The Overlords

THE OVERLORDS The noises from above had driven her underground. The overlords were searching again. She was safe for the moment but, her narrow escape had not come without a cost. She would not see John again, her brother was gone. Just after she had made her way down into the darkness and just before John would do the same an Overlord had captured him in their vision. That was all it took. Just being spotted by an Overlord paralyzed you, left you in their control. There was no escape, no reprieve. Once you were caught you were theirs. The rest of your short agony filled life would be spent in the Sky Realm wasting away in the forced labor camps until there was nothing of you left.
