    The One-Eyed Alien Baby Vampire - Roderick Naughton

    Chapter 1

    C ARL HAD BEEN INTO ASTRONOMY since he was a child and got his first little telescope for his tenth birthday. He loved looking skyward and now in his late forties did so with a much more expensive telescope. He craved to experience some form of phenomenon one night while looking up at the stars, possibly even a UFO would do. On this particular evening there was to be a meteor shower dusk.

    Carl was up in his attic with his telescope halfway out the window and pointing up in the direction of the meteor shower. He had some cheese and crackers to eat while he waited for the heavenly show to begin. He also had a bottle of red wine to go with his snack. Carl sipped at his wine and then sliced some cheese for a cracker. Suddenly there it was, the meteor shower had started. He jumped up to his telescope and repositioned it right onto over a dozen little lights in the sky. He watched some trail off into nothing.

    But one of them seemed to be becoming brighter. And closer, the meteor seemed to be coming closer to him, so close that he had to look away from his telescope and view it with his naked eyes. It burned very brightly and traveled right over his window, he even heard a faint whistling sound as it went by. But then he heard a loud crashing sound followed by a lower rumbling. Carl was amazed, a meteor had flown right over his house. He thought that it must have crashed very close to his lawn so he ran outside to look for it.

    Right there in his backyard were the remains of what used to be a tall oak tree, which now was broken in half, leaving splinters all over the yard. But what he saw next amazed him. There was a hole in his yard and it was glowing. He ran to the hole and peered down into it. What he saw was a meteorite which looked like molten led to him. He quickly ran to get his garden hose so as to cool it down. He nervously fumbled with the hose when he turned it on, wetting his pants and shoes. Then he ran to the hole.

    This was it, the phenomenon that he had waited most of his life for. He directed the flow of the hose down onto the meteorite. After about a minute the water had covered the thing but it was still glowing. Steam rose out of the hole and Carl kept the hose pointed at the meteorite. After about five minutes Carl had a large puddle in his yard and the glow was much fainter. He dropped the hose and went and turned off the water.

    He ran back to the hole but now it was just black water, he saw no glowing. Carl was too afraid to stick his hand down into the puddle, the meteorite might still burn him. He ran and got a large tarp that he used for painting and dragged it over the hole. He would wait until morning to explore the hole further.

    The first thing he did when he woke up was get dressed and run out to the hole. All of the water had seeped into the ground and the meteorite was in plain sight. The hole was around four feet deep so he had to go down into it to retrieve the meteorite. He hesitated at first, but then he touched it with the tip of his finger. It was now cool to the touch. Carl lifted the meteorite up and began to wipe off some mud that was caked onto it.

    He took the thing into his kitchen and put it into the sink. Then he filled the sink with dish detergent and water. He rubbed off all of the mud and was left with an eggs-shaped meteorite. It was slightly bigger than a softball and very hard with a thin porous layer on top. Carl couldn’t believe his luck, this was the find of a lifetime. Nevertheless Carl had to go to work that day so the meteorite would have to wait. He carried it upstairs and placed it on his dresser. Then he changed into his work clothes and left for the day.

    His day at work seemed very long to him and he had to put in a couple extra hours. By the time he got home he was bushed. Carl picked up the meteorite and rolled it around in his hands. Tomorrow he would take pictures of the broken tree, the hole and the meteorite so as to document the whole experience. He even thought that he might call the local news station. But now he just wanted to get some much-needed sleep.

    The egg-shaped meteorite began to slowly rock back and forth on top of the dresser. Then it began vibrating, causing a low toned rattling upon the dresser. Suddenly it cracked in half and a single eye peered across the room at Carl. Four tiny feet, like those of a squirrel but smaller began to walk across the dresser. Its razor-sharp claws scratching the surface of the wood. This six-inch-long, one eyed, egg-shaped black creature could hear Carl’s breathing.

    It was a baby from outer space, an alien baby and it was hungry. It wrapped its claws around the edge of the dresser. To the alien baby the distance between the dresser and the bed upon which Carl lay seemed far. It backed up until it reached the wall and then scurried back to the edge of the dresser, its razor-sharp claws stopping it from jumping. Then it again backed up to the wall, only this time it ran as fast as it could and leapt off of the dresser and onto the foot of Carl’s bed.

    It didn’t know what this creature breathing upon the bed was but it instinctively walked up to its nostril then forced its way in. Razor-sharp teeth began to eat at Carl’s brain, right up into his frontal lobe. For a brief moment Carl had awoken and attempted to scratch his nose, but then his whole body shook and his head fell back onto his pillow. From multiple pores on the alien baby came tentacles which dug through the brain making connections with both brain functions and the central nervous system.

    For a moment Carl dreamed himself sitting upon a canoe with an oar in his hands. All around a lake were tall trees. Then the trees disappeared, followed by the oar and the whole lake turned black. Carl stared down into the canoe and then lost all form of consciousness. The alien baby was nearly done securing all of the bodily functions it would need. It was a parasite that subdues rather than ingratiates its host. It stole all of the bodily functions it needed but held none of the memories of its victim. The alien baby had a clean slate running on instincts.

    But the alien baby was also neurotic in that it was only a baby and had not developed its own emotions. Besides having a circular mouth with razor-sharp teeth for chewing, it had two retractable, hollow fangs along the front side of its body. They were there for the purpose of sucking in fluids such as blood and water. But before the alien baby could use them it had to chew away at the roots of two of its hosts teeth to make room. In this case it chewed away the roots for the canine teeth and then popped them out by extending its fangs.

    Normally the alien baby would have been born and given a host by its mother. That host would be used indefinitely and was meant to last for a life span. However, this alien baby had instinctively made due with the first breathing creature it found. Unfortunately, there would be no nurturing for this baby.

    With all of its tentacles in place the alien baby sat up in bed. It now had three eyes but used the eyes of the host to see outside of the body. The alien baby stood up and carefully took its first steps and felt something rubbing on its legs. They were a pair of boxer shorts, the only clothes the host body had on. The alien baby tugged at the shorts, it had no idea what they were for so it tried to tear them off but failed. The host body didn’t have razor-sharp claws and was not as strong as the alien baby would have liked it to be. It pushed down on the shorts and they fell to its ankles, then it simply stepped out of them.

    The alien baby had no idea where it was or what it was supposed to do there. All that it knew is that it was hungry and needed to feed. It began walking around in the house, going in and out of every room but finding nothing. It walked right past the refrigerator because it had no idea what one was. It didn’t understand what it was doing in that house until it came to a window. There in a window across the street was another one of these creatures.

    The alien baby figured that all of these creatures inhabited such structures. But it didn’t care about that, all it cared about was finding something to feed on. The alien baby picked up a chair and smashed out the window. Then it jumped through the hole and landed upon the lawn. The fall had winded the body, the alien baby knew that it had made a mistake. It lay there for a few moments and then started walking towards the house across the street.

    There were bushes lined up along the outer wall of the house, and behind them was the window in which the other body was seen. The alien baby didn’t know how to get into the house. It wanted to take its prey by surprise but it needed a way into the house. It was becoming upset, it walked all the way around the house carefully observing the architecture. When it had come back to the front yard, it remembered that there were windows along with other breaks in the wall, it had noticed three doors.

    The alien baby looked at the three steps leading up to the front door, that it thought is how they come and go from the structure. It walked up to the door and pushed on it but it wouldn’t budge. It found the doorknob to be odd so it pushed and pulled on it and even tried twisting it but it did no good. The alien baby went into a tantrum and started beating on the door.

    The man whom had been seen through the window went to their door and looked through the peephole. They saw the head of the neighbor Carl and unlocked the door. The alien baby had only banged three times before stopping because it felt its actions to be wrong. The neighbor opened his door. Immediately the alien baby punched the man in the face, knocking him to the floor. Then the alien baby’s fangs popped out and it dropped down upon the man and bit him on his throat. With its host’s left hand it had a hold of the neighbors hair, with the right hand it repeatedly pounded on the side of the man’s head.

    Suddenly there was crying and screaming coming from somewhere in the house. It was the man’s two children crying and his wife screaming bloody murder. The alien baby had a tube that stretched out of it and down through the throat of its host. All of the blood from the fangs went down that tube and passed through the throat. It had no idea what all of the noise was about so it stopped feeding and looked up to see.

    It knew that there had been three voices but now there were only two little creatures crying atop of some steps. Then it saw the third one come running up behind the little ones. It had something in its hands and it made a very loud noise. The alien baby had no idea what it was but then it made a second loud noise and the alien baby felt its host’s leg tearing open. The screaming one atop of the steps had somehow attacked from a distance.

    It now had a defective host and still hadn’t properly fed. It decided that it must have the power of the screaming one, so it got up and ran for the prey. Another loud noise sounded and something had grazed the host’s arm, causing it to bleed. The alien baby reached the top of the stairs and jumped onto the woman, pinning her down upon the floor. She had dropped the gun and it fell down the stairs. The alien baby retracted its fangs, its tube and all of its tentacles and came tearing out of its host’s nostril. It then went right up the nostril of the woman and began the process of subduing her. Carl’s dead body slipped down the staircase just as two police officers came running into the house. The alien baby was unable to see through the wife’s eyes yet, but it could hear that more creatures were yelling in the house.

    The police had tried communicating with the wife but had assumed her to be in shock, so they called for an ambulance. It was too late for the husband, he had been unconscious and had bled out through his throat. Carl’s corpse lay naked and shot at the bottom of the stairs. The wife was still considered to be in shock so they put her into an ambulance. But by then the alien baby had made most of its connections to the brain and nervous system.

    Aboard the ambulance the alien baby opened its host’s eyes and saw a female paramedic with a syringe in her hand. It didn’t know what the shiny needle was for but the paramedic started to lean toward it so the alien baby reached up and grabbed the paramedic by the arm and shoved it down. The needle plunged into the paramedic’s leg. Then the alien baby realized that it was somehow stuck to whatever its host was lying on. It was just able to sit up and it used both of the host’s hands to grab at the female paramedic’s long hair. It tried pulling her head closer to its but the host was not strong enough so it triggered some adrenalin in the brain. Then it started to win in a frantic tug of war between it and the paramedic.

    The ambulance came to a stop and the male driver was yelling something which to the alien baby was all gibberish. It heard the driver’s side door shutting and knew that the other creature was coming for it. The alien baby began to retract everything and prepare to leave its host. With the alien baby no longer in control of the now dead wife, the paramedic had the body pinned down. The alien baby tore out of the nostril and jumped onto the arm of the paramedic and ran for her nostril. The female paramedic saw the small, black creature and felt the razor-sharp claws digging into her arm and fainted.

    The alien baby entered the paramedics nostril just as the back doors to the ambulance opened. The male paramedic found his patient dead and his coworker unconscious on the floor of the ambulance. His coworker was bleeding out of her arm in over a dozen places and there were clumps of her hair all around. The alien baby was for the third time in one hour making all of the necessary connections to drive a host. It was not in a good mood.

    The alien baby could feel itself turning over and assumed that the other creature had turned over its host. But it still couldn’t see. It made the connection for feeling pain from the host and it felt something rubbing on the wounded arm, it was wet and it stung. The alien baby wasn’t sure what to make of it so it continued in its task. Then it heard the male paramedic speaking some more gibberish.

    The alien baby opened its host’s eyes and the male paramedic was gone. He was up in the front seat talking on the radio. This time there was nothing holding its host down, it was free to move around. One of the back doors was not shut so the alien baby had its host get up and run out of the door. Now it was free, out on the street. What the alien baby did not know was how disheveled it looked. There were bald spots on the host’s head, the remaining hair was all a mess and there were two big bandages on its arms.

    The alien baby walked up to a street prostitute and stood staring at her. The prostitute spoke some gibberish to the seeming paramedic and all the paramedic answered was Eh. The alien baby had spoken its first word. The prostitute looked away from the paramedic for only a second and was grabbed by the hair forcing her head back, and the fangs came out and plunged into the jugular of the prostitute. Both bodies fell to the ground with the paramedic landing on top of the victim. Now the alien baby was gorging itself on the victim’s blood.

    An ambulance had driven by, and it had been seen by the alien baby. It was afraid of ambulances now and also of those creatures that dressed in blue. It still didn’t understand how it had been shot twice. But it had a photographic memory and knew that what stung it had come from a small object. And it knew that those dressed in blue had all carried such objects. It also now understood that all of these creatures wore things on their outer bodies.

    A car pulled up and some man got out and started yelling at the alien baby. It wasn’t just more gibberish, it was yelling and therefore hostile. The man watched as the paramedic got up from attacking the prostitute and assumed that the paramedic, due to her status was the victim there. The prostitute was dead and the man was walking over to assist the paramedic. Now he was no longer yelling. Instead he was speaking to the alien baby. Eh! the alien baby said. The man wanted to take her to the hospital.

    All the alien baby wanted to do was to digest its meal, it didn’t want to be bothered with this man before it. But it didn’t have words to make him go away. The man pulled something out of his pocket and began to push his fingers over it, then he began talking to it. The alien baby didn’t know what to make of what the man was doing and simply started to walk away. Then the man was yelling again, but the alien baby just kept walking.

    After walking for a couple blocks, police sirens could be heard. The sound was disturbing to the alien baby. It saw a couple of creatures walking out of a bar so it went up to the door and pushed on it. It didn’t budge so then it pulled on a handle and the door opened and in walked the alien baby. It saw that there were many creatures in the bar but it didn’t know what they were there for. There was music playing and the alien baby liked it. It sat down at the bar and a woman came up to it from behind the bar and spoke to it. The alien baby pointed to the open beer that the next person had and went Eh. The barmaid went and got the alien baby a beer.

    The barmaid had started a tab running for what she thought was a paramedic having a bad night. Then two police officers walked into the bar, they were looking for the paramedic. The alien baby saw the men in blue and thought them trouble so it got up and walked for the back of the bar. It saw two doors in a little hallway and pushed on one of them, it opened and the alien baby entered the room. It was feeling tired, the whole night had been fight or flight so far but it instinctively knew that its host was inadequate. Yet it had just fed and wasn’t done with the blood down in its stomach.

    The alien baby heard a belching sound coming from one of three stalls in the bathroom. It wasn’t sure which door the sounds were coming from so it pushed on the first. Nothing but some strange looking white seat. Then it pushed open the second door and there was a man down on his knees, puking into the toilet. The alien baby got own on its knees and shoved its head close to the man’s head. The man turned and puked all over the paramedic suit. Then the alien baby grabbed his head and pulled it close, nostril to nostril and seconds later entered the man.

    The dead paramedic was blocking up the doorway to the bathroom stall and the alien baby uncontrollably puked all over it. Then it forcefully pulled the paramedics body up next to the toilet. The alien baby, whom still could not see a thing, got it hands onto the door and pulled it open. Just then a police officer walked into the bathroom. The alien baby stumbled over and bumped into a sink. The police officer assuming the man was drunk. Then the alien baby could smell and it was disgusting in there. It could hardly wait to have the eyes to see its way out of there. When the vision came, the alien baby was standing right in front of a mirror. It was wearing a blue, auto mechanic uniform, had long black hair and was quite muscular looking.

    The police officer was busy calling in that he had found the paramedic in the bathroom stall. A second police officer had asked for the alien baby’s host to stop and stand still, but again it was all gibberish to the alien baby whom kept walking out into the bar. The police were right in assuming that the auto mechanic was drunk but they had a dead body on their hands and obviously the mechanic had puked all over it.

    The two officers came out of the bathroom and ordered the mechanic to stop. But the alien baby kept walking for the door. The two officers came and laid hands on the alien baby and continued speaking their gibberish. The alien baby was about to remove the canine teeth from its new host but stopped, it thought it a mistake at the time. Two more men in blue entered the bar and walked up to the auto mechanic. One of them said that he knew the guy and that he was simply drunk and that they should cut him loose. The four police officers walked away from the mechanic and went into the bathroom.

    The alien baby walked out of the bar and back onto the sidewalk. Something was wrong with the host, even though it was under the alien baby’s control it was still stumbling around. The alien baby needed to feed but it kept losing its hosts, this world was a nightmare to feed in. the alien baby saw an alley and walked into it, then it went behind some trash cans and sat down. It had been a very trying night and something was wrong with the host so the alien baby decided to just go to sleep and worry about it later.

    Chapter 2

    D ETECTIVE TRAVIS HAD BEEN WITH the police force for some twenty years and thought that he had seen it all. He was called in to investigate Carl’s death along with the neighbor and his wife, the prostitute and the paramedic. All five of the deaths were somehow connected. Travis showed up at Carl’s house at eight o’clock in the morning.

    The police officer on the scene told Travis that they had found blood and two teeth upon the dead man’s bed. Travis decided to start there and went up to the room. He had already heard about how Carl had been naked when he attacked his neighbors. He took out his note book and noted that there were boxer shorts on the floor next to the bed. Then he took a look at the two canine teeth laying on the bed. He looked all around the room, trying to find some tool by which the teeth had been removed but found nothing that would do the job.

    He had seen the meteorite but thought nothing of it. Travis walked around the house looking for where Carl had kept his tools. He found a pair of needle nose plyers in a kitchen drawer and a pair of regular plyers out in the garage. He bagged them both up as potential evidence, he would have them checked for blood. Travis walked back into the kitchen and looked out of the window, he saw that a tree had broken in half. There had been no storms or strong winds all week so he thought that it was odd. Also he noted that pieces of the tree were scattered all over the lawn.

    He went outside and discovered the four-foot hole in the ground and wondered what it was there for. He took pictures of the hole and the tree and then made his way to the smashed-out window. Carl had left the house in the nude and all of his doors had been locked. It seemed obvious that Carl had exited the house through the broken window. He would have to wait on a toxicology to be performed to know if Carl had been on drugs. Now all five bodies were in the coroners.

    Travis went to the neighbor’s house, he noted the bullet hole in the wall, obviously a missed shot. He had been told that Carl had bitten his neighbor in the jugular vein. And had also severely beaten he man in the head. The wife, he had been told was thought to be in shock and taken away in an ambulance. The police had pretty much gotten the story of what happened in that house from the two children. Travis decided to go to the hospital where the ambulance was being kept as evidence.

    He arrived at the hospital and climbed up into the ambulance. There had obviously been quite a struggle between the two women. He didn’t need any hair samples from the clumps of hair that had been pulled out of the paramedic, they had already matched that up for him. There was really no reason for Travis to investigate the ambulance. What Travis was waiting on were the autopsies that would be done that morning.

    He went to the bar and broke the police tape blocking the doorway to the bathroom. He walked in and almost puked because of the fowl stench. He decided that there was really nothing in there to see. But he had been told about the auto mechanic whom the police had let leave and knew that he wanted to question the man.

    Travis sat in the coroners-office for three hours waiting for the last body to be looked at. And then finally a doctor took him into a room with five corpses laying on tables. Carl had razor cuts all on the inside of his nose. He was missing both of his canine teeth. There were close to two pints of the neighbor’s blood found in his stomach. And the strangest thing was that a part of his brain was missing. The frontal lobe looked as though it had been cut away from the inside.

    The husband had severe trauma to his skull and had two holes in his jugular vein. Carl had no canine teeth and his other teeth were not a match for the husband’s wounds. The wife had the same exit wounds to her nostril, multiple razor-sharp cuts originating from the inside of the nose. But her canine teeth were intact. However, she had the same missing parts of her brain as did carl.

    The paramedic had razor cuts all over her right arm. The brain was missing the same parts and the canines were missing. She also had the blood of the prostitute in her stomach. The prostitute had been bitten and was missing around four pints of blood. Travis thanked the doctor and went to question the police officer whom had let the auto mechanic go last night.

    When he got back to the police station the officer was off duty, so Travis decided to go to his house. Once there he knocked on the door. Officer Dean opened the door and told Travis that the auto mechanic worked in the garage on Fifth and Elm. Then Travis went to see the mechanic. When he arrived at the auto shop he was told that Max hadn’t shown up that day and neither had he called out sick.

    Travis was baffled by this case, he had thought that he had seen it all before, but he had never seen anything like this. He would have to wait on forensics to finish up with the finger prints they took at Carl’s house to get an idea if Carl had acted alone in removing his teeth. Other than that he wanted to put out an all-points-bulletin on Max the mechanic. He had thought that maybe this was some flesh-eating disease that was spreading from one person to another. He really didn’t know what else to think. If it were some type of creature, he had never heard of it before. But something needed to explain the razor-marks on the victims.

    Chapter 3

    T HE ALIEN BABY HAD SLEPT for four hours before waking in the alley, a rat was chewing on its finger. It slammed it host’s hand down onto the rat’s back, breaking it. Then it stood up to find out what the thing was in its back pocket that it had been sitting on. It reached into the pocket and pulled out a wallet. It pulled the money out, looked at it and dropped it onto the ground. Then it pulled out some credit cards and a driver’s license. It dropped all but the license onto the ground. The picture on it reminded the alien baby of having looked into the mirror earlier. It put the driver’s license back into its pocket.

    The host’s stomach was empty of food, and the alien baby needed some blood. The body was a muscular one but it felt sickly and weak. It was wearing blue but it didn’t have one of those long-distance stingers that the others in blue had. It remembered a hole being torn into its leg by one of those and it wanted one. It seemed like wherever it went around here it had to fight someone to survive. Nevertheless, it had to feed and there was nothing in the alley but a dead rat.

    The alien baby walked out ono the sidewalk and started looking for a victim. It walked for about five minutes before seeing a man. It sized him up, he was smaller than the host body so the alien baby began walking towards him. It watched as the man waved his hand in the air and then some vehicle stopped and the man got in and it drove away. So the alien baby thought that it could wave at these things and one would stop for it.

    It stood on the sidewalk waving at passing cars for around half an hour before one stopped. The alien baby wasn’t sure what to do, it didn’t know which door to open but it wanted to get its hands on the driver. It tried to pull on a metal thing on the passenger side door but it would not open. The man in the cab yelled to use the back door. Again, more gibberish is all the alien baby heard. But it went and opened the back door and climbed into the cab.

    The cab driver asked the alien baby where it wanted to go. The alien baby freaked out and started to punch the man in the head with both fists. It punched him maybe twenty times before the man was sitting still. Then the alien baby leaned up into the front of the cab to bite the man. After successfully getting its fill of blood, it took the shirt off of the cab driver and replaced the one it was wearing. Then it got out of the car and started walking down the sidewalk.

    It had learned about button down shirts, and it knew how to get into a car. The alien baby was happy that it had learned some things along its way. Now it was wearing a brown shirt with the same blue pants. It remembered that the people in the bar had been wearing all sorts of colors and wondered if it made any difference what color you wore.

    The alien baby had to unplug from receiving pain signals from the brain because besides the rat biting a hole into its finger, having punched out the cab driver was causing pain in its host’s hands. It walked past a police officer and immediately the officer started talking into something. As usual it was all gibberish to the alien baby. But it hadn’t been to the police, within a minute, two police cars pulled up. The officers got out of their cars and started yelling for the host to get down on the ground.

    The alien baby simply kept walking, it didn’t know why they were yelling at it. But then its body went into a spasm, it tried to turn around but instead fell to the ground. It quickly disconnected from the nervous system. Whatever they had done to the host it wasn’t moving now. Again, they were yelling at it, and it didn’t know why. Then they grabbed at it and handcuffed it and stood it up. It reconnected with the nervous system and tried to move its arms but they were stuck behind its back.

    Eh! the alien baby said. The police started to think that it was retarded. They emptied out its pockets and found the driver’s license, they had found who they had been looking for. They took it and put it into the back of a car. Then after a few minutes the car started moving. When they arrived at the police station they took the host to a holding cell with five other guys in it.

    The handcuffs had been removed so the alien baby could once again move its arms around. It went and pushed at the bars and discovered that its host was stuck in there. One of the five men in that cell got up in the host’s face and started messing with it. He was saying all sorts of lewd things to the host body. The alien baby wasn’t hungry but it found this creature to be very annoying so it started to strangle it to shut it up. The alien baby had pumped adrenalin through the host system increasing its strength. The annoying man was punching the host but to no avail. The alien baby had the host run the man into the back wall, where he hit his head with a loud thud. The annoying man was now unconscious and almost dead, when suddenly the host went into another spasm. The alien baby saw that wires were sticking out of it and then it fell to the ground.

    Some officers entered the cell and removed the host, putting it into its own private cell. The alien baby was glad that they had not shot any holes into its host ‘s body but it didn’t like the spasm causing wires. The alien baby decided that it had to get out of there and it wanted a gun. The alien baby pretended to be sleeping for a little while and then popped out of its host, leaving it for dead. It ran along the floor and up to the bars, then it waited for around half an hour before it dared to run out to one of the police officer’s desks.

    The alien baby was afraid that it would enter the man in blue and then take too long to properly connect. The officer’s desk was a problem to climb, it was mostly made of metal. The alien baby would have to run up the man’s leg and chest to get to his nose. Its feet could retract into its body but the claws wouldn’t retract when it used its feet. The officer would be in pain when it climbed up him. The alien baby had hesitated long enough, it needed to become a blue one to get out of there and this one had a gun on it.

    Running as fast as it could it started up the officer’s leg, and the man said something loud. Then the alien baby had to jump from the collar bone up into the officer’s nostril. It made it in and started working as fast as it could to make all of its connections. Another officer came by and the alien baby heard some gibberish but it couldn’t see yet so it spoke, Eh. The other officer walked away. Within a couple minutes the alien baby had a new host, and it was proud of itself for taking a blue with a gun.

    Without wasting any time, the alien baby got up and walked out of the building and started down the street. Cars were going by and it wished that it knew how to hook up to one. But it was the ones with the plastic lights on them that would stop when the host waved at them. The alien baby wanted a cab. It walked for about ten minutes before seeing a vehicle with a light on top.

    The host body waved its arm in the air and the cab came to a stop. The alien baby knew just how to get in. But then came the language barrier, the cabby was asking where the alien baby wanted to go, and it didn’t understand what to do. So it had the host pull out the gun and hold it. It wondered what the trigger was for and squeezed it, the gun went off and the bullet tore through the back of the passenger seat and blew apart the door to the glovebox.

    Now the driver was willing to go wherever this seemingly crazy cop wanted to go. The alien baby pointed forward and yelled, Eh! The cab began to drive forward. The alien baby figured that it could distance itself from the place where the blue was and maybe feed on the cabby later. But for now, it just wanted to relax and enjoy the ride.

    It leaned forward and observed how the man drove the car. Turning the wheel, stepping on the gas or the brake, it was learning to drive. The alien baby was naturally a quick learner but was still only a day old. The cab driver began speaking, it was annoying the alien baby’s relaxing. Eh! the alien baby said. The cab driver started pointing at the gas meter, they were on empty. He started tapping on the meter, trying to make his point. The alien baby saw a couple gas stations and the vehicles with hoses sticking out of them and thought that maybe this thing needed to eat.

    When they came close to the next gas station the alien baby reached forward and smacked the man and then pointed at the gas station. The cabby pulled in to buy gas. When the alien baby saw the cabby getting out of the car, then it had its host get out too. It knew how to sting from a distance so the cabby had better not run. The alien baby patted its holster in front of the cabby, he got the message. Once the tank was full the cabby got back into the car and so too did the alien baby. It pointed to keep going in the same direction and the cab rolled out of the gas station.

    The alien baby didn’t think that the cabby was paying attention to it so it got to work on chewing through the roots of the canine teeth. Then when it used its fangs to pop the teeth out it saw the cabby looking at it through the rearview mirror. The alien baby pointed forwards and the cabby looked forward. Now it wanted to eat but it wanted to at last digest a meal and not have to switch bodies so much.

    They were stuck in some traffic and the alien baby saw someone waving their arm so it moved over to the driver’s side of the car and pointed to the woman. The cabby pulled over and the woman looked confused, there was already a passenger in the cab. The alien baby reached up and squeezed the cabby’s shoulder. The cabby told the woman it was okay, the police officer was riding with him today. So she got into the back of the cab and said hello to the alien baby.

    She had said something to the cabby and he looked confused because he didn’t know if he was supposed to take her somewhere or keep going straight. The alien baby didn’t care about any of that, all it wanted to do was feed. It grabbed the woman by her hair and her shoulder and bent her down in the middle of the backseat, then leaned into her, biting her with its fangs. The cab driver had seen enough, he quickly opened his door and ran off, but he had left the car running. The alien baby kept sucking on the woman’s neck.

    Traffic had started to let up and the car behind the cab started hoking at it. The alien baby still kept sucking in blood. There were now about five cars honking at the cab. The alien baby had its fill for now. It had its host step out of the cab and stare at the driver behind them. They stopped honking their horn. Then the alien baby got into the driver’s seat, took hold of the wheel and stepped on the gas. When it saw that it was coming close to another car it just applied the brake. To the alien baby this was an easy connection between host and car. It had been paying attention and knew to stop on red and go on green but it still wasn’t sure what the yellow was for.

    The alien baby saw a large shopping center, parking lot and drove into it. It drove up next to a pickup truck and then dragged the dead woman out of the cab and put her under the truck. But when walking back to the cab, the alien baby saw a man about to get into a very fancy red car and it wanted it. So it walked up to the man and held the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The man’s skull was blown apart and the rest of his body collapsed to the ground. The alien baby picked up the keys and got into the car. At first it tried a house key, but on the second try it put the car key in and started the car.

    It was as if no one had even noticed what happened in the parking lot, the alien baby had a brand-new car now and had eaten. It looked at the gas meter and saw that the car had eaten as well. Then it remembered that the cabby had used a card to feed the car and it thought about the cards it had thrown away. It would need to find some more cards to feed the car. It had only driven a block from the shooting so it turned around and headed back to the body to check it for cards. When it pulled up next to the body somebody was standing there, they smiled when they saw the police officer suit. They were standing right over the dead man. The alien baby checked the dead man for cards and found some in his wallet, so it pocketed the wallet. Then the person standing there frowned, they didn’t know what to make of the officer’s actions. The host body drew the gun and shot the person right between the eyes.

    Several miles away the alien baby was having a great time driving the new car. It had driven out into a rural area and was speeding around. It really enjoyed playing with the red sports car. It drove down an old dirt road and from about fifty yards away saw another car parked along the side of the road. The alien baby sped up, racing towards the other car and then hit the brakes right as they would’ve passed it. Dust and rocks flew up in the air and the car came to a stop.

    The alien baby got out of the car, it had no idea that it was parked next to a prostitute and her john. The alien baby walked around to the driver’s side of the car, the john was completely paranoid. Eh! the alien baby said. Then it pulled out the gun and aimed it at the john. The female was trying to put her pants back on. The john pulled out his wallet and then pulled out a wad of cash and held it up to what he thought was a police officer. At this point the alien baby thought that this green stuff must be worth something because everyone carried it around.

    It took the wad of cash and stuffed it into its pocket. Then it opened the john’s car door and pointed to the road. As the john was stepping out of the car the alien baby shot him in the back of his head. The prostitute screamed and curled up in a fetal position. The alien baby liked the way this creature looked, it was better looking than what it had. The alien baby got into the car and put its host’s face right up next to her and disconnected itself from the officer and entered the prostitute. Around five minutes later the alien baby had a new female host and another car.

    It dragged the dead john into the woods and checked it for cards. It took the cards and went back to the car. The keys were in the ignition so it started the car and checked the gas meter, it was almost full. The alien baby decided to leave the sports car behind and take this older car instead. So it had to drag the officer’s body out into the woods. All it needed was the cards, the cash and the gun. But once again the alien baby was hungry so it needed to find some blood.

    It thought about how it had shot three people and decided that it was just playing. This was obviously a dangerous world that it lived in and it needed to learn how to play. It wished it could understand all of the noises that the other creatures were making. The language barrier was one of its biggest problems. But if it lived long enough it would eventually overcome that problem. And why had the blue locked it up earlier? Apparently not everyone that wore blue was the same. Now the alien baby’s host was a woman wearing blue jeans and a red T-shirt.

    She had long blonde hair, nice breasts and a thin build. There was also a purse on the floor of the car. The alien baby decided to look through it and found a wallet complete with a driver’s license and some cash. It decided to hide the gun in there, also the rest of the cash and cards. The purse made sense because you could carry around stuff without it being seen.

    The alien baby wanted an abode, something like the one it had been born in. It was tired of its host’s getting into trouble. It decided to search the car to learn more about it. It opened the glovebox and found a map, pens, some change rolls full of quarters and some cigarettes. It unfolded the map and stared at all the lines, it didn’t know what it was for. It picked up one of the pens and stared at it, then it got some blue ink on its host’s hand. So it knew that the pen had left the mark and started to scribble on the map. It felt that these pens could come in handy. It picked up a roll of quarters and opened it at one end. A shiny quarter fell out, but it didn’t know what it was worth and put it back into the glove box. It figured out how to open the pack of cigarettes and pulled one out. It appeared to be some type of food so it bit it. It was nasty so it threw the pack out of the car.

    The alien baby decided it was time to leave the area and search for someone to feed on. And then there was an unpleasant smell coming from its host. Apparently, she had peed herself
