Gift from the Stars

Their Prisoner 🛸

When Lucas finally came to his senses, he was in a dark room. He couldn't see anything except for some strange glowing purple runes throughout the room. Suddenly, a bright light appeared blinding Lucas. When his eyes eventually adjusted, he was face to face with two terrifying creatures. They both looked as if they were other worldly! Their skin was a light blueish gray and covered in glowing purple runes. Their eyes were big and insect-like in appearance. Their mouths were vertical with dangling floppy teeth. The creatures towered above Lucas, who was strapped down on some sort of table.

What are they going to do to me? There has to be a way to get out of here! Quick, look around for things I can use to escape!

As Lucas looked around, he found there was nothing in the room except for the aliens and the table he was bound to. Thankfully though, he had an idea. He saw that the straps the aliens had used were made up of some sort of leather-like material. The second the aliens could leave, Lucas was going to make his run for it.

After about an hour of prodding and poking, the Aliens decided they needed a more detailed observation. One of the two pulled out a sharp looking object and began to move it closer towards Lucas' chest. Panicked, Lucas let out a scream. This startled the aliens and the one accidentally struck Lucas with the sharp object. Lucas began to spurt out blood, as the item punctured his lower stomach. The blood from the wound sprayed all over the aliens, who began to violently scream as a result. It appeared as though the blood from Lucas was burning the aliens' skin. Perhaps human blood was toxic to these creatures?

Both of the aliens quickly left the room in a hurry. This was his chance! Though not the way he had hoped, it was still an opportunity! Lucas looked around for the sharp object but couldn't seem to find it. The alien must have brought it with them out of the room. Thankfully, he still had his original plan. Lucas reached into his pocket and grabbed his now broken phone. He shimmied his way out of the restraints by utilizing the broken glass. Unfortunately in the process he had also cut up his torso pretty bad. Lucas was officially free, but he was bleeding profusely from all the cuts he had endured.

There was only two ways out of this room, the way the aliens went, and the opposite direction. Seemed like a no-brainer! Lucas quickly made his way to the opposite door. As he opened it up, he was greeted with hundreds of spacecraft equipment. It was if he had just stumbled onto the world's greatest sci-fi movie set. As much as he wanted to check out all the gadgets before him, he knew his main priority had to be getting out of here! However, in the very back of the room it seemed to be a dead end.

Just then, an alarm started to blare throughout the building. The aliens must've noticed Lucas missing from his restraints. He was trapped! There was no way he would be able to escape with them in the room next to him. He had to make a choice, either A: give up and let the aliens take him prisoner or B: hope that one of these gadgets beside him could somehow save the day. Neither option was very promising, but getting to play with random space gadgets seemed at least more fun!
