Alien Invasion

I don’t have a basement there’s no hills here to run to no caves for miles around haven’t stockpiled tins of beans or tomatoes or peach slices panic buying hasn’t been bought no guns no knives except cutlery and I’m not a film star getting out of impossibilities saving the world with nice teeth so I guess I’ll just stay in bed or pull up a chair watching it all eating crisps

Remember the original War of the Worlds? If I were you I'd eat fresh garlic and hope they can't stand the smell of your breath

I probably should have put a drink of water in there too because they don't like water according to the movie Signs, good idea about the garlic though

I think that is for the best. It's a well known fact that crisps deter aliens.
