Aliens Do Exist

This is in rough draft and will be edited later.

**************************************

I quickly glance up to see if there were any strange lights in the dark sky. Alien crafts showed up about a week ago with a grand entrance. It all happened very quickly and in the middle of the Queen's funeral.

The whole world was watching the broadcast when it all happened. A strange humming could be heard over the broadcast and the sky above the palace started to change colors.Before anyone could grasp what was going on, diamond-shaped objects just appeared out of nowhere. Every cell phone, camera, and recording device turned to the skies.

Within minutes there were twenty or more ships just hovering in the skies over London. It took a minute after for everyone to realize what was going on and then all hell broke loose. Chaos reigned that day, mass suicides, crime sprees, riots, and parties.

The next day, they showed up over Washington DC, and the day after that Moscow had their own hovering over them. Within a week every major country's capital had them. Russia tried to launch its nukes but the systems were disabled.

Any weapon of mass destruction was disabled by an unknown source and then would just disappear. That's when smaller crafts started to exit the larger ones. They would zigzag across the sky shining beautiful colored lights down on the world.

You couldn't hide from them no matter where you went. I was caught last night by the light while taking a jacuzzi bath. At first, I didn't even know the light was on me until the cooling water started to warm up again.

Let me tell you something, it is the damnedest thing to have cool water in an instant become hot again.

I shot up so fast that I forgot about my bath stand being in front of me. I ended up dumping my tablet and brand new phone along with my dark chocolate-covered cherries into the tub. It was a good thing that I had already drank my glass of wine and had sat the glass to the side or I would have been really pissed off.

After pulling everything out of the water is when I realized there was a greenish light on me. And there went everything back into the tub as I jumped out of the bath. My cherries just float on the surface as the chocolate melts off. I want to cry over this travesty but the light gets my attention again as it moves over me. Without thinking, I shout. "Hey, pervs, I'm taking a bath right now, so turn that shit off and get out of my bathroom."

In an instant, the room is dark again but for the faint light coming from my candle. Frustrated over everything getting ruined and being spied on, my bath is over. I throw my devices in rice cuz it's the miracle cure for soaked electronics and finish drying off. I never wear clothes in my house if I don't have to but after the whole light pervy thing, I throw on one of my nightgowns. My nightgowns are modest but comfortable, and it's the closest thing to naked I want to get.

For a few minutes, I look for my old phone and turn it on. I call my kids to find out how they are handling things and to tell them what just happened. The boys find it gross that I'm talking about my bath time and my girls find it creepy that I was spied on.

After talking to each of them, I walk back into the kitchen. I need more wine. Since my husband disappeared during a mission, the kids all have their own families, I just chill out with my six huskies. They are all acting weird, growling up at the ceiling, windows, or doors. I try to let them out but they stay right beside me. Morrigan and Loki both stick to my side. The pups Hera, Zeus 2, Thor, and Fiona keep running around with their hackles up. I know it will be useless to go to sleep, so I put on the news.

All around the world, people are reporting that their missing loved ones were showing up. It looks like them but somehow different. More.

My heart starts to ache thinking about Shawn. Hope. Pain. Swarm me as I try to imagine him just showing up. Just as that story ends another comes on talking about women missing from all over the world. As far as they can tell, it's only been single women of all ages. That gets my heart racing even more, even though I'm married, would I be considered single since he has vanished. My emotions are so scattered that I can't think straight anymore. I drink the whole bottle of pink Moscato to drown it all out.
