Nobody saw the ship

A tiny alien scout, no larger than a modest garden shed, slips silently into Earth’s atmosphere, intent on harvesting a rare hormone that could power an entire fleet of its kind. Its single occupant knows that a successful find will trigger a massive invasion, yet the mission itself is a quiet, methodical search—no explosions, no fanfare, just a careful sampling of the planet’s living tissue.

In a remote forest, an elderly shepherd named Antonio tends his flock, aided by his loyal dog Salazar, oblivious to the hidden craft nearby. When the alien finally emerges to collect its samples, the fragile balance between the unsuspecting man, his steadfast companion, and the sleek, secretive visitor creates a tense, uneasy standoff. Listeners will be drawn into the delicate dance of curiosity and survival that unfolds in the shadows of the woods.
