It was an ordinary day, ordinary week and an ordinary… well until May 5th it turned from light and beautiful, to dark and scary.
It was an alien invasion. It crashed right through the ozone layer. We had guns lasers and planes firing at it, but nothing worked.
I ran into my lab, grabbed all my inventions and put them together. It looked like a hunk of junk, but I thought, “It will work” so I plugged all the cords in to the power point and pressed the button there was a loud… BOOM a big laser light shot out of the top and hit the shop, CRASH, it hit the ground so hard it made all of the buildings fall down, but I did not care all I cared about was the ship.
Was it broken?
Were there anymore aliens?
Were more going to come?
Well if more come, we are ready…!
