Sci-fi and Heroic Fantasy discussion

I’ve always been captivated by stories that blend alien intrigue with human resilience. That fascination led me to write my first sci-fi short story, The Unexpected Arrival.

The story follows Nira, a young woman battling an alien invasion and a totalitarian government while uncovering shocking truths about humanity’s greatest enemy. It’s a mix of alien invasion thrills, historical allegory, and themes of survival and liberation.

I recently released the trailer, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! Does this premise intrigue you? What are your favorite alien invasion stories, and what themes do you love seeing explored in sci-fi?

Here’s the trailer: https://youtu.be/pDaF1ASEmm0
