I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.

⋆The Survivors [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]⋆ by LauraTCollins_

In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other. After five years of peace and prosperity, then the peace ran out and the invasion began.

Story is set in 1958, not as a flashback but as a contemporary tale. Without warning, the Earth is visited by alien spacecraft. The entire planet goes instantly into shock-- who are they and what do they want? In the panic over their arrival, tremendous numbers of people are killed as everyone runs for cover. An hour later, huge numbers of alien troops flood the cities and within an hour after that, there is an alien on every street corner! And then-- nothing happens! For a couple of days, no one ventures out. The phones work, so people talk about their experiences. No one has actually been harmed by the aliens! More days pass and some people are seen venturing out. Mostly for food! The aliens do nothing. They are not motionless, they just do nothing! On the 5th day, shops open. On the 6th day, a few taxis are seen picking people up! The 7th day. Many people are out. Things are getting back to normal, almost like the aliens don't exist. And then... There is a message! It comes over every radio and television. And over the phone! And you'll have to read the book to find out what they said. AND-- what happens next is like SCIENCE FICTION!

What happens when a young man finds himself in a place a little out of his solar system, but closer to danger then he could ever imagine? Small number of parts, long chapters!
