Voluntarily abducted by gruesome alien buoy hush ghouls


(any resemblance between the following events – jotted down courtesy slipshod memory years after the fact -- and married life purely coincidental)

Although pitch-black that hot summer July night 2011, an ominous ghastly shape could lumbered near the skeletal partially built addition at lower merion high school. This phantasmagorical amorphous entity hovered outside the flying saucer. I stood stock still as my cold breath created miniature clouds that formed a gauzy window. thru this opaque ether movements detected. Pincer like tentacles shredded faux misty shroud and quickly grabbed me. I found myself on-board a battle gray extra-terrestrial object.
fate delivered me into the "hands" of what appeared as the most surreal setting created by ingenious computer graphics technicians. Nanny nanny boo boo uttered the creature from black abyss. Since what sounded like outer space gibberish as a second language not an elective when i attended methacton high school (nor colleges for that matter), an automatic reflex took over.

I offered a gap toothed (i.e. Alfred E. Newman - what me worry) wry smile. An immediate interest arose from these outliers at the metallic post intended for dental implant. a crazy idea occurred. maybe these foreigners for another galaxy could secure long overdue permanent like tooth with charging an arm or leg! ha! Non-verbal communication resorted to as a necessary expedient to establish comprehension and self preservation. In addition, the notion to avoid any action interpreted as hostile best be applied even at the expense of being whisked away countless light-years from 1148 Greentree Lane, Narberth, Pennsylvania.
Psychiatric medication (Prozac and Klonipin prescribed by doctor David Lee Nodule Wrought) most definitely eased anxiety per dread that loomed large within my quite active imagination. I willingly made clear (using all manner of gesticulations) to surrender myself, which idea triggered a gob stopping flicker of excitement. Wow! This bizarre situation could offer this golden opportunity to escape the tragedies of terrestrial existence and perhaps link up with another weird organic life form human or otherwise. Once this electric like surge coursed thru each fiber, I brazenly approached the other-worldly specimens guarding their shimmering craft, which appeared to hover just barely above the perimeter slated to be another state of the art wing of this campus. As the buttoned down thimble sized son of a Taylor, I hemmed and hawed with tentative steps before nonchalantly scaling the hydraulically propelled ladder. At once, an immediate whoosh took place. After these myopic eyes adjusted to the scene, I observed an identical earth like landscape and heard what sounded like the most melodious chimes. Actually, that globe happened to be dear third rock from the sun as viewed from the nearest window. Upon setting foot into the structure, an automatic accelerator jettisoned this motley crue at warp speed. Within my mind I thought what to do to pass the time. Instantaneous sans any desire promulgated that very wish. Ah. Perchance, these ethereal creatures (large and small) conveyed messages telepathically? I put this hypothesis to a rudimentary test. Within my mind, I silently uttered Matthew Scott Harris. An instant reply came back - in my head. Every one of these wraith-like cosmic nomads understood whims wirelessly, thus believing yours truly (moi self) to believe said species reduced signals to digital bits and/or hallowed weaned bytes.
