Alienation

The invading alien came near. A harbinger of ill will I thought, paralyzed with overwhelming fear that it was our abduction he sought. I called on all the spirits I knew, vampires, mages, goblins, and a ghost; a town hall meeting with the whole crew, I gloomily guessed we were all toast. There will be no blood feasting tonight, no trickery, nor ghastly grim acts. We must expel this hideous sight before our consciousness he extracts. Our stance is extra cautionary– defy his diabolical plan. Be strong and judiciously wary, and vote ‘Yea’ for an Alien Ban. The alien arose and stood tall. “Hey dudes, chill. I'm not evil, nor mean. I came here only to wish you all a neighborly Happy Halloween!”
