It was 2020, one of the first raids that the creatures conducted against the human race. They reached his village and the local police with small fire arms tried to make a stand… but they were many and coming in waves… killed everything in sight.
He was standing in his home with his wife when the monsters reached his home… they were standing there, face to face not sure what to do… kill both of them or not…
They made a move and impaled his wife with one of their many hands… ripping her one as if she were a melon… but they didn’t approach him, as if they were afraid of him, as if they sensed him as one of their own…
Being at peace with himself he waited for them to kill him because without his wife he was nothing… but they didn’t… leaving him there for the next wave…
As he sat into his now devastated home and life he started hearing voices… or he though he did… kill, kill, kill this planet is ours now… we have prevailed… we are one.
The second wave came… to clean up the mess that the first wave left behind, he sensed them coming… their thoughts screaming to him… kill everything in site… kill all the intruders… they came… one of them standing in front of him… looking at him…
He took control over it’s mind… as if he was the creature and the creature was him… one being… He climbed on the creatures back and headed towards the nearest space port… only to find the destruction there
There was only on ship still intact… he got in and headed of the planet… into the unknown... only to find what was left of the human forces on high orbit.
*******
She came rushing in his cabin only to find him asleep… squirming in his bed… with all other stuff thrown throughout the room… a nightmare. She woke him up…
What are you doing here?
You screamed for me to come here.
I didn’t do that… or at least I think I didn’t.
You did… I sensed you in my mind screaming for me to come.

Tiny bit, chewed on it in minutes...
RăspundețiȘtergereYep, that clears it up a bit, so they were some sort of collective/telepathic creatures and he had the same "abilities" so they did not kill him...very interesting idea this...
Maybe develop a little on the motivations of the character as he went away into space (in another part)...this one was complete as it was and nicely wrapped up towards the end...
...there was the same telepatic connection between Alpha and she (whoever she is, ca tot nu-mi spui...)
Hmmmm...nice post,waiting for more!!!!
what motivations....... there are no motivations...
RăspundețiȘtergereand she.... is she...
he seemed sort of walking in a dream as he left the planet
RăspundețiȘtergeredepends what you consider a dream and what you don't...
