WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a multi-POV story from the perspective of three different people across the globe looking at the same thing.

What could they all be looking at and how might they percieve it differently?

Invasion

Cooper

The sky had turned a greenish hue, and coming down were multiple small, glowing red dots. They seemed to blink too, and I could almost make out a faint saucer shaped disc flying through the air. The sky roared as the saucers invaded. I was cowering behind wheat in a field. My parents had already been taken away, but I didn’t know how it happened. A yellow light, or rather force had seemingly sucked them up, and the next thing I do, they had vanished. 

The sirens blared and repeated the same loud frequency. Then the same robotic voice spoke, warning us that extraterrestrial creatures were invading the planet. 

My heart had almost sunk the first time I heard those words, almost not wanting to believe it. I had to come to believe that what I was seeing was something out of the ordinary, and that I was defiantly not imagining it. It was below freezing outside, and I had ran outside when I had initially seen the saucers, then out of fear, ran to hide in the wheat. My parents urged me to get back inside, but before that, they had been taken swiftly and violently, their bodies flying into the air, catapulted upward into space where who knows how many more saucers resided. I never thought the world would come to this, but here I am, watching the end of the world unfold right in front of me.

The city was not the best place to be in the situation, and I hadn’t even finished my skin care routine in time before the sirens commenced. I scrambled to look outside, wondering what the heck could be happening. What my eyes saw was pure fear, and it was something I had been dreaming for years. The end of the world. 

These flying discs or saucer-shaped things flew through the air, causing miles upon miles of destruction. Beams of light shot down from the discs before they hit some of the large skyscrapers. I scrambled to hide as the glass shattered all at once and smoke plumed into the air, clouds obscuring the once warm, bright blue sky in a layer of smoke. Debris flew into my home, crashing through the outside siding and smashing through a window before finally losing momentum. Cars were flown into the air with a certain gracefulness, people inside screaming and scrambling to escape out, but the door was sealed shut. I just watched from a bunker that I had built, specifically for this situation. It was almost like I had predicted the future…

The countryside was always a warm, vast expanse with just miles of farming and corn. Other crops were harvested, but lots and lots of corn. I had never expected to have my cows taken away by some alien creatures, and when they started flowing toward my farm, I shut my phone off and ran outside to examine the situation. 

There were no sirens in the area, and the closest one had to be at least 100 miles away, but their sounds echoed all around me. And as I stared into the sky, I realized I was already being pulled upward before being flown up into the air. Then my back hit something metal; I was inside the discs…
