gigantic mountains
04/28/2026 14:58h
when aliens come to the earth they will land on top of gigantic mountains they will see the people everywhere each alien will communicate telepathically with another alien on the opposite side of the sphere that is its clone and itself at the same time like an atom in quantum physics the same alien in two places at once and this multiplied by millions on top of gigantic mountains 'the strategy is to destroy humans' each alien will tell itself and its clone humans will understand this strategy once the killing started, immediately happening in two places on opposite ends of the world at once, an alien and itself murdering two humans by looking at their faces then that happening repeatedly or something for some amount of time the humans falling over and their faces hitting the pavement or the carpet, or the grass or the side of a coffee table on some dog shit * there will be resistance soldiers on all parts of the earth will fight with lasers citizen militias will hold resistance meetings a resistance against death a no-death resistance a movement for death later a movement for a different, still-uncontrollable death 'humans don't want to die this way' will be their manifesto, one sheet of paper or a piece of cardboard or something * there will be humans in basements looking at each other wandering, solitary humans that want more to find another human than to avoid dying solitary, severely depressed and/or enlightened humans that commit suicide by seeking out alien faces and looking at them; these humans may feel happy inside an insane nervous breakdown humans that kill other humans because they feel insane humans that sit in a corner, feeling extremely small, maybe considering intense killing rampages/some indefinable, positive emotion for humanity humans that watch tv, use the internet to read the newspaper, and drive their cars around; they will be motionless on couches with their eyes open * the fish and insects and trees will have the ocean and the forest pretty sure they won't care
