The Aliens of Black Rock
I stand on the deserted town square, the wind howling around me, sand whipping my face. The town is a ghost town, its buildings empty and skeletal, the streets echoing with the ghosts of its former inhabitants. I’m tired, hungry, and thirsty, but I know I can’t rest. I have to find a way to get back to my ship and warn the others about the aliens.
I’ve been walking for hours, following the tracks of the aliens. They’re heading towards the mountains, and I’m starting to think they’re leading me into a trap. I’m not sure if I should keep following them, or if I should turn back and try to find another way back to my ship.
I decide to keep going. I’m not sure why, but I feel like I’m close to something important. I just have to keep going, and I’ll eventually find what I’m looking for.
I come to the edge of a cliff, and I see the aliens below. They’re surrounded by a group of cowboys, who are shooting at them with their rifles. The aliens are firing back, but they’re outnumbered and outgunned.
The cowboys are fighting bravely, but they’re starting to fall. I can see the fear in their eyes, and I know they’re not going to last much longer.
I have to do something. I have to help them.
I raise my rifle and start firing at the aliens. I can’t hit them from this distance, but I’m hoping I can scare them off.
The aliens are distracted by my gunfire, and the cowboys take advantage of the opportunity. They start to push the aliens back, and I can see that they’re starting to win.
I keep firing, and I can see the aliens starting to retreat. They’re running towards their ship, which is parked at the bottom of the cliff.
The cowboys are cheering, and I can’t help but smile. We’ve won! We’ve driven the aliens back!
But then I see something that makes my blood run cold. One of the aliens is standing by the ship, and it’s pointing a weapon at me.
I’m frozen in fear. I can’t move, I can’t speak. I’m just waiting for the inevitable.
The alien fires, and the bullet whizzes past my head. I turn and run, but I know I’m not going to get far.
I hear the alien coming after me, and I know I’m doomed.
I close my eyes and wait for the end.
Do the aliens kill me?
