The aliens came down from above. The locals screamed and ran for their lives.
“They’re monsters!” someone screamed as the military arrived and blew them to pieces.
Later…
Joyous celebrations erupted while, elsewhere, a small child picked up a burnt cloth from an alien uniform.
It read “United Earth Mission.”

Nicely done Wayne.
Well done!
My eyes spilled over the words of your story because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened. Nicely done.
Thank you all for your kind words.
Was done in a Rod Serling TWILIGHT ZONE story
Hi Jeff,
I have no recollection of the episode, although I do admire his style of writing and his stories. You’ve now inspired me to write some more stories in a similar style. You are the second person to mention TWILIGHT ZONE after one of my stories. They were, after all, very good.
If you know the episode to which you are referring please let me know the title. If not, I agree it does have a Twilight Zone-ish quality about it.
