Arthur C. Clarke once said, ”Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” Today, you found out that it was the second possibility that was true.

People keep asking: "Why don't we ever go back to the moon?" Well, they got what they asked for. Turned out we had not done certain objectives back in the '72 mission , primarily due to time crunches. If you already didn't realize, we went back up to the moon.

Everything went smoothly... well, until it didn't. You had completed the objectives given and were ready to return to the ship and return to the big blue dot. Until you and your crew noticed something... strange. Before, this part of the moon was completely flat... no rocks, hell, even no craters... but, where'd that rock come fro-

It all happened in a blink of an eye... your crew and friends were ripped apart. One was turned into a donut (punched a hole through the body) and the other's head AND spine was ripped out, their helmet still attached.. then, the alien (oddly enough, the woman shaped one) turned to you... she had blood on her hands, her chin.. she had your friends' blood all over her body... but when she got to you, she was smiling, and put her bloody hands on your helmet... but she... didn't rip your head off..? What?

Her: "... :)"

Her red eyes were practically piercing through your soul.. hell, she probably actually could pierce through your body with them.
