The Days of Chaos
Sallie sat on a wall and watched. The streets were still, no bells rang from the old church, no children played in the courtyard. Quiet, deathly quiet. In the months since the invasion that’s all there had been, quiet. Sallie wondered how many had survived when Chaos came with their chitinous bodies, like monsters from some dime paperback. Their exoskeletons remained in some places, huge reminders of the days of Chaos and ruin. The combined forces of Earth had defeated them, or so the earthlings thought, but then came the virus, Chaos’ final answer. Sallie still didn’t know how many humans had survived but she had saved some and that would have to be enough. With a nod, Sallie disapparated into a wave of light, headed for her next destination.

An interesting take on the photo. Yea, they really do look as you describe them, like an alien exoskeleton.

For some reason when I first saw the pic all I could see was the aliens from “Ender’s Game” once the image stuck I was, well, stuck with it. 😉

While I’ve not seen the movie, I’m a big fan of Orson Scott Card and have read that and the related books. And yes, I can see where you’re coming from 🙂
