Danica's Locust: A Short Story
It all started when Danica couldn't sleep. Something was keeping her awake. She got up ghostly and quiet.
She wasn’t very big for being 10 years old, she was 4'8 also about 60 pounds. Danica was considered one of the smartest people in her grade. She was a beautiful young lady with big ice-berg colored eyes along with bright blonde hair chopped to her shoulders. She learned to tie her shoes at the age of 3 and could make her own pancakes at the age of 5! Her mother, Helen, died when she was only 6. Thinking of her execution by cancer was wistful...

faucet and twists the cold water knob, she was really thirsty. She then pulled up her purple, fluffy chair up to the back porch's sliding glass door to look over the town of Samville, Texas.
She sat there sipping away at her cold water, then suddenly something caught her eye, she was looking at the sky at the stars a plane there was a pattern of 3 lights, revolving around each other it was just for a slight second. Joining, then merging, joining, merging. She kinda just wiped it off and thought nothing of it. Something drew her attention to a plane with a red blink on the left and a green light on the right. She watched the plane make its way slowly through the sky. There were blocks falling out of the plane and suddenly... explosions.
She screamed to her dad “Daddy! Daddy!” as Joe was rushing down the stairs ,almost slipping he rushed over to Danica picking her up also gazing down at the town furious blaze of orange including red. Joel ordered Danica to get in the car, it was a crimson Jeep wrangler. Joel rushed out of the house with a Colt M1911 handgun on his hip in an AR-15 with a Leupold scope including a Magpul grip.
Joel ordered Uncle Danny to be waiting through the walkie talkie outside when they got there. Danica was wondering how or uncle Daniel and her father we're already talking, as they pulled into uncle Danny's driveway he threw another AR-15 in the back seat next to Danica. They sped down the hill not caring about what they left behind or whatever was in front of them, not even wildlife. They came to a vicious halt, almost rear rending a chain of cars.
Uncle Danny said to go around the line of cars, but Danica suggested that they should just get out of the car and walk so airplanes didn't notice them.
Joel agreed with Danica, so they got out of the Jeep quietly, not knowing it would be their last ride in it, and walked through a swampy ditch and to the outskirts of the town.
They were running so they couldn't hear the nearby voices. Voices of the terror group called The Locust. Locust were the meanest men in the world they were a terror group, killing people for no reason. They were basically a coterie when they are purchased the town flash lights shone right into their eyes like staring right into the sun, there were people ordering for Joel, Danica and Danny to get on their knees, and hands on their heads. They listened In trouble the Locust stripped them of their weapon's and searched them for who knows what else.
Most people would say that every story ends with a happy ending. You would be very wrong to think that. Flashlights shining in their eyes... into their innocent faces. They were all staring into the barrel of an AK-47. Joel begged not to be killed. Just let the others go, as Danica had tears rolling down her cheeks and neck and while Danny said absolutely nothing with a flushed white face. She was scared. Danica thought “What is next?” They didn’t know. They begged and
begged.
Then, everyone stopped. Beams of light, beating down on them like the hot desert sun. The pose rose and rose and rose. Being blinded by the brightness of silver and white. Was this some kind of prank? They were prisoners now. Prisoners of big eyed, little grey people. All 3 in the group were screaming. They felt a sting in their neck. Their vision faded and went to black. They could feel but couldn’t see. It felt as if they were floating and set onto a platform of some sort. They heard a noise. It reminded her of the sound of her father's air compressor when no one used it after about 15 minutes or so. They were really cold, so she tried moving to gain just a little bit of heat, but also to inspect what was in front of her so reaching was the best option to “see” what was in front of her. She couldn’t move. Danica felt her heart rate go lower and lower. She was still conscious, but barely. She felt like crying. She was scared and lost in the abyss of absolute nothingness.
