Emergency!

“Hello?”

“Listen, Samantha. I don’t have much time here.”

“John?”

“Turns out aliens really do exist. They just took out a nearby town and we’re being told they’re coming our way. We gotta evacuate. They’re real freaky things, as far as I can see. Big heads, buggy eyes. Just like the things our grandparents saw on television when they were little. If they catch us, we’re dead.”

“Oh, John!”

“Don’t you worry ‘bout me. Look, we’re being towed back home pretty soon here. Just prepare that carrot cake for me. We don’t get very many carrots here on Mars.”
