It had been a very long twenty four hours

so glad to be homeward bound.

Finding himself heading into rain showers

eager to make up ground.

not sure why he’d taken the longer route

his mobile buzzed being on mute.

That distraction took his eyes off the road

as there was a sickening thud!

looking forward nothing visibly showed

pulling onto a patch of mud.

regretting this error he got out with a splat

as onto his back he fell flat!

Wet and cold he managed to get on his feet

slid onto the wet road.

Pacing up and down but a pointless beat

seeing nothing as he strode.

Back to his vehicle checking for damage

sensing his rising rage!

Why his emotions were like this was weird

he sat back in his car.

Hoping not to be stuck as the rain cleared

skidding on his way with a jar.

Steering was not very responsive at first

the trip home seemed cursed!

Oblivious to an alien creature gripping tight

glad to be back at last.

Heading for his front door on his leg felt a bite

embedded deep his fate cast!

Inside eggs were secreted now he was a host

the alien gone like a ghost!

Entering his home collapsed with a blackout

found next day by a friend.

Rushed to the hospital his prognosis in doubt

for him this was the end!

But would these creatures be detected inside

as they investigated the man died!

With an unexplained death the body was isolated

doctors were very worried!

When the marks were found opinions were invited

scientist to the laboratory hurried.

Noticing movement within the body was he alive

realising the body was a hive!

Luckily the room was a completely sealed unit

in disbelief they monitored!

An extraordinary event what were they within it

this unknown spewing hoard!

The thing searched finding its next victim a cat

who had no chance on a doormat!

Nobody realised at the time the horror had just begun!
