Teddy Bear Apocalypse

I first encountered the aliens when I was out foraging with Harv and Stan. I didn’t really see them, there was just an electric whirr, a beam of blue light, and suddenly Harv was… different. He didn’t move. His glassy eyes never blinked. I’d say he was dead, but it was like he was never alive.

“What the hell was that, Stan?” I turned to him, but they’d gotten him too, and I now could hear the whirring sound just over my head. So I ran deep into the forest, ducking from tree to tree until I lost them.

And then I remembered. Vanessa. The kids. They were waiting for me back at the house. I had to get to them, warn them. I bolted there as fast as I could, but I was too late. Dammit, I was too late.

We’ll all be Build-A-Bears soon, Andrew Y.

      I want to upvote this comment a gazillion times. The story is straight out of one of those sci-fi movies from the 50s. Mike, I love the way your brain works.

      Also, who has seen the new TV ad from Match.com with the girl called 2-0-2-0 and her new boyfriend?? It’s hysterical and they just released a follow-up commercial that’s just as funny.

    They’re making movie adaptions out of everything Steven King’s written these days.
