Under the cloudless sky, the non-twinkling stars, I trode my way back to play pool in the company's housing campus. It was some time past 1900 Hrs on the 13th day of September 2008. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning or something that sort of, blinding me instantly, holding me on my steps. What followed it seemed to be outwardly bizarre and chaotic.



I was kidnapped! I was held as an hostage by Aliens, not possesingthe slightest resemblance to the scores of aliens depicted and immortalised in many a films. I was tortured mentally. They were an advanced race truly, going by the ease in their command over the english language they were speaking. I am unable to recollect their appearances, as it seemed to be completely erased of my conscious mind.


They were after my keen intellectual thought and profound understanding of the world going by their action of choosing me over others ;-). They put various problems spanning all the known and unknown subjects before me and having an untrained mind not put through any of such tortures before, I couldn't solve any of them :D. Some of the problems were very 'physic'al in nature, as they were having a lot of 'kets' and 'bras' and 'thetas'. The hostage situation had no end, I thought. They made a life-size clone of me from the DNA extracted from me to replace me in the natural world so as not to trigger a panic situation on Earth of me being going invisible all of a sudden (I am so revered upon earth :-o, didnt know that ;-))


They carried various experiments upon me, me under sedation during this process, They were trying to extract knowledge about the intellectual and anlalytical capability of the brain is what I felt. I lost count of time, the seconds, the hours, the days, the weeks, the months, all diluted beyond differentiation. All the events happening around the world was spoon fed to me, including the experiences of my clone. Maybe they would let me go back into my natural environment once their experiment is done with (so I thought).

Their tiring mind games with me gradually decreased and the day came when I saw myself waking up in the morning from my own bed. This wasn't a dream or the experience I felt through my clone. This was really happening to me, I am free again after being taken by the Aliens. Or was it a bad dream. It felt so surrealistic. I hoped not to have such encounters again. But I was wrong, they returned in what seemed to be a few seconds, hours by their standards, they made me aware of what their aim was (I will not divulge it here until they visit the earth again and I be the only person to know how to address them, to talk about their purpose on behalf of all the species on Earth :D).

Before parting they happened to tell me some of their names, here again I am not capable to completely ennumerate the aliens who I had met through the course of my ordeal.
They had weird names (all of them spelled their names for my comfort) like :
Lethargeeee (because of numerological factors),
Sybarite,
Profligate.

In short, I was feeling lazy to write :-)

'Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.' - William Jennings Bryan

Once chosen, try hard may, your destiny will pull you to itself. I am feeling this pull and it is only a matter of time when I will be jumping wholly into this :-)
