I was a little old but still a teenager. I was fighting aliens that were trying to take over Earth along with my Dad and two Uncles. We were out smarting them by leading them into a mine drain where they would go in but couldnt fit to get out the other end. Then we would blow them up once they were inside. We had almost killed them all in our section when we got word from friends that there were more in the next city. So we had to go there and figure out a way of saving them people. But once we got there most everyone was already dead. We were hiding and being cautious like the Seals Marines and Snipers do. We saw a forrest need us and started distracting them into it. Once inside we set the perimeter of the forrest on fire where they were trapped inside and burned to death. We were listening to their cries when I woke up. |
