A flash of panic went across my mother’s face as I stared at her, unwavering in my resolve that this was the truth. It was the truth. I got abducted by aliens and they did experiments on me. I was drugged for most of them but I knew they were done…290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKPAk4i8I6
“Wh-what?” she asked, trying not to sound as flabbergasted as she probably was.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyKzpKBXAk
“I got abducted by aliens. Like in movies and stuff? Straight up beamed onto a spaceship.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoClQldsgvm
Mom just sat there looking at me for a moment, probably wondering how serious I was being. She finally sighed.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcoi8Bgd1
“Max… I… I want to believe you, truly, but… That’s far-fetched even for you.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOngk5CRdI
“Doesn’t that make it more believable? The fact that I don’t make up stuff like this? Mom, I’m not lying and I’m not trying to cover something up. I swear upon God and everything holy that I was actually abducted by aliens.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVby01xPfvT
Mom was about to say something when her phone started ringing and she looked at it. I could see the visible relief on her face.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAej5fiCOD
“It’s work. I have to get back… We’ll… we’ll discuss this later when I get here tonight, alright?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaIUmSqMzy
“Forget it.” I growled, crossing my arms. “You don’t believe me.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZSnLGiFj
“Honey-“290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvsVrTcush
“You literally just sat there and told me I could tell you anything. So I did and this is the reaction I get. Forget it, Mom. Go back to work.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoRxihO13u
Mom looked confused about if she wanted to stay or not but the phone rang again and she got up.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUbhEKLzZV
“I’ll see you tonight.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcgOxeFtFn
I don’t say anything to her and when she left, I grabbed my pillow and tried to suffocate myself for a second, screaming into it. I knew she would never believe me, the one person I had hoped and counted on. If she won’t believe me, then no one else will…290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ndJcKlWy0

Dad came back with some clothes and a toothbrush and toothpaste. He helped me out of bed and we made our way to the bathroom so that I could freshen up.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcNUYv4uR
“You need me to be in there with you?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HJ90pW1o
“No, I think I’ll be alright. I’ll call if I need you for anything.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliKmFIJTv4
He nodded and I went into the bathroom to get all washed and stuff. The hot water felt so good on my body and I could feel the dirt and grime that was on my body from months of neglect wash away. Of course, I wasn’t going to get everything until I started using the rag but it was amazing to see how much stuff I accumulated on me. Once the water ran clear again, I lathered up a washrag and began the real cleansing process.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJrD6TJXdE
It was disgusting. Just… that’s the best word for it.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX34i4c6e2y
Dis-gus-ting.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eMfbi7WFG
As I was washing down, I looked down at my stomach and saw what the doctors were talking about regarding the bruises they had seen. There were about seven of them in different places and when I skimmed the rag across my stomach, I could feel how sore they were. I also felt like my nipples were sore as well when I washed my chest. Now that I thought about it, my stomach looked slightly pooched out more than I remember. Panic struck me suddenly, remembering what the doctor had also said: ”We saw a mass in your stomach and we wanted to get an ultrasound for a closer look.” was basically what he said. The aliens did something to me… I know it now… Realizing that I didn’t get away with just my life but with something else harbored inside of me, I felt like the walls of my life were crumbling down and I began to sob uncontrollably, sliding down the wall of the bathtub. What was inside of me? Would it kill me? Would it devour me?290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpbubB26z
“Max?” Dad said, knocking on the door. “You alright in there?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvlN2WQp9p
“I’m fine!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8518ypLhY
“You’ve been in there for a while.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK8iDBVXbE
“I’m just… just getting really clean.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJeaYSi5G9
“Well, hurry up.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgjPJu8o08
I pulled myself together and finished washing. I got out and put the towel around me as I brushed my teeth, sighing in happiness over a nice clean mouth. It felt so good to be fresh. I opened the door a little and asked Dad to hand me my clothes. He handed me some boxers, some sleep pants, and a sleep shirt. I usually sleep in just my boxers but this is a hospital… I walked out and Dad smiled at me.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxcdvWh9I5
“You look refreshed.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXhCT0rWx
“You have no idea…”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmGm7ZpPSK
I started heading back to the bed and Dad helped me climb in. I got settled into it and sighed, wanting to go back home.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8NRA3OjOV
“Your mother called me on the way back to work.” I looked up quickly as Dad looked at me pensively. “She said you claim you were abducted by aliens?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSavfRnrQ1
I clenched the sheets beside me.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3OpkHHeS3
“Please don’t dismiss it as some ploy that I’m trying to do. I already told her it was real or I wouldn’t even bring it up.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuvxO7F7CV
“But why do you believe it was aliens?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWtWndhJuL
“Because it was! I literally got beamed aboard a spaceship, Dad! It’s not that I don’t know who my captors were and so I’m trying to fill in the gaps with some silly fantasy! These were genuine aliens.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SHwy87mG
“Okay, okay, calm down… Look, I just want to understand. If it really were aliens, then what did they want with you? I mean, why you?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXnckKz1v
“I don’t know, Dad, they didn’t speak English. It was a language I had never heard before. When I wasn’t being experimented on, I was in a blank room with only a bed and a small hole in the wall where they would give me food and stuff. There were some symbols on the side of where the hole would appear but I couldn’t make them out. When I wasn’t in the room, I was drugged and taken someplace else. Sometimes they wouldn’t drug me completely and I had some cognitive abilities and that’s how I found out where I was and everything.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeVZ45siiV
Dad took off his glasses to knead the bridge of his nose, trying to comprehend what I was telling him.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0HS1dQWz
“Let me try to understand what you’re saying: you’re saying that you got beamed up into a spaceship where they drugged you to do experiments on you except every once in a while where you wouldn’t be completely drugged?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJF8haPjPx
“They only did minor things then like, physical examinations or drawing blood and stuff. From what I gathered, they were only drugging me then because they were being precautious.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdeYZxSrbR
“Did they do anything to you? As in… you know…”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FeoXJ2W1J
“Probing? Yeah, they did. Not necessarily anal probing but yeah, they did a lot of weird shit, Dad. I’m pretty sure that mass that the doctor was asking to take an ultrasound of is something they did. I don’t… I don’t really want to know about it. I just wanted to come home and I wanted to be away from them.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6FzSD2S1N
“You don’t want the ultrasound?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7045dz6a
“I just want to go home, Dad.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWoufU46uL
“But you don’t want to know what it is? What if it’s a man-eat parasite that grows with every piece of flesh it eats? What if they impregnated you?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5tQMziU5
“Yay, you’re a grandfather.” I said, waving my hands in fake enthusiasm.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2TbZqlw8
Dad made a face at me. “I’m being serious, Max.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMiB6iERiT
“Well so am I. I mean, what would it take for you to truly believe me?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS2tJmgv7R
“I do believe you, Max.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFqWTx6Jv
“Y-y-you do?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrLcstTJ9C
“This is too elaborate even for you, son. You had your moments before you were gone but you’d never be adamant about something you weren’t completely sure of in your own right. If you believe that you were abducted by aliens and they did experiments on you, then I believe you. My problem is figuring out what they did to you.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5jtCqaek
“If you’re right, we’ll see soon.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7LeMeKvSJ
Dad sighed and rubbed his face. “Oh, Max, how in the world could you have gotten mixed up with something as strange as that? Aliens?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbfDuKexM5
“Beats me. I was walking home and minding my own business so…”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTumPqHnwW5
“Well, we can talk about this a little later. Now that you’re all nice and fresh, I’d take a nap or something.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNtBEBpbhf
“I just woke up.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxvoCugG5g
“From a body-forced slight coma. Now your body is tired of fighting and you can take a relaxing nap that will actually rejuvenate you.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcFAuF6Ckl
“You just don’t want to talk about this anymore. I’m not stupid.” I growled, pulling the sheets up. “Don’t worry about it. If I grow a second head then you’ll have two sons that you can love and maybe one of my heads will be able to convince you of odd happenings.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCjBY6U7hn
“Max-“290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhunTsWOl
“Goodnight, Dad.” I growled, throwing the sheets over my head.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubBov1jsC
I could tell he wanted to talk more but if he didn’t want to talk about the issue that was at hand (which was real) then I didn’t want to talk to him at all.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfI2o9R8oF
I woke up on a reflective floor that was so white that it had its own glow. It was almost blinding having my face right next to it. I sat up slowly, looking around at the room. It was made of the same reflective glowing material as the floor. Where the heck was I? I was walking back from the gas station when I went to get some last minute milk and then I was blinded by someone’s brights… A whoosh noise startled me and I looked over. I was too numb to move as fast as I wanted to as a weird looking creature walked into the room. I was still delirious and the brightness of the room was keeping me from seeing exactly what came through the door but through the blur, I knew it wasn’t human.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcrWMiHjWu

I felt something prick my skin and I fell into a dark hole of unconsciousness.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4CI43bb2F
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJ41kgugf
“Hey! Hey! Stop fighting me, Max! Honey, it’s me!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQjkg7lfFB
I opened my eyes, blurry and confused.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUOwVU5i1b
“Sweetie...”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NLFaLPMW
“Mom?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ec1GGeNAO
“Yeah, it’s me… Are you alright? You looked like you were having a nightmare. I was trying to wake you up and you started fighting me.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iivNWGuaV
“I was remembering when-“ I looked at Mom for a second and narrowed my eyes at her. “This isn’t real, is it?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw24R05geIc
“What?”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbAVfYtEd9
“You’re not real.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBcRMoWAbY
“I… don’t understand.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcCpDjIzvK
“YOU’RE NOT REAL!” I screamed, pulling away from her. “Get away from me!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJHzZKgaGm
“Doctor!” she yelled.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWwCcpkCn1
I lunged at her suddenly, pulling out all of my tubing as I practically spider-monkeyed her into the wall. The look of fear on her face actually gave me pleasure.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdZoMcs3nA
“Are you scared? I hope so, you horrible shapeshifting alien piece of shit!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLsMZZSIDJ
“Doctor!” she yelled again.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5cqfAUi5w

I felt something prick me and I watched as my mother’s face melted into the horrible face of those creatures. They had gone too far this time. They almost had everything so perfect to keep me in line that I almost fell for it. But what information they gathered from my mind could never do the justice of my mother.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tB3b7Qfm7
They may have replicated her touch and they may have replicated her voice, but they could never replicate her love. I was too excited to realize the little mistakes but when I had that dream, I realized that my mother would have rather been fired than to not be there when I woke up. I don’t understand what they want from me…290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ4sz6GHPD
I just want to go back home. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnoRqdKRbc
