Sometimes I sit back and wonder why. It’s a simple question, it goes along with about four other questions that tend to get answered at the same time. The four w’s and the h. You know the ones I’m talking about: Who What When Where How Yeah, something like that. Okay, so why isn’t in that list apparently. Maybe we should add it to the list so it’s the five w’s and the one h. Now that would be a good thing, wouldn’t it? I sure hope it would be, if it’s not then there’s something to actually worry about. Well I didn’t put why in the list apparently, it should be in there I think? Who, what, when, where, why, and how? Yeah that makes more sense to me. I mean why wouldn’t we include the word why? That’s what I was thinking! There are a lot of why’s in this life. Why’s I don’t have answers to. Why’s I would love to have answers to. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon and I am at a loss for words. I don’t like it when I’m this way, so I try not to be this way very much. Yet...
Jim looked out the window of his fortieth floor apartment suite. It wasn’t every day he had the grand view of an alien invasion. Life just wasn’t going to be the same anymore after today. He sipped on his tea and smiled. Why should it be the same? He thought. Life never did him any favors.
As Jim took another sip of his tea, his phone rang. He walked over to a large oak desk and picked up the receiver. “Yes.” He said.
The woman on the other end of the line was hysterical. “Jim! Jim! They’re here!”
Jim laughed. “Yes Gertrude, I know. I watched them land on the Empire State Building. Quite a site if you ask me.”
“But but…” Gertrude continued. “What do they want? What are we going to do about it?!” She was panicked and rightfully so.
Jim shrugged as he placed a hand in his pocket. “They want to rule over us, it can’t be that bad now Gertrude, can it? I mean they probably see what kind of a mess we’ve gotten ourselves in and just want to help. I’m sure it will be fine. We aren’t going to do anything, I’m going to sit back, relax, and watch it all unfold.” He hung up the phone.
Silly woman, Jim thought, she’ll understand soon enough.
That’s when the meteors began falling down all around the Earth. They hit wherever they landed executing people in their path. Jim sighed. Maybe letting the aliens in on Earth’s home coordinates hadn’t been a good plan after all. Who knows how many of these…creatures were about to land.
