"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear."

              Romeo and Juliet Act 1, scene 5 





There has been talk about aliens for about a couple of days now, actually there has been for many years. But recently there has been more and more popups in the news, each time i check Facebook something about an alien appears. I ignore it all the time. Its always fake news and people just spreading more and more fear, clickbaiting everyone for more likes and views. 

I eat my burger in annoyance, as the dogs near me are barking nonstop, their owners failing each time to calm them. I should have eaten inside instead of out here, but the weather was so nice i wanted to enjoy it while i ate my lunch. Rolling my eyes i take another bite as the barking continues, i look at them and notice how each of them are barking into the sky. I frown trying to see what they are looking only to see a couple of birds. 

Of course birds. 

"Will you please shut your dogs!" An old man stands up, his body shaking just a bit, his face full of wrinkles, most of his hair is gone, the rest are pure white. He wears a nice button up purple shirt that compliments his brown eyes. 

"I am trying ok!" A small girl with red flaming hair and freckles says. She tries to distract her Pitbull trying to take his attention from the birds in the sky. 

"Yeah well you aren't all trying hard enough!" Another annoyed person says, i look to see a tall big built lady with short black hair. 

"Max! Shut it!" Another dog owner yells. His dog completely ignores him. Their barking becoming louder and louder. I stand up in annoyance and the barking stops, i look to see all the dogs trying to hide, their loud barking now has become quiet whimpering. 

Everyone is looking around confused, i do too, i look up and see the birds are gone, but now theres a strange light in the middle of the sky. I look around as everyone stares up at the sky. Many people begin grabbing their kids, fear in their eyes. 

"What is that?" I hear someone ask, i dont know who it was as my eyes are glued to whatever this light was, it was becoming brighter by the second, and then the loud rumbling began, the tables shaking. 

To the right i see a jet flying towards the bright light, which now it looks like some kind of airship or something  like that. 

Theres another jet and they both begin to shoot at the spaceship. The screaming then began, I look around as the dog owners try to get their dogs. Theres chaos here, i grab my things and begin to run, i hear a loud yell and see the old man on the floor, tears flooding his eyes as he looks around for help. I run to him, trying to pick him up. 

"Oh thank you! Thank you!" He cries out. 

"Hold on tight." I say. I manage to get him steady and we try to make a run for it. The old man holds on tight, a loud explosion makes us fall to the ground, thankfully we land in a patch of grass, just by the building next to us. 

"Are you ok?" I ask him. 

"Just leave me child, go save yourself!" The old man says tears straining his eyes.
