The aliens came from above. At first, they were just a myth, a folk-tale: someone somewhere heard something. Suddenly, stories began to multiply: witnesses were emerging. The aliens were real.
They started taking us. Their ships scarred our skies. Fear became a perpetual state of mind in which we lived. Still, we tried to communicate; we sang the most beautiful songs, but they fell on deaf ears.
The aliens were brutal, massacring us, using us for amusement, tearing out our songs. Separated, tortured, and poisoned, we lost everything.
Our songs echoed through the ocean with sadness, until we were no more.
Such a haunting story. Lovely writing, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for your comment.
Very well done!
Thank you!
I really feel this one. You infused so much heartbreak into so few words.
Thank you. It’s because I feel it in my stomach, the powerlessness. Just watching and waiting for the world to die before our own eyes.
Great story. This is what has happened to a large percent of earth’s animals when human aliens invaded their world. It would only be karma.
