Alien- Shot Twice

  Paris shot the alien twice in the chest. It staggered back, acid blood spilling to the ground, hissing as it ate through the floor. The acid spray hit Chenovski’s legs and he moaned, but it could’ve been so much worse.

  “Back off!” she shouted, taking a step forward, trying to scare it away from Chenovski while he was still alive.

  It didn’t look scared.

  Instead, it advanced on her as if daring her to fire again—daring her to spill more acid onto her friend. Paris felt a nauseous twist in her gut.

  How smart are these things?
