The car sprouted arms and climbed the wall. It looked like a white Tesla, but unless they did some crazy development stuff, this car was likely one of the aliens from the news.

I sprinted into the building, devoid of people, smart, most stayed safe in their homes, but some of us couldn’t, we had responsibilities.

An office building, with a small lobby, a bank of elevators, but also a back door, which I used as the white electric vehicle, back on wheels, smashed through the front window.

Out the back and I saw my salvation, destination, across the empty four lanes, down a grass embankment, through the massive parking lot with only four cars in it.

I ran for the tree on the boulevard, hopped on the concrete pot, as the alien Telus flew past and almost hit me. Too quick, it spun around, tires smoked, as the electric engine growled like a supercar. Definitely an alien.

I jumped down, ran straight to the next pot as the wind from the car pushed my hair into my eyes, but I saw a route.
