I felt my stomach in my mouth, and the cold wind sent a chill up my spine. I could not compare anything to the stench of scorched human flesh.

I shouldn’t have stayed. I thought I could bare the horror, but it was heavier than I expected.

I wished I could help the soldiers, but all I had was a bicycle and two hands. The alien had tentacles, sharp teeth, and not to mention a laser rifle. I felt like a coward listening to these brave men screaming in agony.

Frozen, I wondered why I had to carry this burden?
