And I you.

That’s so sad. Our time together in this world is always limited, but they at least had a chance to say good-bye.

I think she might had been a little too pessimistic. Maybe her pod will heal her wound, after all, she’s not of this Earth. So who knows, maybe she’ll get better.

A love affair between an alien and a human. Very romantic. And, he saved her in the end. Nicely done!

A true love story, wonderfully told. I bet he’s waiting there for her when the pod opens back up.
