falling skies

BEFORE
Aliens. Some of us saw it coming. The people standing on the corner of the street with the signs shouting 'the end is coming,' some of us thought they were crazy. A lot of us thought they were crazy. They were wrong. It was nearly six months ago when the invasion had begun. All military bases, planes, ships, submarines, everything was taken out. There are no soldiers left. The capitols came next, all simultaneously exploding into craters of nothing. Then they got here. We call them Skitters, because we simple have no other name for them. They started wiping us out too, killing the adults and capturing the children in these harness type things that let the Skitters be able to control them. Mass murder and mind control, these Skitters are great neighbors. A lot of people gave us in the early days. It was just another airing of 'War of the Worlds,' people killing themselves left and right. But there are some of us who still fight, even if it is already for a lost cause. This is our home, whether or not these Skitters like it. This is our planet. We will fight for our children, our lives, and our home. It doesn't matter if they kill us. So we survive. As long as we can and as hard as we can, we try to fight back. We have weapons, we have some food, and we have hope. Sometimes all you need is that last one to win a war. We run midnight operations to find more supplies. It doesn't matter if they kill us, just as long as we can scar them just a little.
AFTER
It was a week ago when our whole Massachusetts Militia split up into twelve groups, each of one hundred fighters and two hundred civilians. We lost contact within forty-eight hours. We began heading towards the more Mid-Western part of America, most likely anywhere between Indiana and Missouri. We have no idea how many of the other Masses made it out. We can only hope they are alive. But in reality, we have to assume we are the only ones left. We are the 12th Massachusetts, and we are going to survive, because some of us saw it coming.
