I never thought that the world would come to this. Instead of going to work everyday, and going home to see my son, I'm fighting in war against aliens. The aliens have taken over the entire planet and I thought that the will wipe us of the planet. Surprisingly though, there were small pockets of resistance all around the world. These resistance movements are mostly in major cities like the one I'm in (Boston, MA).

My name is Mike Thompson, and this is my story of how I lost my son during the initial invasion and how I survived and joined a militia regiment called The 2nd Massachusetts (2nd Mass for short).

I just got back home from working at my factory job in Boston. I drive from Boston, all the way back to my house in Belmont. It's not that far of a drive but my son Rick has cystic fibrosis. He could hardly breathe and he had to be put on a nebulizer twice a day just so he could breathe. And no matter what the circumstances are, he never complained about being sick at all. He always makes me laugh and makes me forget how sick he is.

I walked up the stairs and went to my son's room. He was just finishing breathing into the nebulizer and turned to face me.

"Hey Dad"

"Hey son how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling better now."

"That's good."

I hate how my son is sick all the time. He can never go out and play like a normal kid would. He always stuck inside with the home nurse. I have taken my son Rick to so many different hospitals. I've taken him to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, John Hopkins in Baltimore, and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

"Hey Rick I'm going to a shower and get something to eat and I'll be right back ok?"

"Yeah that's fine. Can you make me a meatball sub please?"

"Of course; I'll go to Subway and get you one since were out of meatballs."

"Thanks Dad."

"No problem."

I took a quick shower and got in the car and drove to subway. I just finished ordering when all of a sudden the power went out. After the power went I saw flashes of blue lights coming from the sky. Then all of a sudden the air ships came out of nowhere and started dropping everywhere. Then other ships landed and creature and robots started coming out. These creatures had six legs and claws for hands. The robots were made of some kind of huge metal and they were also bipod.

Only one thing popped in my mind: Rick please be safe
