Chapter 5
by Musher
What's odd? A lack of people? Maybe a disc in the sky? Perhaps aliens approaching you?
Aliens approach, collecting human women along the way
You hear a low rumbling noise, far away at first, but getting rapidly closer. Turning towards its source, you see a crowd of yelling people come running around the corner and head straight towards you. You, and everyone around you, stares confusedly at the approaching mob. You can make out a few words and phrases they are yelling now as they get closer: "Look out", "Run!" "Did you see ...", "Oh my God".
You take a few nervous steps back and begin to think about how to get away from this mob, when you see what they are running from come round the corner. It is a group of four .... you can only think to call them little green men. They are about 3 feet tall and green, but other than that look very human. Their heads are bald and a bit on the largish side, but not freakisly so. They are naked, and obviously male, with the size of their manhoods not being any smaller than a normal human male despite the short stature of the rest of their bodies. One more thing catches your eye, they may not be wearing clothes, but each of them is carrying what countless science fiction movies have taught you is a ray gun. Behind the aliens comes a large silver wagon, floating eerily above the street on nothing you can see. The wagon is huge, easily filling the street from side to side, and inside is lined with some kind of soft flowing material. And inside the wagon are women, at least 10, maybe 15, **** human females.
You stare transfixed at the scene as the mob reaches you. One of aliens stops and lowers his ray gun. A beam of yellow light flashes out into the running people. It hits a man running straight at you. Suddenly, he is not there any more, only a skeleton in his clothes. the skeleton runs on for 5 more feet from momentum, then stops in a heap at your feet. You scream. The laser beam swings right and hits a woman in a t-shirt and shorts who was running right beside him. You brace yourself to see the skeleton scene repeated, but that does not happen. Instead, her eyes close and her face takes on a dreamy, almost blissful, expression. She stops running and softly collapses next to the skeleton, looking for all the world like a woman in the middle of a peaceful sleep. You look down at her and the rise and fall of her chest tells you she is still breathing.
The laser continues shooting through the mob of running people. With each hit, a man disintegrates or a woman sleeps. Finally the alien raises his weapon and slings it on his sholder again. Most of the mob has escaped, and is now past you down the street, but the green men do not seem to mind. They begin to collect the sleeping women and carefully place them in the wagon. You turn to join the tail end of the fleeing mob, but other options do occur to you. It might be safer to dash into the nearest building and hide out. You even consider bravely grabbing the legs of the fallen woman in the t-shirt and shorts and trying to drag her to safety. Other possiblities flit through your mind.
The little green men are distracted by collecting the human women. What do you do?
