LoVINg the Alien

His last memories as a whole man?

Running. A strip of sun-bright sand that could've been a beach. Bullets whizzing left and right, passing within inches of his ear.

His feet splashed water. Cold. Without thought, he turned and plunged into the surf. Dove down. Hunted cover. Bullets splashed next to him.

Muffled by the water: an engine's roar.

Darkness.
