"Nancy Ebb. Homo Supremus. Mars. 23. Arrived on Earth 365 days ago with The Order. Escaped approximately 246 days ago. Currently resides in the Underground, smuggling medicine into a compound for the last surviving Homo Sapiens. Did I miss anything?" I freeze and turn around. The man takes one last draw from his cigarette and drops it to the ground, crushing it thoroughly with the tip of his boot. "You're worth millions Nancy." His voice is a whisper, but I could hear every syllable, every rise and dip of his voice. The hairs on my neck are erect. There are many ways to describe shock. Wide eyes, an increased heartrate, goosebumps. Stomach twisting, hands flying to chest, disorientation, and hopelessness. Feeling as if the whole world is breaking, crumbling apart around you, and not being able to keep up with your senses. The inability to comprehend what you're seeing or hearing or feeling. It's scary. To be on the ground, but in the air at the same time. Every pulse, every breath, like a thousand explosives travelling through your body. Shock is more painful than any other emotion, because you can never anticipate it. "I have to go." I say quickly, stepping onto the tarmac.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258! HR: 203 in science fiction (5/8/18) Completed on August 15th, 2018 (Indian independence day!) *******This is not a zombie novel
