What would you do if a childhood friend sent you a long, rambling email about kinky sex with aliens? That's what recently happened to me. The only reason I can think of that he would do so is that he knows I've seen a lot of weird shit and written about even more really strange stuff so I would probably believe him. Also, he knows how many stories I post and I am pretty sure he expected me to publish his email on some of my story sites. In fact, he even gave me the name to use for the story.
He says it's true– hell, it might be, but I can't ask him for further proof. No one has seen him since about a week before I got this email from him and the reply address comes up as invalid. I tried to back trace the IP and it also comes up as invalid. Despite not being able to verify anything, I decided to publish it exactly as he wrote it and let you decide for yourself. Maybe it will stir some deep, forgotten memory of gray beings with big black eyes... and the feeling that you had some really fantastic sex somewhere but you can't remember where.
The email reads as follows:
W, I am sending this to you because you will believe me. No one else believes me. They say I am imagining all this or that I am having some sort of strange seizures. I can understand why they would say that. I do have seizures– or I used to. Whenever I have to fill out a medical form and it asks, "Have you ever been knocked unconscious?" I answer "Yes." Then where it says, "Provide specific details" I say, "See attached page."
We grew up together, W. You know that I was always the one who fell out of the tree or off the cliff or got hit by a car or conked in the head with a line drive or was still lying on the grass when the rest of the team went back to the huddle. I guess the straw that broke the camel's back– or more accurately the bug that put that final piece of scar tissue in my gray matter– was when I got knocked unconscious by a cicada while riding my motorcycle about five year ago. Even you had trouble believing that one until I showed you my helmet with a hole in the front of it. I hit that sucker at somewhere well north of ninety miles an hour and he went all the way through the shell and padding and put a big bull's eye bruise right in the middle of my forehead. It was a miracle I got into the median and slowed down enough to not hurt myself seriously when I tumbled off the the back of bike. I had a hell of a headache for a few days but that was all. I thought everything was OK after that. Then the seizures started.
Luckily, by then, they had developed a pacemaker for the brain. At least that's how my doctor described it. They put some kind of tiny computer in my head with a network of wires connected to my brain. Whenever it senses that a seizure is about to begin, it zaps the correct area of scar tissue to stop it. But that anti-seizure pacemaker does more than that, W. It stops an alien memory wipe.
I know that sounds like I've stepped off the deep end and went straight to the bottom, but listen to me. These alien abductions are real– at least mine was. They scooped up six of us– three men and three women. I was just getting ready to go to sleep when all of a sudden I was in this huge place with five other naked people and a bunch of grey things.
One of the little gray people walked up to us and said, "Please don't be afraid. We are not going to harm you."
I noticed right away that his lips weren't moving. That was real easy to tell because he didn't have any lips. Actually he didn't have a mouth or a nose either... just big black eyes on a long, gray face. He was naked, so I could see that he didn't have anything between his legs either, but for some reason I still thought of him as "him."
"You may call me Robert 1739," he said into our minds, " or just Nine."
"This is a colony ship," he began to explain. Somehow his voice, or whatever it was in my mind, sounded sad as he added, "... a failed colony ship."
He walked around us so we had to keep turning to watch him as he kept talking. "Many centuries ago, we left the home planet. Many ships had left before us, but we were the last to leave before the catastrophe struck. We were almost not in time. A massive energy wave from an exploding sun in a nearby solar system was destroying our planet even while we were lifting off. We thought we had protected ourselves by keeping the planet between us and the source of the explosion– and for the most part that was true. But there was a great cloud of gamma radiation which accompanied the blast. And that went through the planet... and through us... like... like... like gamma rays through anything."
He pointed to a vast area that looked like a warehouse filled with tall metal tubes and said, "The intended colonists survived because they were in specially-shielded stasis chambers, but they did not escape without damage. There were DNA changes and all of them are effectively sterile. The original crew got the ship out of harm's way and started a pre-arranged emergency awakening of a secondary crew before succumbing to radiation sickness."
He gestured to the other gray beings which surrounded us and then said slowly, "That was us... the original copies of us. We are now a clone crew.
"It has been many centuries since we left the home world. We have each gone through many, many generations of cloning as we traveled through space searching for a new home planet. But each copy contains slight errors. Some new clones do not survive. Others actually become more suited to life in space. In effect, we have evolved into what you see before you now."
"So what do you want with us?!!" one of the other men shouted.
