You sit hunched over in your armchair, head in your hands. The radio next to you is silent, the broadcast you had been listening to cut short by sickening screams.
You sit in complete silence, mind struggling to comprehend what you just heard.
...
Then it happens.
The world stands still as you register the sound of your dog barking; growling and snarling at the nearest window. In the distance, minuet, but still there, an ominous whirling.
Your mind tells you you're in danger. Despite not seeing it you know what it is.
Everything you heard on the radio; the descriptions of monsters, no, aliens, and their vicious advance on Earth... Everything is true.
You reckon with your thoughts and the world comes crashing back to you. You haven't much time before they get to your home, you need to leave... But where to?
...
A) The wooded flatlands just a few paces past your backyard, though you have on many occasions seen coyotes wandering out from the woods B) Down the dirt road to the nearest town, there may be traveling supplies there, but who's to say it hasn't been all bought up by now C) Nowhere, you instead hunker down with your dog in preparation of what's to come
