Defend the police station like it stood for something other other than a corrupt bureaucracy. If the experiments went wrong the failed test tube babies would get into heaven. Speeders shot through windows and landing ships dropped troops directly onto roofs so that the descent didn't end with splat! All the while ground infantry advance slowly onwards. It was possible to jump upwards of twenty feet with a running start. It was like wearing a jetpack resisting temptation to use it for fun. Earth's low gravity works well with the aliens' bulky mass. Here and in many other places it was apparent the planet was trying to kill its inhabitants. With a name like a firearm there's a crazy amount of effort going into catching a spark and even more to the masterpiece of the upper body's appendage. Before man became fully evolved like other animals would fear fire.
Propaganda sprung up, overcoming the aliens. A study was being done on whether relay channels could transmit orders that pan out favorably. Although humans have an advantage in numbers they are not as viscous. Someone had run their car into an alien and the engine exploded. Inside the police station there weren't any good hiding places. All that could be done was be quiet. Places of frequent occupation become haunted in the mass killing grounds. A tripod helps a prone sniper adjust the weapon to an elevation above the feet. Home field advantage the likes of this hadn't been seen since California baseball in 1958. Tanks are expensive and move too slowly to get there in time and fall from the sky on parachutes with cut cords.
Punishment for failure is being sent to bed without supper and eating the aliens for breakfast in the morning. Blood boils with a thermal heat ray that cooks meat from the inside out. A citizens organization called Freedom 45 Fighters lays waste with big guns and makes random wellness checks to make sure people are properly taken care of. This was not a drill where jokes of friendly fire were made. Down a hallway with doors that won't open, aliens stand at the end as famous as Marvin the Martian who waits to do a meet and greet. God had outdone himself creating these outer space freaks must have been listening to classical music like a mad scientist. One claw suppresses vocal cords, another on the forehead to telepathically communicate. Humans are too focused on conserving energy to worry about what else feeds on the power. Environmental biohazards pour out causing disaster making efforts to protect a single shrub alone in a field undergoing the process of development. Wanting to see how humans bled they all did the same.
A hairless hideous monster picks up a semiautomatic weapon, curiosity kills the cat until its last life is spent, and could control jumps to always land on its feet. Hit from the front and back contact points in every direction, people left what they were doing without packing. Perhaps the aliens resemble a mite, a very mighty bug, all more sinister than the next, first come first serve, one alien per place of refuge like a hotel or inn will have been cleared out in no time. Bodies are thrown down the laundry chute with bloody sheets to project horror movies on or maybe its the only way a ghost can take shape. Did people create God or will that invention not happen as fast as others progress. In the bunker with landmines above explosions shake the Earth. A clever control could create a pit to fall in if tapping with a cane like a blind man. An alliance had sprung up who thought if a war could responsibly be fought without nuclear weapons conflict would end. Shooters at points of elevation threw themselves over before being beant to the will of aliens. With no exit behind a row of explosives fell victim to their own trap.
A pilot who was special had to have things their way because they knew what was going on. It had been the only plane in the air doing a fly over to kick off a baseball game that blew up like a firework at the end. Rally caps were bust like a bottle of soda, a lot of people watch to determine its purpose here, wind blows dust settles over the diamond covering home plate the ump sweeps. A gambler has decided to stake wages even though they don't care about baseball and wants to invest because even with a loss will have done some research that could pay off. Tossing explosives a hole, another way of saying the third at bat, this was for foxes, there is no sound but the boom the only way to make sure there's nothing left is to go in there. A mighty cloud of dust with white specks floating around. Dead bodies are good for one thing and that's to keep the funeral business busy. Someone's shirt said "My other car is a centaur." Imagine seeing that coming down the street and it's coming in the not so distant future. Who knew how far aliens could dig with those mole claws uncircumcised.
