SPOILER ALERT: Doomsday. If you haven't seen Doomsday, watch it before you read this! You should watch it anyway cuz it's awesome :)

I got the message on the psychic paper at about the same time as the Cybermen came. All it said was "Stay inside, stay safe." Until that day there was still a small part of me that didn't fully believe his story, the whole 'time travel in space' thing. But then they came, the ghosts in the street forming into these metal men. They were in my street, I could hear their marching and the people screaming. Luckily there weren't any in my apartment, none of the 'ghosts' had ever visited me. I knew there were some in my building though, I had overheard some of my neighbors talking about their 'ghosts'. I hid in my bedroom, there were no windows and only one way in. I kept the lights off and the television low so I could keep an eye on the news.

I felt so vulnerable, afraid that one of those monsters would come crashing through my door and all I would have to protect me was some psychic paper. Clutching my pillow and the paper, staring wide-eyed at the screen, I was terrified.

Suddenly the screen fuzzed out, then the picture came back. But it was one of those Cybermen, addressing the world.

"This broadcast is for human kind. Cybermen now occupy every land mass on this planet, but you need not fear. Cybermen will remove fear. Cybermen will remove sex, and class, and color, and greed. You will become identical, you will become like us."

And the screen fuzzed out again. The streets exploded with gun fire and what I can only describe as laser fire. A sob escapes my throat, a terribly desperate sound.

"Doctor, do something." I manage to squeak out, hopelessly grasping the psychic paper, hoping by some chance that he'll get the message. Thinking about the Doctor reminds me of something he did, the last time he was here.

"I tried to make your remote more sonic."

I rush as quietly as possibly into my living room, grab the remote, some frantic part of my brain thinking there might be some way to get some secret, government channel. Just to get some answers. I press a button that wasn't there until the Doctor got his hands on the remote. But I didn't expect it to work.

What looks like some kind of storage room appears on my screen, and I can hear the marching of the Cybermen in the background. This weird, tank-like thing comes from around the corner. It's more of a robot than anything living, with some kind of eye-stalk coming out of the upper part of it, and what looks like a plunger and a whisk coming from its middle.

"Identify yourselves!" It screams, the lights on its top lighting as it speaks.

"You will identify first." I hear a Cyberman say from off camera.

"State your identity!"

"You will identify first."

"Identify!"

"Geez…" I mutter, hoping to God that this is real and not some crappy sci-fi show.

"Daleks do not take orders!" The robot screams.

"You have identified as Daleks." The Cyberman responded.

I watch as the two aliens bicker back and forth, hoping that the Doctor is wherever they are, and trying to stop them. The screen fuzzes out, after the 'Dalek' shouts "Exterminate!"

"Great." I sigh, wishing I had seen the Doctor. Just the possibility that he might be there, might be able to do something, makes me feel a little safer. Of course, he might not be there. We might not be safe.

I crawl across the room to look out my window. All the Cybermen have started marching away, all in the same direction. Moments later, those Daleks start flying through the air, destroying everything and everyone they can.

Suddenly I hear a familiar marching outside my door- a Cyberman. I scramble to my feet, tripping over myself and falling back to the floor. The door is blasted down, the Cyberman stomping through.

"Doctor, please." I sob, knowing it's no use.

"You will become like us." The Cyberman drones, pointing its fist at me.

I scream, covering my head with my arms.
