They Came From the Outer Space

A Poem by itsnotnatural

"Systems are back online"
"79 seconds till impact"
"78... 77... 76... 75... 74... 73...

Careening down at 88 degrees
A very high albedo
Coming from the sand below
Life support's back on
The magnetic disease is gone

The light woke everyone up
But it wasn't enough
Time to react
Their minds still intact

40 seconds left
To prepare the ship
Their wide awake
But still asleep

"Warning. no atmosphere detected outside"
The captain closed his eyes
"We will not survive"
He muttered under his breath

"Impact in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
