Contact ended abruptly
Signal lost, and without warning -
Flashes of light fill the sky
Cities turned into glass
Crippled and shattered
Reduced to human cattle
Blinding nauseous green lights
Devoid of all warmth
Cold and calculated torture
Suspended in mid air
As muscles tear
Filling with dread
From voices in my head
Lasers slice the skin
Organs ripped within
Now losing sight
Blinded from light
Drill pierce the skull
Cognition dulls
Nitrogen flood
Crystallized blood
Razors slicing through my back - spinal column extract
consciousness hijacked, brain and spine remain in tact
Human extinction threat
Too advance to comprehend
Thermonuclear retaliation must begin
Nothing stands from the radioactive decay
Millions more begin descending from the sky
Our response has rendered them exasperated
Horror stricken defenders disintegrated
Ominous Mechanobiology
From the outer reaches of space they have arrived
They have arrived and we cannot stand in their way
For what purpose have they come
To what end do they seek with our destruction
Cowering at the feet of angry gods
Humanity reduced to rubble
