So me and a few friends are just hanging out at the local coffee shop when an urgent news alert starts flashing on the tv. It’s the fox urgent broadcast and the man begins to say in a rushed panic that a meteorite has broken apart in our atmosphere and millions of small fragments carrying alien life forms have struck the earth. “This is a full scale invasion” the man said then the broadcast cut out. At first you could tell almost everyone thought it was just a joke but then people started to pull up their social media accounts and could see proof of the matter. The alien species didn’t look very deadly or even harmful. They were short looking snakes with almost metal looking scales covering its body and a large almost dinosaur jaw. At this point me and my friend are talking about our options. We decided getting somewhere less crowded would be our best option. ***** Making it to his uncles log cabin about 40 miles away from town we needed to pack everything up. We were only about a mile from the shoreline where he kept his boat. After packing everything up we heard a cat shrill in pain right outside the front door. My friend ran outside to see it it was okay and one of the alien were devouring it whole. I came to only see the alien with a large bulge in its stomach. I jumped off the porch stomping the aliens head into the ground hearing a satisfactory CRUNCH in the process, but in the drop of a tack my badass demeanor turned to pure horror. This alien had a friend and that friend was burrowed in the ground beside it taking a bite out of my ankle. It bit my achilles right in to dropping me to my knees. I know my friend could see the pure fear in my eyes at that moment, but he wasn’t one to freeze up in these situations. He grabbed the snow shovel layer against the porch and struck the alien perfectly severing it’s head from its body. We made it back into the house as quickly as possible with my injury’s. **** We bandaged up my wound the best we could and my friend was quickly packing things up. The cabin had a radio in it for mostly speaking with truckers and others in the community, and I decided to try and find any updates. Maybe there was military nearby. Then after finally finding a news channel my hear fell to my stomach hearing those fatal words “do not get bit by them. Their saliva changes your dna. From what our scientists have seen it will cause you to become a nursery for their adolescents.” I was afraid to die. Life always felt almost empty to me and I didn’t want it to end yet, but what could I do? There was nothing that could save me at that time. I talked to my friend and he hesitantly agreed to “put me down” for my own sake. We sat and talked for a while about all the good times we had and I thanked him for everything. ***** standing about 15 meters away from the cabin I dropped to my knees, said a prayer, and told him to shoot. I closed my eyes and then felt a hard CRACK in the back of my skull, but then something unordinary happened. I felt no pain, no bleeding, and most importantly, alive? I opened my eyes and turned around to him but he wasn’t there. I then realized I felt no pain in my leg anymore and the injury was gone. After going inside and listening to the radio it seemed none of this had happened. It was just another normal day with no problems in sight. Was I going crazy? ***** I made my way back to town to find someone to talk to, but something seemed odd. The streets that usually had maybe 2 people on them at a time were completely packed. The town tripled in population, but why? I found an old man sitting on a bench and stopped to ask if he knew anything. The second I opened my mouth he said “ ahh welcome young one. I can tell your knew here. Take a seat because this is gonna be a lot for you.” What did he mean? I’m not new here, I grew up in this town? “I’m sure you’ve noticed the abundance of people here havnt you?” I nodded my head in agreement “I’m gonna make this to the point. Welcome to the after life. The hell we call first life has finally ended for you. The after life is not what anyone has taught over all of human existence. It is a true limitless lifetime. After you die you are sent here to an exact copy of we’re you died but now if you die you just wake up in your bed the next morning.” -there was a lot more to this dream but it was mainly filler shit that is to boring to type. The only interesting thing is I joined the military not being afraid of death anymore and was ambushed and killed painfully over and over again until I woke up. My “heaven” was turned into hell once again.
