She felt the silence drop over the train carriage, it is unusual to feel the absence of noise, but her toes curled and jaw clenched as all noise disappeared. She certainly felt something.
It wasnt unusual for this to happen in her town, the trains would switch off going past residential areas late at night, and briefly would only be powered by momentum. It was unusual however for her to feel and ...
“You humans speak so much of love, I would like to see it” the Alien asks, their eyes settling on you in a vaguely unsettling way.

Uncle Simon had always been peculiar, and always will be. It was fun on Christmas day and birthday parties, never knowing what you’ll be gifted or what fun story he’ll have - Stories that make you question whether he’s really just making it all up.
