The light above her head flickers and dims. The little, painted stars glow soothingly overhead. Again, she is reminded of the monster under the bed, the heat of fear rising in her stomach as it prepares to pounce on her, and the glaring red eyes of the clothing-monster, stalking her from the corner of her distant memories. But, Rose wonders, what does one do when you are the monster?
Humanity’s only thread of hope is a young girl named Rose. Is she the promise to a cure, or the key to ultimate destruction?
Based on a true event.
On February 24th 1942 ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’ began when the 37th Coastal Artillery Brigade opened fire on a spacecraft of alien origin.
This is one account of what transpired in the days to follow.

Rose whimpers and tears trail from her eyes. The woman who had once come to her rescue, the woman she had loved like the mother she’d never known, has caught a spear, deep in her back. The barrier has finally failed.

The last rays of the sun are dowsed behind the mountains, and the buds in her hair have all blossomed into beautiful, but deadly flowers in the moonless evening. The stars are beginning to peep out one by one.

Dr. Shaw falls to the hull, hopeless and beaten.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Shaw,” says Rose. Delicate golden-red pollen, from her blooms, catches a ride on a gust of wind and blows toward the Red Queen and her Army. They are preparing to launch their spears and destroy Rose and the remaining human. “We’ll die you know, but the Turned-children will create a new world after the evil is cleansed from it.”

“Self-sacrifice is a noble and human quality. Where did you learn it?” Asks Shaw.

“From Major Connors’s Bible. A man they called Jesus. Goodbye, Dr. Shaw,” she says, as the last of her pollen blows through the angry Queen’s ranks. They are infected with a deadly pathogen, and they’ll all be gone before the sun rises.

The spears are launched and fill the air with a death sentence. Rose looks toward the twinkling stars, and she imagines herself far away, gazing into the Milky Way, above her, on the ceiling of the world.

She’s a happy little girl.
