Alien Mind Control From Planet P
Chapter 9
By Gary LM Martin
Clarissa Pepperson was feeling pressured. All she had done was go to her doctor to get the latest NR-1 flu vaccination. She hadn't really intended to, but her best friend Natalie kept nagging her about it after she got hers, telling Clarissa that it was better to be safe than sorry, and that she would feel really good about it.
And Clarissa did feel good about it, after the brief post-injection headache wore off. Before he had given her the vaccine, Doctor Taney had smiled at her and said, "You may feel a little sting as this goes in."
Clarissa had looked away. She didn't like needles. She had felt the sting as it was injected into her arm, but the sting didn't end there. It had spread like heat into her chest, and then all over her body.
Clarissa gasped.
"Easy," said Taney, gripping her arm tightly. Too tightly. "It will all be over soon."
Clarissa heart raced. She felt the heat go into her head. In moments she felt a pounding inside her brain. She grabbed her head and screamed.
And then, the pain was gone.
Doctor Taney looked at her expectantly.
"Contact has been made," said Clarissa woodenly.
"It certainly has," said Taney. "You understand your instructions?"
"I am to encourage all my friends and family to get the NR-1 vaccination. And I am to spread the Infection as far and wide as possible." The words came out of her mouth, but Clarissa felt like someone else had spoken them.
"Very good," Taney smiled.
As she drove home, Clarissa tried to process these new thoughts. Who would she infect first?
Your husband.
"Paul? No!" said Clarissa.
Although Clarissa had been fully Infected, she still felt feelings of loyalty to Paul. She wanted to protect him. Her reaction was not uncommon; nearly half of the Infected harbored reservations about Infecting close family members. The Infection influenced behavior, but didn't always determine it.
You must Infect your husband.
"No," said Clarissa, speaking aloud again. "Can't we make some kind of deal?"
Deal?
"What else can I give you instead of my husband?"
Infections. Many Infections.
"What if I Infect a few people a week?" Clarissa asked.
Insufficient.
"What if I Infect a new person every day?"
Insufficient.
"What is it that you want?" Clarissa asked desperately.
Three.
"What?"
If you Infect three of the Uninfected per day, your husband will be spared.
"Three? How am I do find three people to have sex with every day?" said Clarissa.
The choice is yours. Infecting your husband would be much easier.
"No," said Clarissa. She started to perspire. "Ok. I don't know how I'll do it, but I will. Three a day."
When she got home that evening ,she thought incessantly about it as she prepared dinner for Paul. How would she find three people to have sex with every day?
She was still pondering that when Paul came home.
"Hello, honey," she said, giving him a hug. "How was your day?"
"Tiring," said Paul. "I feel kind of worn out."
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Clarissa.
"Maybe I should get that flu shot. You got that today, didn't you?" said Paul, sitting down to eat.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't recommend it," said Clarissa. "It gave me an upset stomach."
"Did it? I hope you're feeling better," Paul said. He put his hand over hers, and smiled. She smiled back. She loved him so much.
And then a thought occurred to her.
Did I just give him my pheromones?
No. You actually have to will your body to produce it. He will not be dosed by your touch, unless We want it To.
Unless we want it to.
The thought gave Clarissa the chills. There was an alien intelligence inside of her, manipulating her, controlling her body.
The next day, Clarissa made appointments with her hairdresser, manicurist, and masseur. When she went to see Sally the hairdresser, Sally was only too willing to have a word with Clarissa in the back. Only the word took about a half hour, the entire length of Clarissa's appointment. Clarissa didn't get her hair done, but she was in such a hurry that she didn't mind.
Clarissa had never been with another woman before, but the Voice guided her through it. She got through it by not focusing on what she was doing, thinking only of Paul. Dear sweet Paul, she thought, as she rubbed her naked body against Sally on the backroom couch. Sally, drugged out of her mind with pheromone, was hardly in a position to object.
Clarissa went to Infect her manicurist later that morning. She began to fall into the familiar routine. First she requested to go to a private place where a vague but urgent matter needed to be discussed. Then she gently started working on the subject's hands while the pheromone was released. Then, as resistance faded, she worked on spreading it over as large a surface area of skin as possible. Then she removed her clothes, as well as her victim's. And then she Infected them, without any real resistance.
At first Clarissa was disturbed as her victims moaned with the pain of Infection. But she quickly got used to it. After all, the pain was only temporary, and the Voice assured her it was a small price to pay for becoming part of
Us
.
But Clarissa encountered a problem when she tried to Infect her masseur. When she started to rub Bruno's hand he looked down at it, and then at her, and he smiled as he said, "You're a few days too late, Mrs. Pepperson."
Bruno had already been Infected. People who touched others for a living, like masseuses, nurses, and doctors, were among the first to be taken.
Clarissa started to panic. It was three o'clock and she still needed one more person to Infect before dinner. She started walking in a shopping center randomly, wondering who she might be able to Infect, and how.
And then she saw some marvelous shoes on display in a store window and she got an idea.
Five minutes later, she was in the back room of the shoe store with a thin teenage boy barely out of high school, rubbing his scarecrow arms and body. He was so thin that she felt his ribs. Only a day before Clarissa could never have dreamed of having sex with an 18 year old boy. But today she was desperate.
Clarissa returned home triumphantly. She had met her quota.
Very good
, said the Voice.
But you must do this every day.
Every day! For how long?
Until all are Infected.
Clarissa's heart sank.
That evening, Paul started to caress her arms after dinner. She knew what that meant. But she couldn't have sex with him. That would Infect him.
He started kissing her, and it was wonderful. But she knew that the next step after kissing came fondling and after fondling came....
Clarissa broke away. "I can't," she said.
"You can't?" said Paul, looking hurt.
"I have a headache," said Clarissa.
"Have you taken some aspirin?"
"Yes. It hasn't kicked in yet," said Clarissa.
"I'm so sorry dear," said Paul, giving her a hug. "I hope you feel better soon." He let her go, and stopped trying to arouse her. He was that kind of husband, and Clarissa loved him passionately for it.
The next day, Clarissa was on the phone calling contractors. All kinds of contractors. Plumbing, roofing, electrical, whatever she could think of. She said she wanted estimates for repairs.
Over the next few days contractors started dribbling in. This was much easier than seeking out victims outside her home; here they were coming to her, like lambs to the slaughter. Seducing them with the pheromone proved childishly easy. In fact, on the third day, she was even able to Infect four contractors.
"That's four!" Clarissa announced triumphantly, after Number Four had raised his trousers, thanked her, and left. "That means one less tomorrow."
No.
"What?"
Our agreement was three every day.
"So I just slept with that smelly, sweaty plumber with the black, unwashed penis for nothing?"
Not at all. You helped spread the Infection. Congratulations.
So Clarissa learned another rule of the game. More than three a day didn't help.
But after a week of contractors streaming in to give estimates, their numbers started to decline. A few who came over were Infected themselves, giving Clarissa the idea that other housewives who were Infected had had similar ideas. Clarissa would need a new source of victims if she was to meet her quota.
But where could she find them? Clarissa tried going to bars during the day, but they were mostly empty. She picked up a few men in the evenings, but couldn't go out in the evenings too often, because her absence would make Paul suspicious. There was only so many evenings that Clarissa could tell Paul that she was going out to the movies with Natalie. (Natalie, of course, who had recommended Clarissa get vaccinated, had been Infected even before Clarissa.)
