Son of a b***h

Just a crazy idea that came to my head

Son Of A B***h

By Shawn P Cassidy

I remember the night when I looked to the skies,

A shimmering light pulling fear to my eyes.

It twisted and flickered with supernatural shine,

A beacon of terror disguised as divine.

My breath turned to frost as it hovered above,

A nightmare pretending to fall from love.

Then the light split open--a silent, sharp tear,

And something stepped out that was never meant here.

A little green creature with hunger in its stare,

Its shadow stretched long in the cold midnight air.

I bolted in panic, heart ready to burst,

But the creature gave chase like it wanted me first.

Its footsteps were tiny but fast as a curse,

Each second behind me grew steadily worse.

Lasers shot past me in murderous streams,

Lighting the forest in flickering beams.

I stumbled and scrambled, no plan in my head,

Just trying my best not to wind up dead.

I turned in the darkness, prepared for the fight,

And faced the small monster that fell from the light.

It froze for a moment--a glitch in its mind,

A second of stillness no hunter should find.

I lunged with the terror of a man near his end,

And struck the invader who dared to descend.

His weapon dropped hard from the grip of his hand.

I blinded his eyes with the kick of some sand.

I walked from the forest with trembling breath,

A survivor who stared down an alien death.

And though I escaped with my life from that glitch…

I’ll never forget that relentless son of a b***h.
