THE LIONS DEN

The earthling stood and watched as the ships parted the mists.
He was calm for his people had been here since time began.
They were as old as the cow and the sheep.
He stood a striking figure in the sun a it glinted off his skin.
Another figure appeared beside him and yet another and soon there were 5 earthlings standing and watching the vessels arrive.
They hear the sound as the aliens dropped anchor climbed into smaller floating things came ashore and planted their idol in the sand.
Kneeling down they paid a strange obeisance to it.
These strange beings that looked like the exiles talked of in village lore.
Those thrown out because of the curse that they carried.
The lack of Melanin.
One of the aliens tried to communicate but he did not speak hue-man and the earthlings looked at him in wonder as he seemed to bark ay them.
He talking loud and aggressively.
The earthlings saw as he thrust a white hand at them.
They looked at it but did not touch it.
They remembering the curse of the leper did not want to take this disease home.
They saw other boats come ashore and unload strange animals as heavy black things that they set on the dunes and faced to the forest.
It was this moment the youngest one in his old age will remember as the time we should have killed them then.
They earthlings turn and melt into the forest.
Darkness is coming soon.
That night they watch as the aliens worship the strange idol again.
They watching the aliens sleep lite for it has been rumored that those who carry this disease are possessed by the evilest demons.
They will have to be watched...
They have brought death.
