After a moment’s hesitation you pull the trigger.

A spray clouds the alien’s features, and when it clears, she no longer looks human. Her skin is dripping and melting away to reveal green scales, black eyes and sharp teeth …

She’s a lizard person!

You freak out, and you run!

Heart pounding, fear coursing through your body, you sprint into the national park. You weave around the trees, crash through the bushes and plunge into a stream, wading to the other side.

You run for ages; you don’t want to stop.

Suddenly the ground gives way beneath you and you fall into a pit.

You try to clamber out, but all you manage to do is dislodge soil. Keep that up and soon you’ll be buried alive. You have no option but to stay where you are, too scared to yell for help in case the aliens come.

Something peers over the edge. A dirty face with matted hair, a scraggly beard and mad eyes.

‘Well, lookie here,’ says the strange man. ‘I caught me an alien.’

You try to explain that you’re human.

‘I don’t believe you,’ says the man. ‘I know you sneaky aliens can disguise yourselves. And besides, you’re holding an alien thingie.’

You realise that you still have the silver tube. You drop it and insist it’s not yours.

The man shakes his head, and laughs. ‘Think I’m gonna leave you right where you are while I go and dig me some more alien traps.’

And with a little wave, he’s gone.

You shout. But he doesn’t come back. You’re no longer worried about attracting the aliens’ attention – you just want to get out of the pit.

You yell and yell. But nobody comes.

It starts to rain. The soil turns to mush. Slowly, the sides of the pit begin to cave in, covering you with mud. You struggle to keep your head out in the open. But the rain is getting stronger.

How long before you’re completely buried?
