Dark Monsters

The smell hits first, not rotten or bitter, but pleasant and sweet. No one had seen the aliens, some say you can't. We have to rely on our other senses to find them. It sounds like a summer breeze, soft and inviting. You can see where they walked, the grass is greener, flowers more vibrant, and colors more bright. Your body relaxes, a feeling of content settles upon your shoulders. Its the feeling right before you fall asleep...

That's when they get you.
