You lived a very normal life with your single mother. She loved you dearly and always tried her best to give you a good life even though it was difficult at times.
She had been a bit on edge lately because of who knows what, but you didn’t question non the less.
You lived in Washington DC, USA’s capital and you were right in the centre, it was very busy place.
You had been put to bed by your mother but for some reason you just couldn’t sleep that night. You played with your toys as you heard your mom watching tv downstairs.
That was until you heard a loud boom from outside as the house rattled.
What was that..? A meteor? You always wanted to see one of those.
But just as you were thinking the place shook once again as multiple ‘booms’ went off, your toys falling, the walls cracking and the bit above you even started to fall. Things kept falling as the sky looked orange.
“Mommy..?!” you yelled as loudly as you could. You started crying as she didn’t call back, she always came when you yelled for her…
As something fell on your head you yelped and fell to the ground, something warm dripped down your face.
Slowly, you got up and ran out your room down the steps, your eyes widened as a bunch of weird looking men surrounded your mother who lay unmoving, crushed under something.
“She’s dead.” one of them confirmed before looking at you.
“It’s a kid.” another said.
“So what?! Kill it and get out of here!” another commanded.
Then something scary looking was pointed at you.
“Mommy?!” *you yelled but she didn’t answer.
“Shut up kid!” one yelled as you winced sobbing violently.
Suddenly loud shooting sounds rang out as the big scary men fell to the ground, red pouring out of them.
Four men poured inside with the scary weapons pointed as they looked around, eventually their eyes fell on you.
“Fucking hell…” a guy with a weird mask said and lowered his gun, the rest of the men followed.
“We’ve got you kid..” a man with a thick beard said softly while kneeling down.
