Alien Abductions

Aliens have been tormenting humans for many years. Humans, who were taken by force in spaceships, have been probed, examined and have permanently altered their lives. Many  families have lost loved ones forever while other unfortunate humans returned to their homes dazed and confused, feeling violated. Some had their memories erased of the abduction and other individuals filed reports about alien abductions giving detailed accounts about their abductions. Portals to other dimensions, invisible to the naked eye, have served as doorways for extraterrestrials to come and go as they like. Some of these beings have infiltrated the human population and live among them. They have assumed the appearance of humans to fit in. These strange beings do so by taking over a human’s body by a possession process and oftentimes the aliens devour their victims’ souls. Aliens have visited this planet to explore and examine human lives which has raised havoc in the lives of many.

            “George wake up. Someone is in our home. Can you check things out?” wailed Alexia.

            “Yes, Alexia,” said George begrudgingly. He was in a deep sleep when Alexia woke him.

            George grabbed his handgun and flashlight from the nightstand and walked quietly out into the hallway outside of their bedroom. He heard no strange sounds. He almost tripped over their cat, Sammy. Cursing because he stubbed his toe, he continued to look in the other bedrooms and bathroom that shared the same floor as their bedroom. He saw nothing out of the ordinary.

            He walked downstairs and entered the kitchen. He found nothing out of place. George was starting to get frustrated because this was the second time in two weeks he had been woken out of a sound sleep by Alexia because she thought she heard something.

            Alexia screamed, which startled George. He ran upstairs. Alexia was nowhere to be found. The door to the terrace from their bedroom was open. He ran outside just in time to see a strange spaceship hovering above their home in the cloudless nighttime sky. The spaceship was round and blue lights lined the perimeter of the craft. George could not believe his eyes. He grabbed onto the railing and ordered the aliens to bring back his wife. He was scared that he may never see Alexia again.

            What do I do? She’s gone and it looks like aliens took her. Do I call the police?  I have to call someone. George was beside himself. He decided to call the police. He could not deal with this on his own.

            “Hello, my name is George Castice. I am calling to report that my wife was just abducted by aliens.”

            “Slow down. It sounded like you said your wife was abducted by aliens,” replied Sandy the responder from the 911 call center.

            “Yes, that’s what I said.”

            “Give me your address and I will send a car over there immediately,” replied Sandy. She has heard a lot of strange things since she started her job a couple of years ago, but never did anyone report an alien abduction. She placed a call to a couple of police officers that were in the vicinity of George’s home. She reported what George said.

            “I think a man named Geore Castice has lost his mind. Enter with caution,” warned Sandy to the officer who took the call.

            Lights were flashing brightly from the police car as the police entered the driveway of George’s home during the wee hours of the morning. The neighborhood was quiet.

            “I am so glad you are here. My wife heard something and woke me up to check on things. I was downstairs when I heard her scream. The door to the terrace was wide open. They were locked when we went to bed. When I ran onto the terrace, I saw a strange alien spaceship,” George said. He was out of breath because he was talking so fast. He was a nervous wreck.

            The officers looked at him strangely and suspiciously.

            “Have you been drinking, sir?” asked one of the officers.

            “No, I was sound asleep and like I said my wife woke me to check to see if someone was in our home. I was downstairs after checking all the rooms upstairs when I heard her scream.”

            “Did you see anything out of the ordinary when you checked out the house?” asked the officer.

            “You mean besides the spaceship?” asked George who was starting to feel like he was not being taken seriously.  He was concerned about his wife and knew the police officers may be thinking he is crazy.

            “Have you and your wife been getting along?” asked one of the police officers.

            “What are you suggesting? I love my wife. We were going on vacation in a couple of days. I would never do anything to hurt her,” said George. He was starting to feel sorry that he called 911. George’s face was turning redder as he stared at the police officers.

            “Settle down. We are not accusing you of anything, yet.”

            George asked the police officers to leave. They reluctantly left.

            “Let’s us know if you hear from your wife.”

            “Sure,” said George reluctantly. He pulled the front door shut and locked it. Sleep evaded George.

            A couple of days went by and there was no sign of Alexia. George was getting more and more worried.

            He went to bed and tried falling asleep. He saw flashing blue lights outside their bedroom window. He opened the doors to the terrace and found Alexia. She was in a daze. He guided her to their bed and helped her lay down. Her nightgown was torn and dirty which George thought was odd. It appeared like she was running through the woods with bare feet, her feet were covered with mud.

            “Are you okay my love?”

            Alexia did not respond. She lay staring at him with blank eyes. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days. Dark circles were under her bloodshot eyes. George lay down beside her and held her in his arms. She fell fast asleep and did not wake until 8:00 a.m. the next morning. She shook George who was sound asleep next to her. He was startled and woke up to see her looking down at him.

            “I’m hungry, George.”

            “What do you want to eat?”

            “Anything. I haven’t eaten in days.”

            George stared at her for a little while and then got out of bed to retrieve food for her. He made her a turkey sandwich on rye and peeled an orange for her. He poured a glass of milk and walked upstairs to bring the food to Alexia. She was in the shower. George set the tray down on the nightstand and walked into the bathroom.

            Alexia finished showering and started drying off. George didn’t realize how much he missed her until he saw her in front of him. She was covered in small bruises and winced when she dried over the bruised areas on her body.

            She ate heartily after she put on another nightgown.

            George waited until she finished eating and drinking the milk and then asked her, “Can you tell me what happened to you?”

            “I was taken by these strange greenish beings. They didn’t talk but probed me a lot. They inspected my whole body. We landed, I think on Earth. It looked like Earth and they had me run through the woods as fast as I could. They placed that thought into my head. There was no talking. I had to run for what seemed like hours and I was only given short breaks. I think they wanted to see how strong I was.”

            “Did they hurt you?”

            “They were pinching me with these devices. That hurt.”

            “What did the devices look like?”

            “They looked like large narrow tongs with red lights running down the sides. The red lights were hot,” said Alexia.

            Alexia added, “I was told I was taken as a child when I was six and they wanted to see how I have grown and to check my strength.”

            George was surprised to hear about her first abduction.

            “I don’t remember being abducted when I was six. They told me they erased the memories of my abduction from me and my family’s memories.”

            “Why are you able to remember you were abducted this time?”

            “They said they are not concerned with hiding their appearance on this planet. There are a lot of aliens on Earth at this time. The aliens are concerned with what we are doing with our planet.”

            “Interesting.”

            “We do things like recycle and use energy efficient appliances. We also grow our own food when possible, but many people do not take any steps to save our planet,” said Alexia.

            “Are you okay?” asked George.

            “They were more careful with me than they were with some of the others because I am pregnant.”

            “You’re pregnant,” said George. He was astounded to hear the news. They gave up trying to have a baby a few years ago because of George’s low sperm count. They adopted a dog and a cat to fill the void and volunteer at the local animal shelter when time permits. They thought they lived fulfilling and happy lives for the most part.

            George hugged his wife and patted her belly.

            “Are you going to be left alone from now on by the aliens?”

            “I don’t know. They dropped me off and said nothing to me about any future visits,” said Alexia.

            George did not know what to make of the whole ordeal. He called the police and the same police visited their home again. They met with Alexia to get her side to things. The police officers looked at each other with disbelief but could not openly disagree with Alexia about what she reported. They told her they were glad she was home safe and sound.

            Jack woke up in his bed in a small community in Vermont. He was terrified about the dream he just had. He dreamed he was taken by aliens to another planet. He was shackled, probed and ordered to run for great distances. The man running next to him fell to the ground and it looked like he was dead. There was no heart beat or pulse. He felt like he was running to save his life. He was fully awake so he looked at his alarm clock. The luminated numbers told him it was 5:00 a.m. so he got out of bed to get ready for work. He worked at the hospital for the maintenance department.

            He arrived at work and John, a lab tech, asked him if he was feeling better.

            “What do you mean?” asked Jack.

            “You were out for a few days,” responded John.

            “What day is it?” asked Jack.

            John looked at him queerly and responded, “It’s Sunday.”

            Jack realized he missed a couple of days. He lost them completely. He thought it was Thursday. Where did Thursday, Friday and Saturday go. Jack scratched his head.

            Jack looked at John and told him he was feeling better and he thanked him for his concern.

            Jack did not know what to think about what was going on. He went about his business and explained that he had a terrible bug and he was immobilized for what he thought was only a day or two and was very sorry he did not call in. Jack was a model employee so they did not question what he said. They took his word concerning his three-day absence. There were a few bugs going around. It was that time of year, midwinter.

            Leon was strapped to a long table. A bright light was hanging above his head. He did not know where he was. He was groggy and stunned to realize he was in a strange place.

            Tall beings who happened to be a grayish color were staring down at him.

            They were planting thoughts in his head or he was reading their minds. They were planning on examining his brain. Leon was a scientist on Earth. He was working in a laboratory trying to come up with sources of renewable energy. The aliens were exploring the possibility that he may be a human hybrid. They knew he was more intelligent than most of the humans they have examined. They wanted to find out how intelligent he was and where his intelligence came from. Aliens were known to come from advanced civilizations and their intelligence usually surpassed the capacity of the typical human brains.

            Leon was given a multitude of virtual tests to measure his intelligence. The aliens were impressed with his aptitude. Leon was getting sleepy so they studied his brain while they let him sleep. They continued for hours until they concluded that Leon must be a hybrid human. The origin was further explored by running a series of complex DNA studies. They made the determination that Leon was derived from a combination of donors. One of the donors was from the planet Nibiru, their sister planet. They learned their Anunnaki brothers and sisters were experimenting with their own DNA to make more intelligent humans on Earth. It appeared to them that they were successful with their human hybrid experiment.

            Leon woke up from his induced sleep to find them probing his heart and lungs. He was in pain from all the probing. He looked down at his arms and saw puncture wounds.

            “I want to go home,” demanded Leon.

            Aliens have been known to be able to decipher any language from any planet they visit and respond by planting thoughts in the beings’ minds. They replied that he will go home soon by planting that thought in his head. Leon settled down and tried to block from his mind the things they were doing to his body. He fell asleep and woke up in his own bed not remembering a thing that happened to him the past couple of days.

            Alexia was having a nightmare one night and George turned on the light on his end table. He saw Alexia standing facing him on the bed. Her face was contorted. She looked like she had seen a ghost. George carefully helped her lay down. He held her in his arms. She was crying and trembling.

            “I don’t want to be abducted by aliens again. Thoughts of them haunt me constantly. Half the time I have trouble deciding what is real and what is not.”

            “I am so sorry, honey. I wish I could ease your mind.”

            “I know you are doing the best you can. Thanks for being there for me. I know this is weird.”

            “The baby kicked. Feel it.”

            George placed his hand on his wife’s belly. She appeared to be getting big with this pregnancy faster than George expected. George was hopeful everything was going to be okay. Alexia’s doctor’s appointment was tomorrow and they could check on the progress of the baby. The doctor was going to conduct an ultrasound.

            The next day they are at the doctor’s office and he was running the scope on Alexia’s swollen belly. George is anxiously awaiting the results.

            The doctor points out what looks like a dark blob on the screen.

            “It looks like a healthy baby. Look there is a second fetus hidden behind the first,” the doctor said.

            George and Alexia look at each other to share in the surprise together. George squeezes her hand.

“The fetus that is behind the other fetus appears to be smaller. You may be having a boy and a girl.”           
            “That will be okay,” said George, elated about the news. Twins did not run in any of their families as much as he was aware but the news of the babies being healthy and of possibly two sexes sounded okay to George. He held Alexia’s hand.

            Jack discovered that he was even more forgetful. He forgot to set his alarm and was late for work. He forgot to pack his lunch so he wandered down to the cafeteria.

            He paid for his food and sat by himself. John sat next to him.

            “I think I am still under the weather. I am not myself.”

            “Is there anything I can do for you?” asked John.

            “No, I think I just need to let it work through my system.”

            The truth was he felt okay but his mind did not seem to work as well as before he started having dreams about being abducted. He was wondering if aliens actually did something to him.

            “Do you mind if I join you?” asked Mary, another maintenance employee. They were employed at a local hospital.

            John pointed to the seat by him.

            “What’s wrong with your friend?” asked Mary quietly.

            “I think he’s still under the weather. He was recently sick.”

            Mary smiled at Jack to reassure him.

            At home later that evening Jack tried to play along with jeopardy and realized that he couldn’t answer any of the questions that were being presented, which was not like him. He was getting concerned. He had to write lists so he wouldn’t forget to do everyday things such as turning on his alarm clock. He developed a daily checklist so he wouldn’t forget to do anything. He couldn’t afford to be late for work anymore. He felt his work performance was being observed. Jack went from being a model employee to one who was being watched. This was unsettling for him.

            When the aliens abducted Jack, they realized that he was of average intelligence, not a remarkable human specimen. They were not careful when they erased part of his memories from the abduction. Some of his previous memories before the abduction were also erased.

            Leon, on the other hand, was treated with the utmost care when they erased part of the memories from his abduction. As part of their experiment, they injected some of their brain cells, which enhanced his intelligence. He was making progress with his research concerning renewable energy.

            It was time for Alexia to give birth. They were both nervous but faced the future bundles of joy with happy anticipation. Alexia’s mother was arriving at their home that evening to help with the twins. She was able to stay for a month or two. They were relieved to be receiving the assistance. George’s mother died years ago so he was glad Alexia still had her mother in her life.

            Alexia was given an injection to ease her pain.

            The time had come. The first head of one of the babies was crowning. It was a girl, a healthy baby girl.

Alexia started pushing again and the second baby’s head was crowning. This baby was considerably larger so she needed to be cut more to allow the baby’s head to come out.

            Everybody was waiting. Alexia’s sister and her husband and George’s father were in the waiting room.

            George asked, “Is the baby okay?”

            “The baby is fine, just larger,” replied the doctor.

            The baby was finally born. The baby’s skin had a sparkly glow to it. Everyone in the delivery room thought it may be the lighting. The baby was a boy. He cried loudly while he was being cleaned after the delivery. His sister was quiet.

            Alexia was being stitched and given additional pain medicine because of the difficulty of the second delivery.

            Alexia’s mother was amazed at the difference in size of the two babies and commented on the glow of their son’s skin.

            “I think it’s the lighting,” said Alexia.

            “Why doesn’t your daughter’s skin have the same glow?”

            “I am going to ask the doctor what he thinks about our son,” said George. He patted Alexia arm and gave her a kiss.
