I Don't Think We're Alone Out Here...
Dear Lila,
It's been a while since I've written to you. I know we've had our disagreements, but this time I need you to listen to me. I doubt you will, but it's the last hope I have. The last hope that I have of you making it out of this alive. You're probably thinking I'm off my rocker again, but this time I'm not, and I have proof. I have proof that the end isn't near. It's now. There are these...things. It's not specific, I know, but it's the only way for me to call these things, whatever they are.
They came about a week ago one stormy night, seemingly out of nowhere right next to the pond that used to belong to that crotchety Miss Norma Bates. (I still can't believe what a terrible person she was) Anyways, the things that appeared seemed normal, but they weren't. Far from it. If I only had colorized pictures to prove it otherwise. You're probably asking what I mean by that. Well, I'll tell you. These people, they're colored folk, but nothing like the ones we've ever seen before. They're...unnaturally colored.
They aren't like us. They may act and talk like us, but I swear to you sis', they're not good for us. They're here to spy us. Learn our ways. Become Us. I don't know what they're plotting or how they're going about it, but it's going to happen. They're starting to dress like us. To act like us. To live like us.
Each day, I see them enter this house that certainly wasn't there before this all happened. They bring in everyday objects with them. Things like books and cups and picture frames. Things we won't initially notice. Things we won't initially miss. And with what they've stolen, they learn more about about us. Who we are. What we are. How we are. It seems so innocent, but I've seen them. They're picking up habits only humans would have.
They're learning how to drink wine. How to appear like normal folks.
How to smoke. How to socialize in a manner that isn't conspicuous.
They're even learning how to slack off like us. And this is why I'm writing this to you. It's probably too late for me to leave discreetly. They'll notice that I've left without reason and come after me, but they won't know about you. If this letter gets to you in time, you can run. I don't know where, but anywhere safe's better than becoming one of them. I love you sis'. Take care and don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
With Love,
Marion Crane

If you read through all of that, you should congratulate yourself on not dying halfway. :P Anyways, onto the real reason for this post!
We all love aliens, don't we? (Well, a certain someone doesn't...)
Here are six aliens for your pleasure. Do whatever you want with them. The only thing I ask is not to change them. They aren't who they are if you change them. ^.^

*Carina's purple skin is my alien default and therefore, will not actually show up with this skin unless it is your default as well. If you'd like the skin, leave a comment and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.* :)
