The Plot:

Knowing that an alien invasion is at hand, an engineer begins work on an underground city. He was so serious with it that it became his life mission. 30 years passed and he had a functional city, very basic- providing only shelter and clean water- but still functional. However, no aliens came to invade.

Disillusioned, he stopped working on the city and simply lived a quiet life on the mountains...

The Plot:

A Martian had come to your office to warn you of an impending giant rodent attack. He said it was only a matter of time before the swarm of the overgrown rats finish off the last Martian and turn its attention to Earth.

Everybody laughed it off, even though upon inspection the Martian wasn’t your officemate and resident prankster Jeffrey wearing a mask. In fact, Jeffrey was right beside you when the Martian appeared. Everybody got back to work except you, because for some reason the Martian thought you would believe his story. You ignored him for the rest of the day.
