Prologue

A little dim light glows in the dark. This light moves. It moves slowly. It's flying. It's flying towards Earth.

Earth. So many have talked so much about it. There it is: so blue, and it looks as if the Earth was breathing, but it's only the ocean moving, the greener and browner parts looked dead. But if you came close enough, you'd see that they shimmer from all the people that are constantly walking, running somewhere. The planet itself was charming - it appeared to be so shy, trying to hide from everything by putting on a little layer of clouds, like a soft scarf.

The little light changed direction and became brighter. It has to reach the surface of Earth. It had to. It would be a shame if it had to go back after spending so much time in airless space.

The light started growing - it became bigger and bigger. Now you could see the little silhouette inside. Whatever it was, it was alive - it moved.

When it passed through the ozone layer, the little light stayed on the other side of it. Now just a small strange egg-shaped cover was guarding the life inside.

Finally, powerful magnets, placed firmly on the ground, have caught this little creature, that came from another planet.

There already was cylinder and an airless room built for it, where it would live, grow, learn and try to get used to living among people. It's a wonderful achievement to every scientist everywhere, but nobody thought how it might end for the little creature, who has never seen pain or violence...

Author's Note

It's just the prologue. The rest of the book isn't like this.
