0070

in a war of aliens and human forces fight,
a small human ship was hit and couldnt sustain flight,
crashing on a moon lifeless planet damaged beyond repair,
he sees an alien ship also crash wondering if parts are spare,
running over with gun held ready to kill,
he looks at the alien parts knowing he doesn't have skill,
finding the alien alive also holding a gun,
they stand pointing them but also ready to run,
not knowing what to do and running out of oxygen,
they decide to lower their weapons being and forget being alien against men,
using parts from each ship to make one that could fly,
they dont know which could live and which could die,
only one can leave and the other must stay,
but without air would only last one day,
deciding to play a game which is living or death,
not wanting to live to his last suffocating breath,
letting the alien shoot from a distance first,
he fires but misses with his cannon burst,
the man shoots and misses hitting a rock,
as the alien smiles ready to lock,
pulling his trigger and then missing again,
the man smiles after using his brain,
he changed the sight on the aliens gun while he was working on the ship,
then he fires his gun emptying his clip,
parts of the alien scattered over the moons surface in bits,
he goes to start the ship but it just sits,
the alien made it only start by a key,
and only he would know where it would be.
