CHALLENGE: Terror from the Skies

https://i.imgur.com/sAH6dor.png

All weekly challenges until October 22nd are part of Pixelween 2023, a contest with prizes. This is the second week.

You will be pixelling a scene on the theme; Terror from the Skies. After scurrying around on the ground trying to make it out alive, we turn our gaze upwards. What is that? A giant bat, a UFO, a swarm of locusts, the Langoliers? Is it raining blood? What is this horror that befalls us?

Don't forget that this entry needs to continue from, and connect with, your previous entry from week 2 (Danger on the Horizon).

For an extra challenge add something on the way of disappearing upwards out of frame, that could spill into your next scene (theme still to be announced).

In the upcoming challenges you will be continuing the scenes vertically, but with a new theme and an increasing palette each week.


Technical requirements for this week:

Canvas Size - exactly 140 (horizontal) x 80 (vertical) pixels.
Colors - Max 24, use this palette:
