Day 1: An Impulse Buy leading to Intergalactic Warfare

It was only a toy - a knock-off of a Star Wars spaceship toy. How was I supposed to know that it was real! It fit in the palm of my hand. Benji loved it. He played with it for hours until it flew just a little too far and a little too fast and smashed hard into the backroom window. Benji cried as he held up the broken pieces to me to fix. I didn’t know that the leader of an alien race was inside it, bleeding out. So now these tiny aliens are attacking us. Fucking first contact!
