After about half an hour I arrived at my stop and thanked the bus driver. "Bit of a hike I've got on my hands" I sigh  to myself looking up to the mountain, due to the steep terrain and lack of sufficient roads the only people who go up there are the ones with cars who can. I begin my trek walking through someones farm and going to the base of the moutain. "Isn't weird that there'd be crop circles on top of a mountain" But as I continued to walk telltale signs of unordinary were everywhere, weird green liquid and smells that my nose nor brain could comprehend were everywhere. This is wrong, so wrong. Reaching the base of the mountain was refreshing, the rain was still pouring down but the trees were now covering most of it.

I decided to stop for a break and open my bag taking out the soggy sandwhich, the wrapping had done little to stop the water from getting to it. Oh my poor sandwhich, I took a bite, and forced the foul tasting food down my mouth with hesitation. I proceed my hike up the mountain, mud clinging to my shoes made it hard to keep going but my curiosity was more important. "My first chance to see real crop circles" I thought, I was excited, all these rumours and AI generated images on the internet or man made crop circles were about to be put to rest by this real crop circle. Suddenly I got an alert on my phone, "Strange, I don't have any reception" I thought, opening my phone. An alert to evacuate the area appeared on my phone, no wonder I was able to get notifications. Maybe I should come back a different day. I put my phone back in my pocket and looked back towards the bottom of the mountain, I'm already so far up, surely half an hour longer should be fine right? A helicopter flew over my head moments later towards the top of the mountain. The situation had sunk in, helicopter and soon to be more, maybe I really should leave, but if I do, will the mountain still be open tomorrow? Will the crop circles be gone? I decide to keep going, the sighting wasn't much further.

I finally reached it, the crop circles, this is my right to see. I came closer and closer and peaked from amongst the bushes, there it was, metres from my eyes, but it looked strange, instead of circles it was lines, they were more representative of sqaures and triangles rather than cricles albeit there were still some circles but nothing like you'd see in the movies. Something I didn't realise till just now was the people to my right, they hadn't noticed me yet and were still talking amongst themselves. Behind them were military, many of guns as well as something that appeared to be a spacecraft, but it looked like a man-made one rather than well, the UFO's you'd see in movies. Why only issue an evacuation notice now if something this major is happening? I backed up slowly, surprised i wasn't notice and quickly ran, I hadn't ran this quick since Primary School. I reached the bottom of the mountain, the rain had let up but the clouds had grown darker, despite being day it seemed like midnight had come. Like the alert asked I had begun to evacuate from the town and made my way to the bus stop. 

"Kind of you to join us kid", someone at the bus stop had said to me, his appearance was soaked in water, long hair covering his face and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on but it didn't seem right. I gave him a simple nod before sitting down on the otherside of the bus stop bench and placing my bag between my legs. Everything today was so strange, rain that didn't seem natural for this kind of weather in this season after all it was summer, a horrible tasting sandwhich, nothing like meat I had ever eaten before. A spacecraft in this tiny town of all places, military, I mean there's no military base around here for hundred's of kilometers. The bus finally arrived after what felt like hours, I boarded the bus and once again, I got a strange feeling from this man but I thought best to ignore it. I went back to my normal spot at the other end of the bus and sat down, my bag on the seat beside me. Soon, I was home. Opening the door I was greated by my family. But it wasn't them, was this house even ours? I looked around before smelling something foul, it was like rotten eggs. I gave my parents a small smile before my curiosity took over and I began to walk to the upstairs living room where the thing now acting like my dad followed. I reached my parents bedroom door, the smell ever worse, I placed my hand on the door knob and went to turn it before the thing behind me gripped my shoulder. "Don't get too curious now, what do you people say, curiosity killed the cat?". I felt a shiver down my spine, I have to open this door, I need to see.

I proceeded to open the door, the smell hitting my face almost made me pass out, unbearable. "Like the colour of the room kid?", the thing behind me asked, "We used your parents, well for more than just the paint, we sincerely hope it tasted good", the Things statement made me vomit, the meat in sandwhich didn't taste bad because it was soaked, it tasted bad because it was human flesh.
