Encounters Out There

Franklin and Joseph were prison inmates. Both were serving life sentences for horrendous crimes.

“Hey Frank, did you hear what’s happening?”

“No, what’s going on?”

“An alien invasion.”

“Come on, Joe, I like sci-fi … Is it April 1st already?”

“Nah, bro, it’s real. They’ve been attacking cities and towns left and right.”

“So, they’re coming for us?”

“No. Apparently not. They’re kidnapping ‘able-bodied and mind’ folks. Anyone old, sick, or imprisoned they ignore.”

“So, we’re free?”

“Well, uh, I guess that’s one way to look at it. We got food, medical, and these walls and bars for our protection.”
