An Alien Invasion

picture this: late night. you're driving home. from a meeting. in a different town. 300km away from home. alone. at 60mph. with the car stereo playing 'Love Is In The Air' by John Paul Young. you drive. cruise down the empty and lonely highway. you're seeing signboards. signboards. signboards. you read those signboards. 'home-120km away'. you yawn. more signboards. signboards. signboards. you turn your attention to the road. you see lines. lines. more lines.

then. suddenly. you notice something weird. something bright. something unusual. something like this:

is flying above your car. flying. hovering for an instance. before exploding in supersonic speed and vanish into the thin air. you look at the exact same spot where it disappears for 3 seconds. and then you open your mouth and blurt out : "FUCK THIS SHIT!"

you look at the rear mirror. checking. checking if there are other road users on the road that may have witness it too. you found. nothing. there was no one else there. your speedometer drops. you whip the sweat from your forehead. you say to yourself : "I MUST HAVE OVERWORKED JUST NOW. NOW I'M SEEING THINGS IN MY HEAD. I'M TIRED. I NEED TO GET HOME SOON".

soon. your speedometer continues to climb and you're on your way back home. you drive. drive. eager to get back as soon as possible. you begin to think that the undesired sight that you just saw was delusional. your mind is playing tricks on you. you're tired.

you begin to calm down and continue driving. as things getting better along the road. you begin to feel something somewhat chilly. you turn off the air con. cold. cold. and then. you look out the window and saw this :

you freak out! you step on the throttle so hard that it nearby broke off. your rpm climb until the roof. your speedometer was unreadable. you reach home some half and hour later. you jump into your bed. wrap yourself inside the blanket. you doze off.

next morning. around 8am. you wake up. your mind is blank. you open your eyes and walk aimlessly around the house. you switch on the tv. like you always did in the morning. you watch the early news. but wait. the news presenter is not around. but someone else is there. you look closely. he looks familiar. then when you open your eyes wide enough and get closer look. your brain rings a bell. he's there. in tv. every channel. the US President is on every damn channel. speaking. looks like a global alert or something. something important.

you could not believe it! what you're hearing! and what you're seeing! apparently the US President is giving out an important message. THE WHOLE WORLD IS UNDER ATTACK. from washington dc to tokyo japan. from pyongyang to paris. from the arctic circle to africa. ALIENS HAD INVADED THE PLANET! there are aliens everywhere! they're ugly. around 5 feet tall. green headed. yellow eyes and long limps. skinny looking creatures. but deadly.killing humans. killing everything. destroying buildings. cars. park. offices and schools.

armed forces around the world are working together to fight these aliens. for the first time in mankind history. but we humans are outnumbered. the aliens keeps on coming and there are more and more of them. more.more. more. and they are everywhere.

later. the general in charge issues a contigency plan. it is a plan that will determine the faith of mankind. the plan is. TO HIDE. apparently we just can't fight off those alien and we're forced to hide. hiding was the only way out. our only option. our only hope. so we start to hide. everyone who survived the first wave of killing rampage in the world. we hide.

for hours we hide. until the hours become days. we hide. hide. all we ever know was to stay out form the alien infested world. we hide. maybe a week later or so. help finally arrived. some sort of galactical combat force arrived. armed with laser beams. they hunt for those greenish monsters. blam blam blam. one by one. the aliens vapourise. few hours later. they did it. they killed all the aliens. every one of them. every piece of them is gone. our heroes later starts to make announcement that they beaten the aliens. we're safe.

so the news of the alien death begin to circulate around the world. people began to resurface from their hidding. everyone around the world. the world celebrated the end of the alien's dictatorship and also the heroic acts from the galatical combat force. just as everything is going back to normal. and then ......

what? could not picture the scenes anymore? neither could I. cause something 'fishy' just attacked my nostrils. i opened my eyes. and found out my face was buried deep into the piles of dirty clothes on my bedroom floor. it was a dream. dream. better luck next time. hope. i would love not to have ufos flying above my car someday. hmmm
