Pink Dawn - Alba rosa From:  The Unavoidable Robert started feeling dizzy. He lost consciousness for a few moments and when he was able to recover he saw a very bright light near the spacecraft. A light that approached slowly until it came to rest near one of the spacecraft's legs. The light was emitting an intense pink tone. In his mind something or someone wanted to tell him something. -Earthling. You shouldn't have come to us. We didn't call you. Now it's too late. -Terrified, Robert tried to articulate some sound, but nothing came out of his throat. Yet he was surprised to be able to utter thoughts in response to the warnings of those beings. El alba rosa De:  Lo inevitable Robert empezó a sentirse mareado.

The feeling of not touching firm ground was very scary, and followed going down, going down... and last he stopped. His body had penetrated in the ground to the waist. He had clinging to the railing and tried to push himself back to the ladder but it was impossible. Panic appeared in his eyes. "Central control. Central control. I am trapped! I can`t return to the spaceship. I am sunk in the ground." "Calm down! Try to take a deep breath and count backwards from number ten."

Then his feet gave way a few inches and Robert thought his time had come. "Help! Help!" Something was making the ground give way under his feet. It was not the ground, something con...
