parents, but I need to know the truth,” Carter pleaded as he cut the cake and asked a simple explanation from his parents. Although, both John and Charlotte realized that the explanation would not be that simple at all.
    They told him everything about his existence, whatever was known to them. But none of their explanations was enough for him, as it left him wanting more. He realized that he was from outer space but had no idea about anything else. He wanted to know about his origin, his existence, and his biological parents.
    Yes, John and Charlotte were still his parents and he loved them immensely, but there was a part of him that craved for something more. Every night, he would look at the stars, just in a hope to get some answers. But the dark clouds would leave him with no absolution, every single night. He had nowhere else to go. He couldn’t find anyone to give him concrete answers. He was all alone in the world that has billions of people.
    Days turned to nights and Carter didn’t realize how those insomniac nights turned to years. He grew older, but with time his craving to get all those answers also increased. He turned out to be a perfectly fine man, with immense physical and mental capabilities that were far beyond the comprehension of anyone else in the world. He knew that he was different and tried not to expose his powers to anyone, for he knew that Earth is a strange place and won’t accept him the way he was.
    In the meanwhile, he decided to enjoy what he had. The respect for his parents increased drastically and their well-being became his highest priority. After finishing school, he decided to stay with his parents and would help them in keeping the farm well-maintained. He was happy in his own little world, and Charlotte was happy to see a part of the whole wide universe in front of her eyes every day. That was all that she wanted.
     

Chapter Two
     
    It was just like every other night for Carter. He was done with his regular chores of the day and all three of them had a great winter supper. After having his dinner, Carted decided to walk a little and headed towards the infinite fields. The fresh cold and winter breeze brushed through his dark brown hair and he closed his blue eyes to take the moment in. He inhaled the fresh air and wished upon a falling star.
    He didn’t realize that his wishes would be fulfilled in a matter of just a few seconds. He heard a peculiar sound that came somewhere from the universe and a bright flash of light followed the crash. He thought that it was thunder, but his assumption was soon shattered when he saw a strange spacecraft approaching towards him from the distant sky.
    The sky changed its color, as the strange machine reflected different colors on the monochromatic sky and the stars shined brightly in luminous orange and green hues. Carter couldn’t figure out what was happening. The human in him wanted to step back and go back home, but he also knew that he wasn’t human at all. He wanted to know who was behind the spacecraft and took a few steps towards it, as it landed on their farm.
    For a moment, Carter couldn’t keep his eyes open. The wide illumination that was coming from the ship made everything extremely bright. The next moment, everything got changed and it was darkness in all the fields. The wind kept blowing and the lush green fields played a hauntingly beautiful symphony. The gates of the ship were opened and a blue-tinted light came from the inside.
    There was something inside the ship which attracted Carter. He just knew that the ship had the answers of his questions and wanted to visit it once, even if a part of him knew that it would be a disastrous move. He thought that he would be greeted by someone, an alien or a living being from the outer space would welcome him. He thought that he would meet someone from his home planet, but he was wrong.
    As he walked inside the ship, the gates were locked again. Carter knew that it was coming and
