He was hiking in an unfamiliar forest with a friend
\nnamed Jeff, and the forest became eerily quiet.
\nThe birds stop singing. The insects stop buzzing.
\nAnd there was a feeling of danger in the air.<\/p>\n
He turned around to ask Jeff if he feels the danger.
\nAnd Jeff is gone, gone in a moment. No sounds.
\nNo cry for help. Nothing. <\/p>\n
He hears a slight hum above the trees.
\nHe looks up and sees what appears to be a
\nV shaped UFO. Then it vanishes and the humming stops.
\nThe forest becomes alive again with the sounds
\nof the bugs and the birds. And some birds fly out of a tree.<\/p>\n
He runs to the Park Ranger\u2019s office and reports Jeff missing.
\nBefore long the forest is full of search and rescue dogs,
\ntrackers, police and volunteers.<\/p>\n
He tells the police what happened, but he sees in their eyes
\nand hears in their words that they think he murdered Jeff.
\nBut although he\u2019s a person of interest, they have nothing.<\/p>\n
A year later, he hears a knock on his front door. He opens it
\nand Jeff is standing there, but he\u2019s not the Jeff he knew.
\nHis eyes are vacant and he\u2019s acting and talking like a robot.
\nHe fears the aliens in the V shaped UFO he saw after Jeff
\nwent missing abducted Jeff, and now they\u2019re after him.<\/p>\n
He runs past what used to be Jeff, leaps into his car and speeds away
\nto a motel in the town next to the town he lives in.<\/p>\n
He spends a week hiding out at that motel until he gets up
\nthe courage to return to his apartment. It\u2019s safe. Jeff is gone
\nand he never sees Jeff again. He reported the incident to
\nthe police, but they never found Jeff or what was posing
\nas Jeff, and he never went hiking in a forest again. <\/p>\n
