For years, we scoffed at the idea of an alien base inside the moon. That was the stuff of schlocky sci-fi novels written by hack writers. We all guessed they were really taking up residence in the ocean.
And so, we searched the depths, looking for signs of life from other worlds, but they were either well hidden or shy about showing themselves to a race bent on destruction.
It seems they were above all this time, waiting patiently until we let our defenses down. The knocking from inside the moon was the first sign that the attack was coming.
Also loving the form - the drabble really suits me for where im at with my writing, so its good to catch others hoing the same row.
Love the idea of the 'knocking inside the moon'.
