The Roswell Cafe smelled like old
people and stale aftershave. The chicken fried steak was good, but I'd had
better...
I walked outside to light up a smoke, when suddenly, out from behind the wooden
indian, this bug-eyed, bearded homeless guy accosts me and shoves this gaseous
little globe in my hand.
"They're gonna kill us all!" he whispers, then he runs around the
back of the cafe, past a cheap hotel and into an old abandoned Phillips 66
station.
Moments later,
I heard a scream, and the muffled sound of gunfire.
I knew he was dead.
I knew now that everything that I'd heard about this place was true...
I walked back into the cafe for one more cup of java, furtively clutching
the greenorb in my jacket. I sat down, pulled it out, and examined the little
alien fetus inside. I thought about how ironic it was that out of all the
people in this world, that guy entrusted me with his lifes mission, hoping
to expose the conspiracy that drove him into madness...
What a fuckin idiot.
Christ, this little Martian makes a bitchen Xmas ball!
