SACRIFICIAL LAMB
Daddy, daddy, James called out at the top of his lungs. With a loud voice, he shouted; they are already here, they are here to get you.
From a distance, it could be seen clearly that the space ships of earths inhabitants were about to enter the atmosphere of planet Elocthrech which was bought and inhabited by Harris and his family as well as some selected few.
Upon landing in the planet, a disinfectant was sprayed on the spaceship. Family secured, guns drawn, two pointers fixated on the target, one from James the eldest son, and the other from Harris.
Upon disembarking the space vehicle, an antiviral dart was shot at the visitors to be sure that the planet and it's occupants are safe from earths corruption.
When discussing in the conference room, it was found that the year is 2055. A time when many inhabitable planets have been discovered. Time travel has been made possible, but the risk outweighs the benefits, thus, it's use is abolished.
One time, the time machine was illegally used, it exposed the earths coordinates to an alien specie. Nobody knew about the invasion, untill they took over the minds of our leaders. Seeing this, most people decided to flee from earth to other habitable planets but some remained, resisting the aliens.
The condition of earth is depreciating rapidly as every body is gradually becoming mindless zombies. Looking up, you don't know where to head to, to the left where the zombie virus has taken over the brains of our leaders, turning them into mindless zombies that think only of their pockets, stomachs and nothing else. Selfishness and greediness is the order of the day. To the right? Nothing is left. People are suffering, price of goods high, basic necessities for living can not be gotten unless you are in the elite class. A class that is taken over by the aliens.
Earths inhabitants have come to Harris home of residence, bringing with them and offer - join us to resist the aliens in our homes.
How are we going to resist these strong opponents? Harris asked while looking confused.
The leader of the trip went further to explain; we found a way to eradicate these aliens once and for all, but there is a catch.
What is? Is there a price to pay? Let's pay it ones and for all so we can live together as we used to. Harris replied, with hope in his eyes.
Leader looks down, looks at the people he came with, stares at nothing for a few seconds, takes a deep breath and released carbon dioxide engulfed in sadness. The room silent, the hopes in Harris eyes began to depreciate as he asked again, what is it? in a not so confident tone.
Leader said; the price is that, all those taken over by the aliens will have to die along side the aliens. There is no other way but this. About 30% of earths population have been taken over, losing that amount will have some effects on the world.
With a straight face, Harris asked, okay? We make sacrifices on a daily basis. Though this involves human lives, is still no different. It's a small price to pay s as to save our beloved planet. Even if it means me, dieing for this course, I will do it with a smile on my face.
After much back and forth, a conclusion was made to sacrifice 30% of earths population, to save the remainder from their pain and suffering.
Preparations were made and the operation was successfully carried out. Some people returned to earth, while some remained in the planet the live in.
