Already the effects of the alcohol made her feel ill
but could not let her friends down
she was having fun their night had only just begun
loud laughter everyone swaying
a regular Saturday night out drunk on a city street
a buzz she believed could not be beat!
Crowded music was loud adding to the excitement
no hint of any dangers close by
though their laughter would soon no longer be heard
panic replacing joyous banter
revellers were talking as junks of masonry began to fall
a beast soon their flesh would maul!
A huge dark shape swooped from thick cloudy skies
colliding with many their bodies shattered
crushing them with its claws and razor-sharp beak
at first they could not comprehend
hundreds scattered from this an unexpected scene
with images understandably obscene!
It was jumping and flying down amongst the buildings
as many disintegrated in its wake
others were instantly snatched by the long sharp claws
at such a speed was impossible to tell
at a party being held at a night club on its roof top bar
he was filming a situation so very bizarre!
There originally to record the celebrations of the guests
his attention quickly drawn away
glimpses of the attacker looked like a prehistoric beast
those around were panicking
as the night lit up with what seemed glowing spheres
from space adding to their fears!
Chaos reigned above human noise a deafening cry
that put those fleeing into a frenzy
some fell from the roofs others just lost rationality
all the time he filmed as he ran
tripping over the falling self-preservation his aim
no way in the vicinity could remain!
But with a few from the party tried so hard to escape
the army blocked their only route
firing with no hope of success at the swooping thing
huge yet so agile and aggressive pursuit
through the underground managed to leave the scene
then danger that was unforeseen!
Thinking it would be safe to go back up on street level
had not account for more of these invaders
as they were picked off one by one the camera rolled
even when knocked unconscious
the others fatally wounded until the breaking of day
their bodies spirited away!
He awoke weak unable to move at these aliens mercy
knew there was no chance of rescue
going into shack his soul was nearly ready to depart
the best swooped and he was gone
the video camera fell upon the rubble strewn ground
no longer part of this battleground!
It would be sometime before his footage came to light
the young woman survived her nightmare plight!
But it would be a long bloody fight to victory!
