ALIEN INVASION
They appeared
out of a shimmering heat-wave and overran the town by sheer weight of numbers.
The townsfolk were powerless to prevent them billeting themselves in every house.
The
creatures loved heat, turning off air-conditioning and basking in the sun like
lizards. They took many specimens from the countryside, but when they stole
human DNA for an inter-breeding programme, there was talk of killing them
despite the risk. Wiser souls said “Wait – Mother Nature will sort them out.”
It snowed
unseasonably early that year, and as the aliens staggered to their ship, the
townsfolk broke every egg into a snowdrift.
