****There is a buildup to this story and it doesn't go right into sex. This is also a fast-paced story as well. I was debating on posting this story but figured why not. I have other chapters written so for those who like it, fear not. For the petty readers who never wrote anything like, DontSellMyCookies and Angstlgnored can skip this story.***

I tried not to think of myself as an asshole and do asshole things to other people. But there came a point in my life where I just wanted to say "Fuck it all, and fuck you world." I now hated people and I hated being around people. Not that I wanted to live under a rock or in some remote cabin building bombs to send to people. I just wanted a quiet life that I did not have to spend around people who had their heads up their ass. People who were so far right and left on the political spectrum just drove me nuts. The only issue was that I was stuck in my life and I was screaming at those who got offended by everything.
Being married was great for a time, but it went stale after awhile. You gain weight and your wife gains weight. Sex gets boring and then all of a sudden she doesn't want to do it anymore or it's not the same since both of you gained more weight. My wife, who I did love, was not doing it for me sexually anymore and I knew she didn't get excited about me either. I fantasized about other women and jerked off to porn not having sex in months. I tried and tried but there was always a problem, issue or something else that needed to be done. Having a child thrown in on the mix just made it more complicated too.
When you get older, nobody tells you that being out of shape does a toll on the body as you get older. Your knees and back are nothing but sources of pain and the prospect of it going away evaporates as you gain more weight. Getting aroused is not as easy nor does the erection last like you want it to.
I decided on going on a diet and doing some hiking to help. Nothing too strenuous, but a few miles here and there as I cut out junk food and soda or at least cut down on junk food. Doing something was better than staying home eating away my problems. I liked getting out and being able to clear my mind too.
I took up hiking and traveled to areas just for hiking. I called it an exercise vacation. I was hiking on a trail near the Appalachian Trail when it happened. It was almost dusk and the sun had turned a beautiful red color as it was about to dip down for the day. I was overlooking a nice area of the forest watching it, when I saw a flash of light. It was not a big flash but it was a fiery looking flash. I was close enough to the spot so I walked downward carefully to the spot making sure I did not to fall on my face.
When I got there, the area of the forest looked burned. All the grass and the small bushes looked perfectly burned in a five foot diameter. It was the oddest thing, as it just looked like a ball of fire flashed and burnt everything and then just went away.
I looked around more amazed that the burn pattern was so perfect and nothing else was burnt. As I looked around, I saw a bright silver looking ball in the ground. As I got closer I could see it sinking into the ground. I picked it up quickly as I dug half of it out of the dirt. It was the strangest thing as it looked like it was trying to burrow itself into the dirt.
The ball was a perfect sphere that looked seamless like a giant ball bearing. It was warm to the touch but not hot. Even as I kept studying it in my hand the sphere continued to stay warm to my touch, just slightly hotter than my body temperature. It was a cold November too and the sphere did not cool down at all.
As I stood there studying this object for what seemed to be like twenty minutes, I saw my phone beep with a text message. I was just about to respond when another flash of light appeared. It was so bright my eyes burned and I felt a force push me down. It was like being hit with a wave at the ocean but not being thrown back too far.
When I opened my eyes, I saw four big things standing over me. The things were creatures of some sort. They were not human as their heads were more rounded than a normal person and completely devoid of hair. They had two eyes and slits where the nose would be. There was a tube of some kind near the slits that ran into a backpack of some kind. Their purple eyes looked wide like some sort of Japanese Anime character.
The one closest to me spoke, but it just sounded like grunts. The others spoke after him and it was nothing but a series of grunts to me. It was like they had hiccups and were angry about it too. I wanted to get up and run but my heart was beating so fast. I didn't see any weapons on them but I had no idea what it would look like.
All I thought was how I made fun of people who said they had alien encounters and now I was going to be one of those people. I wanted to get away fast, but I was on my ass and not in a position to make a run for it; and I was out of shape.
I then saw one of the reach into the backpack of another one. He pulled out a disk looking object and held it in his hand. He stepped close to me and just as he did a white smoke sprayed out all over the place. I waved my hand around but I breathed in as I wondered what was going on.
The smoke disappeared quickly and a calming feeling came over me. It was weird because I was worried and yet calm at the same time. My heart was no longer pounding as my body seemed relaxed. I watched as one of them pulled out a stick looking device with a black tip shaped like a door knob. He walked over to me and began grunting again.
"Discovery of spatial boundary locator found, you." A technical computer sounding voice came from the stick right after the one stopped grunting.
"I just found the silver ball?" I replied being honest and yet still feeling calm.
They once began to grunt again and when they stopped a mechanical voice translated from the stick device. "Employed by Intergalactic Lower Forms Protectorate are you?"
"The what? No. Never heard of them," I answered back not knowing a thing as I finally stood up feeling calm about the whole situation and wondering why I was calm. The situation called for panic and yet, I was calm.
The one alien grabbed my bag that was on the ground and began rifling through it. The other one grunted again. "Need clarification. Interfere with the coring drilling collection soil matter amplifier specimen modulator?"
"I don't know what that is? I just found it after a flash," I replied as I saw the one going through my bag pull out my snacks.
Although I knew I needed to eat better, I also knew that I still liked having something to snack on. Chocolate covered pretzels were a favorite of mine and it was a small bag. I figured I was hiking and it was not a lot of careless since it was a small bag.
As he opened it I watched him take a bite. The other did the same going through it quickly. Their big hands were seemingly gentle with the pretzels as each of them ate it. After doing so, their grunts were more subtle. They just grunted at each other after eating all of the pretzels.
