ok. I know most of this stuff is funny and please feel free to tell me to delete this if it doesn’t fit the vibe, but it’s been a while since I posted and I figured I’d post this while finishing up another couple stories I’m writing. But essentially, what if aliens saw us and instead of being awed by our determination, they fed off of it? Intergalactic energy vampires
We thought that they would come at us from above with laser beams and flying saucers like in the movies. Thought that they would be a threat that we could fight off with guns, pitchforks, and torches.
But they didn't, and they cant
The scary part is that we don't even know where they came from. Don't know what they look like, or even who their leader is. But we do know what they want. They’ve made that abundantly clear.Â
They took over our radios, TVs and phones months ago and filled them with a repeating message about what they wanted. They wanted us. They wanted our life forces to feed their dying planet. They wanted our will and determination, because they knew we had it. Knew we’d fight and fight and fight until our bodies gave out or our minds broke, and our minds don't break.Â
We never saw them coming. Never saw them leave with the planes that they plucked out of the air or the ships they picked out of the sea. We never saw them hurt anyone. Hell, even when they took over our electronics, they let the hospital equipment go. After all, what's the point of killing us? If we die without the planet taking out lives, that death will be in vain. We wouldn't feed the dying planet. Wouldn't fill their starving stomachs. Wouldn't satiate that unending hunger and need that they take and take and take, because they can't replenish it themselves.Â
Yeah, we try to fight it. We send decoy planes and ships with sacrifices carrying bombs. We plead, we pray, we cry and scream at the losses of those we thought would be there forever. And yet we never back down. Never bend. They wouldn't believe us subservient anyways. And that's what they want. What they came for. Our hatred, our fire. Our fear and our wrath. At ourselves, at each other. At them.Â
We feed them. And we can't stop it. We won't stop it.Â
