Carol was a divorced woman, still good looking and in shape but no love life to speak of.
She had even considered hiring a gigolo so that she could get off once in a while but was too embarrassed and felt frivolous paying for sex.
Blind dates although pleasant, were bland, with no chemistry to speak of. Plus it was so complicated to consider starting over with someone after so many years of being with the same person. She told herself she was content with her career, dog and her neatly appointed home.
One night she found herself suddenly awakened from her deep sleep because her dumb dog would not stop whining. She got up to let him out the back door and groggily waited for him to return. âHave to invest in that automatic dog door openerâ she reminded herself. Strangely enough, her dog would not leave the back stoop and she tried pushing him away from the house with her foot. He whined and retreated into the house again.
She noticed the strange pinkish glow outside but attributed it to her neighborsâthey were DJâs after all. When she turned around after locking up the back door she found herself face-to-face with a male stranger. She almost screamed but for some reason she was just frozen, her vocal cords seemingly paralyzed. Carol seemed to have no ability to speak or make a move. He was definitely male and was not quite human. His body was lean and his face nondescript but not the scary face youâd think of when it comes to aliens. Her dog just cowered in the corner. âSome guard dog!â she thought.
The male alien reached out for her and she could not make a peepâit was as if he had a power over her but not with mechanics or lasers or anything of the sort.
His body gave off an incredible heat which she felt when his hand brushed her hair off her shoulders and removed her nightgown over her shoulders and let it fall to the floor. She felt afraid but still could not move. She was naked aside from her slippers.
