Standing behind
the bars were two men and a women dressed in white lab coats
followed by two guards. The woman approached the cell door and
spoke to Dennis. “How are you today? She asked with a fake
smile.
“Shitty, and you?” Dennis replied. “Is this
where you shove a probe up my ass?”
“Yes, have you been abducted before?” she
asked looking at her clipboard. She didn’t give any indication she
was joking.
“Are you seriously going to put a probe up my
ass?”
“Yes, it is like a colonoscopy. It’s a very
common procedure on Earth.”
“What are you looking for up my ass?”
“It’s a routine health exam, we’re not
looking for anything in particular.”
“Will I be awake when you do this exam?”
“Yes, but you will have anesthesia, I
promise. We’re not some evil race of mutant aliens. We are just
trying to learn as much as we can about your species.”
“How long have you been doing this? I mean,
when did you first come to Earth?”
“I don’t know, maybe a thousand years
ago.”
“And you’re still probing us? What the fuck?
After a thousand years you should know something by now. Are you a
bunch of fucking idiots?”
“Now, no need for such language. We have to
constantly monitor the human species. You evolve so fast that we
need to update our research and data bases on a regular basis.”
“Evolve? You mean you breed with us and
change us to be more like you mother fuckers.”
“Breeding is impossible between you and us.
We share nothing in common. No DNA, different reproductive system,
different endocrine system, we are as much alike as you are with a
rock.”
“You look way too human you liar. You have to
be breeding with us.”
“We look human because you think we look
human. It’s all in how you perceive us.”
“I think I saw this in a Star Trek
episode.”
“Anyway, it’s time for your anal probe.”
The door slid open and the guards entered the
room. With a click of a remote, the clasp on the ankle cuffs popped
open and Dennis was free to move about.
“Follow me,” one of the guards said and
escorted Dennis out of the cell followed by the other guard and the
three in lab coats. They walked down the hall past other cells
filled with the other passengers who were watching them through the
bars. For some odd reason, no one spoke up, it was as if everyone
was scared to say anything and upset the guards. What had they done
to them? Dennis thought to himself as he moved down the hall. Maybe
they already had their anal probes and knew better than to rock the
boat. In any case, Dennis knew to keep his mouth shut for now and
see how this played out. Escape would always be on his mind, but
until he knew what he was up against, he was the pawn of his alien
overlords.
Ten minutes later Dennis was strapped to a
table face down with his butt exposed. What he assumed was a
technician or medical personnel, brought a snake like probe from
the other room and sat it down on a table next to him. The probe
had what looked like a camera on one end and squirmed like a snake
on a sugar high.
“Why is that thing moving on its own?” Dennis
asked scared to death.
“It’s getting acclimatized to the room,” one
of the medical people replied behind a mask.
“ Is it alive?”
“ As alive as it needs to
be.”
“ What sort of cryptic shit is that?”
Dennis asked trying to look over his shoulder. The straps holding
him down kept him from getting a good view. “Is it alive or not?
Who’s running that thing?”
“ It runs itself once it gets a feel for
the subject and its surroundings.”
“ How does it know not to crawl up your
ass?”
“ We don’t have the same anatomy as
humans, we don’t have an ass to crawl up."
Dennis, now more pissed than scared, tried to
shuffle in his restraints and get loose. He knew it was pointless
but what else was he going to do?
“ How long till this starts? And are you
going to warm it up? And where is my anesthesia?”
