TAKEOVER by Granny Annie
The prisoners had to walk in the desert, pushed by dangerous Aliens dictating horrible treatment. Their guards behaved as violent machos. Each captive's skin had turned pebble grey. Their eyes were supported by dark bags. It all had to be a dream, rather a nightmare, on their fading planet. As they marched they believed this would last an infinity. After only four days many friends had fallen behind.They were left in piles of broken limbs and devoured flesh. The few who lived were packed into containers, lifted into the sky, never to be seen on earth again.
The prompts will be on Elephants Child this month, provided by Sean Jeating.
