The alien attack occurred ten years after John was born. He trained for a second attack, his dad’s name on his arm.

Aaron Rudolph is @20limes and he likes to add a little cheese to everything.

Slicker than quicksilver, the octopus darts through the time travel portal under the coral, delivering a message to attack.
