Chapter 1

It had been a long day with 4 hours of over time and I could barely keep my eyes open as I drove home. I had just rounded a curve on the highway when I noticed a strange greenish light up ahead. It was a strange, diffuse light, of a type I had never seen before.

Suddenly the engine and everything electrical in my car died. Without the engine running to drive the power steering the car became more difficult to steer, but I managed to move to the side of the road without losing control or hitting anything as the car coasted to a stop. I tried the ignition several times but somehow the battery seemed to be completely dead. After wasting a few minutes on that futile effort I gave up and got out of the car. Perhaps one of the call boxes along the road would be working.

I was also curious about the light I could see up ahead, it didn't look like anything I had ever seen before. Since I had a choice of either moving closer or away I decided to assuage my curiosity and search for a call box at the same time.

As I drew closer to the light it grew brighter but remained indistinct, somehow it was clearer when viewed from the corner of the eye. The road was barren of traffic, few used it this late.

Suddenly, just when it seemed I was getting close enough to soon see what the light really was, I was hit from behind. At first it felt like someone slapped me on the back, but my legs turned to rubber and a powerful weakness surged through my body. I was barely able to control my fall to the ground enough to avoid scraping my knees or hitting my head. As soon as I was on the ground everything went dark and I knew nothing more.

I awoke slowly sometime later. Awareness grew slowly, for a time I lay in a dream-like state but as time passed I grew more aware of my surroundings. I soon grew aware that I was lying on a hard floor but my head was resting on something soft and warm. I grew aware that I was naked yet the temperature was warm enough that I wasn't cold.

I opened my eyes and for a moment I squinted while my eyes got used to the light. Directly above me I saw the face of a girl, I realized my head was resting on her thighs. I also could see that she also was naked, her bare stomach against the side of my face. I saw her looking down at me and she smiled when she noticed my eyes were open.

"Hi!" she said. Lifting her head she turned to the other occupant of the

room she spoke again. "Hey Suzy, he's awake!"

Turning my head slightly I saw Suzy for the first time. Sitting against the

wall on the opposite side of the small room we were in, she too was naked.

Unlike the girl who held my head in her lap who was blond, Suzy was a

small Asian girl, with long jet-black hair and dusky skin. I turned back to

look up at the blonde girl again.

"I'm Lisa," she said, smiling. "I'm so glad you are awake!"

"Where are we?" I asked. "What is this place? How did I get here?"

"Well ... You might not believe this but we're on a space ship." Lisa answered. "An alien space ship."

"A space ship? Come on! You don't really expect me to believe that do you?"

"Well, you can believe whatever you like," Lisa said, frowning slightly. "But then how do you explain this?"

Instead of replying I took a look around the room. The room was about 5 feet wide and 10 feet long. The light in the room seemed t be coming from the entire ceiling instead of a light fixture. The walls were light blue and smooth, they didn't look like they were made of sheetrock or any usual material. Maybe metal or some sort of plastic. Definitely not a house, not an ordinary house anyway. The far wall contained what was obviously a door, yet there was no knob or hinges. Perhaps it slid inside the wall when it was opened.

"Well, I can't. I have to admit this place doesn't look like any ordinary room.

But I don't feel any motion, any vibration. And my weight feels normal." I said.
