Abduction

Abduction by aliens can be an amazing experience. You are transported to another level, another world. You take on a whole new understanding of yourself and the world.

The aliens dissect and poke and prod you and analyse every part of you. Parts of you that you don't use, parts of your heart and mind that you take for granted. You let them because you are just as amazed with them as they are with you. Their dissection techniques are so gentle and seductive that you don't notice you have been pulled apart and examined until you are lying in your various segments, exposed to all the world - yours and theirs.

The aliens are very obliging; they return you to your world - it's not like you could ever exist in theirs. Their fascination in you is a curiosity which is time-limited.

They put you back together but you are never quite the same. You are raw, tender, grazed, disoriented. You know things about yourself you did not want to know. You walk with stiffness on the brink of an emotional void and an emotional overload. You are caught between their world, where you cannot exist, and your world, where you know too much to go back to your place.

The aliens pat themselves on the back for being so clever and affirming that they are superior to other life forms. They continue their alien business in their alien worlds.

Back on earth you blink at the stars in hope.
