A very Unfunny Sc-Fi story

My TV doesn't work, F*ck the aliens

DO YOU KNOW WHAT the smell of a person that's been turned into bloody red vapor smells like?

Bloody disgusting

Ha ha, that was a good joke i pulled. Though in the situation im in i suppose i should be weeping at least a tear for what just happened. I dont know whats more unsettling, the fact that an Alien machine grinded my parents to mush and spewed them up as vapor, or the fact that a alien machine tore apart the house, destroying all of my precious work, and then killed them.

I was hunkered in the remains of the basement, hiding in a cardboard box, shivering.

Now you must be wondering why i'm here. Slowly freezing to death, breathing the cold, disgusting blood air that my parents are made of.

Let's start from the beginning

~~~

I used to live alone you know, in my tiny little apartment. Small neighbourhood. Went to my regular high school. I was pretty much average. Average height, common brown eyes, and black hair. Like in heck i was average in almost every way. There should have been a large sign posted on my back saying: I'M THE MOST AVERAGE A PERSON CAN GET

It was around two, no, three weeks ago the invasion happened. It wasn't your average saucers, and martian tripods or whatever the hell in some books.

This was a proper, organized, extermination.

They announced the Extermination on any device, cell phone, TV. anything that can give off sound. I was watching the trailer of Venom. Quite a movie i wanted to watch, but sadly, there aren't any probable people alive anymore to run a movie theater anyways.

I was settled on the couch, boringly watching the trailer. My expression was pretty much the same. And then the TV went black. I panicked for a few seconds, wondering if i'll have to replace the TV, like hell. I worked hard for that TV if it dies on me what will happen in episode 12 of Seven deadly sins!

Then the Screen turned to static, and a voice, that was slightly hard to understand spoke.

"ATTENTION, YOU VERMIN WILL BE SUBJECTED TO EXTERMINATION, SURRENDER YOUR WEAPONS AND FACE EXTERMINATION, THE VIRUS THAT PLAGUES THIS WORLD WILL BE ERADICATED BY US, THE SCOURGE THAT WILL CLEANSE THIS WORLD OF YOU FILTH", I was pretty surprised about this. Aliens? The hell?

The sentence was repeated for the next five hours.

And then the TV simply shut down. Actually everything shut down, every cell phone, TV, electronic equipment, lights, everything. Stopped working. I was still settled on the couch so I heaved myself up, and gave my TV a couple slaps to the side, but to no avail. It didn't work.

I was pretty bummed. An alien invasion, screw that, I wanted to be an author. Well, most of my written stuff are at my parents house.

I decided to pack some things and head to my parents house, hoping it would be better to stay there than in that apartment, it couldn't even shield me against the cold properly, and the heaters broken...

On my five mile walk to my parents house, I saw many people outside of their cars, which had ceased to function. My guess is that these 'aliens' cause an EMP disrupting electronic equipment.

Once I reached the house, it was there I was met with open arms. My father pulled me into a deep hug, "we were worried about you", he said, his glasses glinted in the evening sun. it seems the breakfast they were supposed to eat hasn't been touched.

My mother sat next to me on a chair and leaned her head on my shoulder, "we were worried that voice, or whatever, it said it would exterminate us,'' she said worried about me. With a sigh i gave the best smile i could, "don't worry, we will be alright".

And over the course of five days, the Aliens made their move. Already, the government saw these aliens as a threat. They're gigantic ship, which was parked in high orbit, seemed to have sent thousands of little cocoon like structures. They were each bigger than a four story building.

They were dormant for about two days, and that's when the machines awakened.

They broke out of the cocoon. These machines were each unique in their appearance, but had the normal four legs, as well as the tendrils. They always had a sort of saucer like build on the top. And two barrel like protrusions right under the saucer hull.

These machines were fast, and seemed to be agile, even though being so large, and seemingly bulky. The closest cocoon to me and my family was three kilometers away, fallen into an abandoned warehouse. Unfortunately, the idiots that decided to poke, prod, and graffiti the cocoon ultimately perished. These machines, I nicknamed, "the sterilization machine", a fitting name, since they decided to exterminate them. It was after about a week after the machines went around killing everything with their tendrils, i thought that was the only weapon. Until i saw it use its actual weapon.

Two abrams tanks, accompanied by fifteen marines were traversing the neighbourhood, they had been stationed in my town to find and destroy the sterilization machine. I silently followed them, i was stalking them for about eight miles. By they had reached the highways, unbeknownst the them, i was hiding behind cars, and buildings.

That's when i saw the hulking Alien war machine.

Its red saucer like hull came out of nowhere, its four legs firmly planted on the ground. Each of its legs at the end had four smaller tendrils, that help spread out its weight, and allow increased mobility.

I hid under a barack sudan and watched. The tanks were destroyed before they even aimed. The marines hopelessly shot at the alien machine, but the bullets didn't even scratch it, they just got deflected right off. It was like throwing a pillow at a tank.

A weird tendril emerged from the saucer hull, it was retangular and blocky. It aimed at the tanks, and a blinding red light came from the tendril. It must be some sort of laser based weapon. Because the tank was molten. You couldn't even call it a tank.

The marines were simply vaporized by the laser, and their weapons turned into molten metal.

I silently hid under the car as the hulking alien machine passed by the car i was under without noticed me.

That was the first time i saw these machines.

I call them the Scourge. Our extinction is near.
