Shadows On a White Wall

Walking down a street in the factory district Suddenly - a shadow appears and blocks our light from the streetlamps Then - the sound of steps - we are being followed We see shadows on a freshly painted wall We try to move quickly to a safe spot But it's too late! Engulfed by an alien being - we are filled with terror In this unreal city we feel slimy arms around us We are too terrified to even cry out - We're engulfed by a massive creature Terrfying moments - Can we escape? Too late? We are the next meal of a shadowy creature Who came from another solar system andour fragile forms Soon come to a shadowy end
