Brian Walker, the IT guy at a small government contractor, has two problems. First, he hasn't had his morning coffee, and second, a strange voice in his head claims an alien invasion is underway. Solving the least pressing of the two should be pretty simple, but that leaves the coffee issue to deal with! Still, what if that voice is telling the truth? Brian's lunch buddy, Dale, thinks so-but then, he also thinks the government has been putting mind control drugs in the water supply. After deciding to trust the voice in his head, all he needs is a first-rate team to face off against the aliens. He ends up with a Princess Bride fanatic (with eyes for him), a conspiracy theorist, and a cosplayer. Follow Brian and his ill-equipped band of office workers, as they try to save the world from well-meaning aliens that have finally lost patience waiting for the human race to kill itself off.

"The air is still, and I am a hunter." -Arthur Jynn Before you do read, here is some praise for this story: "Beautifully written, masterfully crafted, this story is a load of fantasy garbage..." -Abdul Kabir, author of 'Witch Slayer'. "Abdul Kabir invents a whole new revolutionary genre with his new book, 'Witch Slayer'. This genre is to be defined as 'Crap-fiction'. -Kabir, Abdul, writer of many other books in the same genre. "I had a gala time reading this short story! Mainly because it gave me more confidence in my own writing capabilities." -Some random citizen on the street, definitely not the same guy who wrote the above reviews. Aight enough sarcasm. Enjoy the book. :D ***
