A woman is captured by extraterrestrials. This is her story.
It started like any other day.
I was on my way to work. It was Monday, the first day back after a well-deserved vacation; I and my husband had just gotten back from a 2 week cruise to Alaska. I was sad to be going to be back to work, but on the other hand, I was glad to be home; I missed seeing my friends and my co-workers.
I was caught in rush hour traffic. Seems as if everybody and their mother had the same idea as me: they all had the same agenda. To get to their repsective jobs before the boss nailed them for being tardy. If there was one thing I prided myself on, it was to be punctual. It was something my military-career father instilled in me, and years later, I still behaved this way. I absolutely hated to be late.
Suddenly, I heard a deafening whirring noise; it surrounded my vehicle. It was so loud, it rattled the windows and caused my SUV to shake violently. I first thought it was an earthquake, but I didn't see any rocks or stones bouncing on the roadway. I then noticed the sun had been blocked out. I thought it was a cloud, but I didn't see any clouds in the sky excepting for high cirrus clouds; and they were pretty harmless.
That was when I found myself being lifted out of my car. Being lifted out by an unseen force. I was wondering what was going on; I looked about me, didn't see anything unusual, but then I looked up, and was startled by what I saw: there was an immense grey, silver, and white spacecraft directly above me.
That was when I put two and two together. I was being abducted by space creatures. That was when I mercifully passed out.
