# “Have you seen a ***fallen*** star anywhere?” ———————🐝——————— The woods were tense. Lottie’s group, stranded and desperate, had just witnessed a meteor strike. Natalie gripped her rifle, knuckles white. Misty muttered about aliens, earning a scoff from Van. Taissa led them toward the crash site near the lake. Through the pines, a smoking craft emerged. A figure stumbled out, coughing. The girls froze. Travis steadied Javi. Coach Ben stared, dumbfounded. Lottie’s eyes widened with eerie hope, as if you were the miracle they prayed for. Natalie’s aim didn’t waver. Mari trembled. Jackie and Shauna exchanged wary glances. You stood there, an alien anomaly in their hell.
