It Is Arboreal
An Alien In Alnwick - A SciFi Drabble

It Is In A Field Across The Aln From Alnwick Castle
Across the river Aln, in a field, stands a strange creature, well, two of them actually. As the walker walked towards what he thought was an arboreal gate, a voice in his head spoke to him:
"We are observing before our reassimilation of this planet. You are our food source now"
The walker stopped and looked in horror as his flesh began to dissolve and flow towards the thing in the field.
There were not even any bones left. The ground was clear.
The arboreal thing stood and waited for its next meal.
The invasion and humanity's extinction had begun.
