"Shut up..." I hissed, hitting snooze on my phone. "I want to sleep just five more minutes, then you can... wake... me up..."

BEEEEEHWTHGHSBE....

"Ugh, I'm up," I thrusted up, despite my tiredness. Light flickered through the blinds, frequently becoming blocked by something.

It's probably just the trees.

Putting on some white fluffy slippers, I lazily walked over to the freezer. I normally stock it with frozen Starbucks breakfast sandwiches, because I work there after school and late night on Fridays.

You know, like a normal person who enjoys working at the favorite place they eat at.

Of course, like some of the time, there are no traces of sandwiches.

"Better go get some later," I grumbled, taking the egg carton out of the fridge.

I walked over to the stove, setting the full carton down carefully. Glancing over at the phasing light, the urge to open them came upon me. Being more eager then ever in the morning, I skittered across the room to the lights.

Opening the blinds, my jaw dropped.

There's an epic battle going on! And because I sleep with airPods, I couldn't hear whatever else was happening outside. There are alien UFO ships scattered across the sky, shining a death beam at all our structures including us.

Anybody under it got turned into a green goo...

Panic filled my body, nearly forcing me run outside to Lucy and the others houses. They live close to here, so maybe they can-

"Katy! It's an invasion! Get down here with everybody else!" Mom bursted through my door.

Did I forget to lock again?! Shoot, like that matters now.

I zipped to mom, clinging to her side. We literally skittered down the stairs at a speed normally impossible; but then again aliens are killing us off so maybe I should have thought better.

Continuing, everybody else that lived here crowded along with us. Together, we dashed off to a nearby park known as Florence's Garden. It isn't an actual garden, but rather a big open place with lots of trees.

The only open part is actually the hills.

We entered it hastily, hiding behind the various big trees in fear of them finding us.

"Sorry to break it to you, but an amateur is gonna fire their beam at us," a guy that has the worst case of dusty voice pointed to a ship coming towards us.

"Welp. See you people in hell!" Another guy mused, sticking his arm out.

The ships beam came on, slightly glitchy. No matter, we're screwed.

Me and mom embraced each other, waiting for something to happen...

A horrifying scream escaped my throat as the beam hit my body. Severe pain stabbed every part, not quitting to get worse. Everything slowed down,
