I saw that you'd written a post, and I kept getting reminded of the date, but I did not connect the two until directly before I started to read it. I was certain you were up to something, though. I even scrolled carefully to avoid spoiling the big reveal... but I was so sure you were just gonna kill them all immediately.
Anyway, I guess either something's gone over my head by no small clearance, or the prank was that it's not a prank, and it worked on me. A prank paradox. Prankadox.
In any case, it's great to see you writing again! I hope you'll continue, so I can find out more about these aliens :)
I actually didn't realize that it was April 1st until after I posted. The date just coincided with me having a smidge of inspiration to write!
So maybe the joke is on me, really
