The Rescue
This is part 2 of the story if you haven't read part 1 check it out here. It was a normal day for Mike. Nothing stood out as exceptional except for his imagination as to what was going to happen this weekend. He and his wife had this amazing trip planned to this cute little cabin in the middle of the woods. They were planning to leave once she finished her final shift of the week at the library. They lived in a small town and she was the only person who was on staff at their local library so she couldn't get off work early but this weekend the library was going to be closed so they could go on a much-needed vacation. It was going to be a much-needed getaway for the couple to connect again and hopefully spark the love that they once had for each other. It had been a trying couple of months and Mike wanted to spend more time with his wife. He was counting the minutes until Susan would walk through their front door and their weekend together could finally begin. The hands of the clock seemed to move extra slow today as they did anytime something fun and exciting was approaching.

In the dead of night, a bright meteor streaked across the sky, hurtling towards Earth. Inside, the meteor carried an evil gift from the deep dark depths of evil space.
