You've managed to sneak into Area 51, and you've crept up to the very door of its most secret building, Hanger 5A.

You're in luck; the security guard is pacing back to the corner of the building away from you. Your timing is perfect! As a truck approaches, the hanger doors slowly open, and the contents of the cavernous building are revealed to you.

Unfortunately, the driver has spotted you! You whip out your cell phone and thumb out an SMS text message to your support team, which is concealed safely outside the perimeter. As the Military Police drag you off, you smile, knowing that you got a message out. What did you send?

The rules of the game are thus: Write a text message to your team after discovering the contents of the secret hanger at Area 51. Your entry can be drama, comedy, horror--anything you want, so long as it is creative.

Unlike almost every other text contest, you may use emoticons, abbreviations, and SMS text message slang in your entry. However, remember that many voters may not be familiar with all of the lingo (or any of it!), so don't get too esoteric.

Also remember that SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, including spaces.

Keep in mind that profanity is not acceptable. All entries must be in accordance with our text rules and guidelines. As always, quality is a must. You will have 7 days for this contest, so make your submission count.

Length Limit: 160 Characters. This is an SMS text message on a phone; Entries longer than 160 characters will be disqualified.
