Chainstuck

For the longest time if someone said that our world was going to be attacked by aliens, most people would laugh while others would look on the the one yelling with pity, and some may even toss some pocket change to the seemingly mentally ill individual. This was how our world worked. Most thought we were alone in the universe even though probability always said otherwise. I was one of the few that took probability into account. There were more stars in the observable universe than there were grains of sand on all the beaches and in all the deserts combined, and each of those stars were the centers of their solar systems with their own planets orbiting them, so there had to be life out there somewhere. Yet even with all of that information set before them most turned up their noses at the mere mention of aliens, and perhaps it was the ignorant refusal that made us such an easy target in the first place.
