He senses they are coming for him,
\nas if he were somehow connected to them.
\nThey come through his bedroom wall.
\nHis mind becomes subdued, his body weak.
\nHe feels his body being lifted off his bed;
\nit feels like a floating cloud.
\nThey carry him through his bedroom wall,
\nas if it\u2019s no longer solid matter.
\nNext he\u2019s in their huge, oblong ship
\nstrapped on something like an examination table.
\nThe inside of the ship has a sterile, metallic smell.
\nHe doesn\u2019t like the look of the strange grey beings
\nand their unblinking, large black eyes.
\nHe senses they are soulless and unfeeling.
\nThey hover over him with medical-like instruments
\nin their abnormally long fingers and spindly hands.
\nThey start extracting fluids from his body.
\nHe feels weak and drained; he passes out.
\nHe wakes up in his bed, his head aching,
\nhis body sore, his mind dazed.
\nHe feels like he\u2019s had a terrible nightmare,
\nbut he knows for sure it\u2019s something worse.
\nAnd he fears they will be back for him again.<\/p>\n
