    On Edge - Apollo Perez

    Summary

    As we understand it, there has always been Lights In The Night Skies! Witnessed Ships that appear, then Dart away, then reappear! Others say they have seen beings from another world! Others say they have been abducted and still others say they have been taken and examined, then released! The general public believes there is something to these stories and still others disregard the sightings and say there are explanations to them and questionable individuals. An eccentric preventive maintenance mechanic that fits in these categories wondered just that. He possessed an incredibly imaginative mind, enabling him to comprehend the principles of the computer world. He had a successful imagination and the thought of What If always got him in trouble!

    Highly Advanced Extraterrestrials have been expanding for years. Traveling vast distances to many planets and systems and mapping their travels. Studying geological surveys and being in contact with other forms of life. In their studies, they have been pushed around with difficulties in their studies! An idea was examined to search for an open-minded being with abilities. To approach a physically fit and mentally capable being Humanoid for use as their protector in 3D worlds! To persuade and not abduct, to have him come willingly and accept this new way of life and help them in any situation. During his travels, he uncovered the secret of his existence, then complications arose and he encountered their technology. Being exposed to Unlimited Knowledge and technology which he picked up, then something happened! He Pushed his Capabilities to Beyond Comprehension! The Beings saw him as, The Chosen One and The Percidean! Stories swirled around the Society of a prophecy of a Person from a distant unknown Planet and of his past and Star Seed! He learns of the stories and acted this way. Then pushes it but believes he will soon be found as a fraud and returned or worse, left abandoned on some planet! Surely Always, On Edge!

    Apollo Perez | 2012

    The story, On Edge, was a personal struggle to keep the story going. Thanks to my wife Ana for her help and support as I spent many hours on my computer. These were trying times as I had my primary job and working part time at the Dragstrip as Top End Emergency. My wife struggling to put her breast cancer behind her and overcoming depression and anxiety in her everyday struggles.

    Every day, I would recount the continuing drama of the main character’s adventures and exploits, bringing fun and joy. The story never seemed to end, and its conclusion was heartbreaking. The story was first written on paper in a manuscript form in July 2012, then laid on my desk. I had many projects and personal struggles with my wife until In the Spring of 2015; I started transferring it to my computer and edited it until its final form. Many Thanks To Her! And my New Extraterrestrial friends for their persistency in adding their side to unknown facts.

    Dad: your work has a special quality that outshines even the famous works and movies! I’m very impressed!

    Daniel Perez: I started reading, not sure what to expect, and this totally blew me away!

    Nathaniel Perez: I’ve read some really good books and some I couldn’t put down so easily but this! Where did this come from? This is really good stuff and I don’t have to hunt down the author for clarifications or insights! You’re right here!

    Eduardo Bareng: This is not really my genre but when I started reading, it got me like an indenture!

    Chapter One

    The Acceptance

    It’s a normal warm summer afternoon as I stand here watching the sun sink into the horizon. The sky is orange with a few streaks of clouds and this sunset is beautiful! It’s a typical summer sunset and I’m working as an equipment maintenance person out in the field. I’m in the middle of an open field outside the city in some new construction site and they are just in the process of clearing the land for some industrial site. I’m standing here just looking around this site. Few ground equipment maintainers are present, with cleared trees in piles and some dirt mounds. There are scattered trees, pits, and stumps with uneven ground. It’s the end of the day and everyone has gone home and I’m checking on the equipment which our company has rented out to this place. Our contract has me checking in on this site and PM the equipment. After completing my checks and putting everything away, I noticed the Fantastic Sunset. There are no obstructions in my full view because I’m in the middle of nowhere. The clouds around this sunset seem to glow with different colors, especially streaks of orange, and change as I stand here looking at it. I’m thinking of taking a photo on my cell phone but I have done it before and it just doesn’t give it justice and always when you turn away, it changes!

    I finish my work and I’m about to get in my company truck but something makes me wait so I’m standing here just looking as I lean on the side of the truck. I’m holding my cell phone and then put I put it down and write on my log book the time I have finished my work. Also, the time I’ll be headed home, but I’m just standing here. I reflect on all the possibilities I had to advance, but here I am. I relax just a little and I think I have less than a minute before the sun touches the horizon. It is so beautiful and I have a majestic view of this! It is such a magnificent sight, as I have always seen this being out here so often.

    It is so peaceful and muted out here and it makes me feel... lonely and insignificant as I scan the skies. The cool breeze on my face has a mesmerizing effect on me as I stand here.

    I see the skies and all of its glory, then I fade, for a moment, and drift into another reality! I am here and not where I should be and this is disturbing, but then again, this is my life here, in this limited reality, but I somehow know it shouldn’t have been this way! Somehow, I got here, possibly against my will or because of certain consequences. The thoughts of me being somewhere else have always been shadowing me. Seeing flashes of another time, fleeting glimpses of other people, and places of another time and place, perhaps another world! The feeling of openness and free will to travel and power to move about! This place was unique and unlike any other. I remember faces and people asking me my thoughts on certain topics. The landscapes of such magnificent beauty!

    I am caught in a whirlwind of voids and riffs, with nothing to appeal except time. I have woken up after a long riff of magnetic disruptions caused by expanding writs and graphs in a linear zeal of expanding duffs, and this is undisturbing. My true self is gradually revealing itself to me, and it’s not who I thought I was. There was a plan in the past to expand towards another world and its people that I remember. I am certain that a destiny quest awaits me to fulfill, and it is the perfect time to do so! I cannot see how I can continue this here, but here I am. This other reality where I was before was just there and ready for my response. I sometimes wish to go there somehow, someway and travel to this far distant land and be this Special someone and for a moment I become focused on this!

    As before, to explore distinct possibilities and expand my knowledge as I force issues and situations and make a difference in a society of people not able to do well in this area! There is a promise to be fulfilled and this want as to go there to continue and fulfill.

    This Being of some consequence reminding me of where I should be at! This quest I have to fulfill and a promise I had made to some people, to someone special.

    This is there and my attention to this! Escaping reality and becoming a different person, free to explore a limitless world, has always been a secret fantasy of mine. To travel at will and be recognized as this individual that challenges and changes situations at will and makes the future outcome favorable!

    I relax for a moment and try to settle myself as I surely want a chance to expand in this direction! For now, I am here and not progressing in my direction. I hesitate for a moment, then I smile and come back to reality and to this place here. I look around and know I am just here and doing what I can. There is so much injustice and misdirection to certainties!

    I think about all that I see and witness here. This place that has a history of racism and civil disturbances and takes what you can attitudes. I see uncertainties in life and convictions and purposes of undesired lurking in the unrest.

    I shake my head and look around and get ready for my departure. I grab my cell phone and hang my head as I am in this world that I have no power to change.

    We have been taught that history repeats itself and we never learn but continue a pattern of discontent and leaders and wars and injustice! Dictators cause suffering and death by manipulating truths and withholding information, seeking power at all costs. I seem to remember a Dark Force that had been expelled and found this place to expand and has been doing so. If I could, I would remove myself and go to a different world and start a new life. A new life of people trying to better themselves and reaching for better! To end injustice and despair and strive for higher vibrations and compassionate feelings. I back up and go to my door and take another look around. The sun has disappeared and the colors slowly fade and this place has become gloomy and it is time to leave. I look at my truck and make sure all is secure and turn to get inside. I have another day to look forward to, but for now I might have a hot dinner waiting for me at home.

    Then Something Catches My Eye! Just off to my side, I see an object coming at an angle towards me with some speed! It is hard to estimate the speed with the sunset and the twilight skies and glare! I shield my eyes with my hand and squint to see better over the scattering colors. My first thought is, is it an airplane? But why would an airplane travel at the height of a telephone pole? It comes at an angle almost directly at me, and it is about a little over a mile away. It almost acts like a hovercraft, but I had never seen a hovercraft before.

    It comes closer and it sort of scares me as this thing is now huge and coming to a stop in between the equipments and the dirt mounds. It comes down on some short landing legs and I’m just standing here as it touches down just fifty feet away. It has some lights but they are dim and now are just glowing and very dim and it seems to blend into this place as if part of the construction site. I still can’t believe this thing just landed here and so close!

    There’s something else. It didn’t make any noise or dust as it settled down. I look around to see if anyone is coming to greet it or some ground support team is coming. Perhaps it’s in trouble or part of the construction site project or something because it doesn’t make any sense.

    We’re all alone here and then I’m thinking this thing doesn’t know I’m here and it might get ticked off if it just now sees me. I’m standing here and don’t move, but how can I stay here and how long can I not move here? How many times has this thing done this!

    A chilling feeling comes over me as if... I’ve seen this before, or at least been a part of something, a different reality, or just something! Perhaps it will come to me but for now this is coming to me as if my past is catching up to me!

    I’m standing here holding my log book so if they just now see me they will know that I belong here and doing my job so they wouldn’t worry about me chasing it! Then, from the side or I think it’s the side because it is round, a door opens. It’s a Hatch type door and a ramp that extends down to the ground.

    Inside is a light and three figures float down the ramp. I say it or they float because they don’t walk down like normal; they seem to walk like they are floating as they move like they are moving in lightweight motion. When they come out, they spread out to their sides, but the middle person walks straight towards me.

    They appear to be males wearing some kind of strange suits and I’m thinking they are Test Pilots wearing these G suites and that would explain their strange appearance! And the way they move around, well, the suites - being that tight might make anyone walk funny like when you wear tight underwear or when they go up your butt when you get up! All of this would explain the strange walks.

    All of this makes me relax and I smile and fee them as friends and so this person keeps walking right up to me and stands here, right in front of me! I remember from long ago... this feeling of love and compassion taking over my emotions! The feeling of friendship is the attitude to have when amongst friends!

    This time I look straight at his face and I get this strange but familiar feeling. He looks really strange with no head coverings and then I can see he has no expression but seems to study me. He is just standing here looking at me and I look back at him like as if to be someone special or common, then I look around at the others and then the craft. Then I look back at him and say, Hello! Are You Okay! I ask this because he’s just standing here looking at me as if expecting a reaction!

    Then his answer just blows me away!

    He says I Am Here To Inform You - Your Presence Is requested On The Command Ship.

    He says this in a strange language; it is not foreign to me but totally not from here or anywhere around here.

    I now have my mouth open and say—Me! And I point at myself with both my hands on my chest! I ask where is your Command Ship! How do we get there!

    He then points with his eyes as he turns his head over his shoulder just a little and says, Beyond Your Moon. The Moon is over his shoulder and it’s a Full Moon and things are getting interesting! Somehow I know there is something more to this!

    I ask, How long before we get back? And he answers, Three of your years.

    Wow! I’m blinking as I’m thinking! I look down then around as I’m still thinking!

    So many things are going through my head, my mind. I feel an opportunity of as in desperation, an expansion of anxiety developing from within with tension distorting!

    Then I realize a crack has opened and I see my position developing. I really want to go but, the timing has me adjusting and I am married! I have kids but they are grown up, so that’s no problem. Then I’m thinking who’s going to continue in my place and pay my bills! She can’t afford my trip for three years! If I can manage this, but it’s most difficult if she’s struggling! It’s all about money and I have this low end job and it doesn’t pay all that well for the work that I’m doing, but at least I bring home a paycheck.

    I don’t have that much saved, but as long as I’m working, things get taken care of. I look around and I’m sure I can work something out but I need just a little time but then again, this is happening right now! I just know that I need to take this opportunity as this will not happen again!

    There is more here that is realized! This is certainly my chance to get back where I belong and these writs that I had been waiting on has opened and I just need to step in and make this move!

    Suddenly I feel this urge to push forward and take this as best I can. Then I look at these guys and what they bring. Oh how can they ask me this like as if they mean it! If it’s about fantasy, then I’m in it all the way, but how can it be? I have been here so long my mind stumbles to comprehend! One thing is for sure, these people are definitely not from here! Then a familiar inner voice seems to suggest my strength of will! These things are going through my head like wow when he extends his hand and presents a small piece of Rock or Mineral encrusted Stone about the size of a tennis ball and says, This Will Help You Until We Get Back. I reach out and accept the stone and it is heavy! This solves many problems and makes it possible.

    Then blindly I ask, When do we leave?, and he answers, In Three Days We Will Be Here Again. then he pauses and says, Be Here This Same Time In Three Days.

    He then half turns and motions over to the Ship with his arm as if to tell me to look inside. As if to inspect it I guess, so I can understand him and his true intensions!

    We both walk over to the entrance ramp and walk up. I step on it and I’m blown away at the concept of walking up on a spaceship! Somehow, this feels so familiar! I walk up and come up to the big Hatch doorway and stand here at this entrance and look in. The entryway leads directly into their Main Systems Area and I can see so much!

    The purple lighting and sounds are of excitement and systems going on and this seems as if the normal. I can appreciate the way things respond in such a manner and I can almost recall such episodes! It seems to be such a flash back as I have seen this before! There is an urgency to push forward!

    Then there’s another excitement and people moving around and he says, We Must Leave. I back away and walk back down the ramp and the other two quickly walk back up the ramp and I back away, then turn and go to my truck.

    I turn and just in time to see the doors close and the legs and ramp retract and the craft goes up and in a different direction and then it accelerates to a high rate of speed and seem to hesitate for a moment then zig zags as I think I see a car coming in our direction then turns away then turns again.

    Then the craft lifts into a cloud and just like that, it is gone! All of this happened so fast it has me shocked, spooked, actually! Then a familiar feeling comes over me and has me in an anxiety! I snap out of it and quickly go into my truck and fumble with my keys, then drive away. I get on the main road and I’m headed back home like I ‘m doing everything normal. I drive as normal as possible but I’m shaking as I just now notice it! Wow, I’m thinking, did this really happen? Then I turn my hand over and look at the stone!

    I get home and pull into my driveway and park and just sit here in my truck. I look around and keep looking over my shoulder and up in the skies and think for a moment, then pull out the Stone again. It is heavy and sparkles a lot and I wonder just what I’m holding here! It’s Wednesday and they want me to be there again Saturday evening - at sundown. Oh Common! This was a dream, I’m thinking! Well, if this Stone is as real as it looks and feels and can get me enough money for three years, then I’m all set! I put it away, then calmly walk inside and see my wife frustrated at something. I guess she had a typical day as I did!

    I pull her over and spend the rest of the afternoon and evening explaining this to her and she thinks it’s wrong and stupid to believe this is real. She has the most ridiculous look as I’m telling her this! She looks and looks at the stone and keeps shaking her head then says now where did you really pick this up at!

    The News tonight has reports of some strange lights in the skies and sightings of strange objects going across the sky and other reports are of an asteroid or meteor or space trash crashing down. Then she sees this and looks at me and says are you sure you didn’t make this up! I tell her darling, what I experienced just blew my mind! What about the rock! She says you must be crazy! You actually think this plan of yours will work! All I want to know is why me! I know what I know and believe and dream about and I think of myself as not being myself but that’s another story! My beliefs of the beyond go further than normal but it’s this feeling of complacency! I know deep inside I am not of this place and this feeling is so strange and not normal thinking and this is why I keep these thoughts to myself!

    This time is not of this time or my time but of time having no meaning, no consequence! There’s writs of truffles and wroth and currents of duffs and trails and this is of why my being is! I step around and decide to make adjustments and take the adsorption of this time. I have to make this in proper and think of what and where I am and the place I am in.

    I have worked on several pieces of equipment for years! I also help program some lifts and electronics on some other equipments but I could not move up the ladder at work at anytime! They have always given me the Dirty Jobs and all the jobs the others don’t want. I always work on Holidays and on call on most weekends. I’ve been the person they ask to cover when they need someone. I’m not that popular like the others and they all get the New Trucks and jobs where there’s High End Positions. Still I’m not trying to get back at them or show them off! I just want to do my job and my part as the team and to our company and put in some hours and get a better paycheck. I’m thinking perhaps one day I will get a better position and all will be Okay.

    I tell her baby, let’s go to the science place and see what its worth. She just shakes her head and agrees. This night I can’t sleep! I don’t think this has as much effect on her because I hear her snoring and this makes it even more difficult for me to sleep, but somehow I do.

    The night has colors and voids with flashes of people and a place in distress. I see promises and strange concerns and people or entities in meetings with discussions of properties and no involvements with other decisions. I see disastrous events unfolding with beings in transitions and dealings in unworthy causes! Somehow I see restraints placed on certain individuals and properties not known then of being reborn! How could this be and where do I go in hiding until it is time!

    I wake up gasping and not knowing where I have been! I reach for my belongings but do not see my normal things but plain trifles and duffs and this is not normal! I’m up early and step outside and scan the skies! I truly believe my time has come! It is here that has me taking my steps to become closer to what was or should be! I just know a writ has opened and I need to step through and this is the condemnation of my travels and being.

    This morning I ask for some time off from work and then my wife and I drive to the Government Funded University of Science that’s not far away. We park then walk to the Information area and ask some questions about the lights yesterday afternoon.

    She says they don’t know of such incidents but they have gotten so many inquiries in their department! I tell her I had heard of it but I have something to show you and then present her with my Stone. She takes it and shows it to some people that get interested in it and then they have some analysis run on it. It takes them some time and then they say it has qualities not known and they ask to run more tests.

    I tell them it is a stone that came to me from an unknown source and it has properties, not from here. Several important looking people come closer and seem to know more of it and tell me they have run it through and then ask to purchase it. They give me a figure that’s an astounding amount and they want more Stones. I can only tell them I have only this one and they keep asking questions. Then finally they’re convinced that I could only have found it since I travel to the outer edge of the city and it is a meteor.

    The amount is a significant amount because of its content and it’s going to be available to us in a few days. It’s enough for several years and she says you can go on your trip, if you’re dumb enough to believe in it! I tell her if it’s true, then I’m going to act on this and see it through. She agrees and says to go ahead with this, but then she says I’m going to have a Big Belly Laugh come Saturday night.

    We take the deposit note and walk out. She says you know, if you go with them what makes you so sure you’re coming back! I tell her dear, if this is true, then I don’t care if I go to Mars, as long as it’s true! Then the whole ride back she is just looking at me and shaking her head. The next day is Friday and I go to work to inform them about my extended days off but I’m going to inform them of my decision on Monday. They’re puzzled and say I can return anytime and he says he’s sorry for the behavior of all of his employees. They say I’m an employee, but I know they just want me there to pick up the slack jobs nobody wants. I don’t know how I got this label and position, but I think this goes on in every job. I don’t think they were expecting this from me and they probably can’t replace me that quickly.

    My wife and I go over a lot of things but she doesn’t expect anyone to be there Saturday evening. Bottom line is she doesn’t believe me! Then she is looking at the deposit note and says we’re getting more than enough money on that Mineral Rock, more than you can make in ten years working like you are.

    Well it’s Saturday morning and again we go over all our plans, it’s like I’m going away forever! It all seems so ridiculous thinking I’m really going somewhere but What About That Damn Rock! It is real! I couldn’t take a chance of this passing me by so I have to act on this and be ready even if it seems ridiculous!

    This seems like things are coming together and I just know it! It is now and I can’t keep this from passing, but then again I can’t create a negative of impositions! I try to maintain this positive field with love and compassion. I seem to remember myself as being such a person, a person of higher quality and forcefulness.

    It’s now in the afternoon and we get the notification about the deposit and it is now in the bank. She is shocked but still she tells me this is only the stone we gave them. I don’t know where you got it and I certainly hope you didn’t steal it from anyone! I tell her sweetheart it is real, and it was them that gave it to me for this trip of a lifetime! I really want to go with them and I’m ready right now. Then we go over the way to spend the money.

    Then I go to my room and pack a small bag and I also put my hunting knife in it just in case and also my MP3 player with my earphones and my Ipod with a recorder also just in case. I secretly put my personal information in a song as a message to myself in case they erased my memory and I would be looking for answers. I know all of this sounds silly, but I’m doing things and thinking of things that are not normal. I didn’t tell anyone about this because I didn’t want people to think I’m crazy.

    Also, if things happen, well then I would just disappear and my wife would have to explain things to whomever. I don’t know what my kids would say about my disappearance and lack of warning and explanation. It’s like I said, I’m doing things that are not in my normal thinking and doing. These are strange grounds and walking on nails or treading water uphill or, oh crap I don’t know what I’m talking about! It is now time and we get in my truck and she takes me to the site in it. If it’s true, she will park my truck in the company’s parking lot and she would deliver my message. We drive out the city limits and drive out, then turn off onto this county road. We pull up to the site and I point as she’s driving to the same spot where I normally park. Everything is muted, and I look around to make sure we’re alone.

    The sunset is about the same, but this time there are more clouds and I feel so much anticipation building inside me. Then off to our right there’s an object coming at us at a fast rate of speed and it’s almost here and my wife says, Oh My God! It Really Is Coming! I’m also terrified of the prospect of leaving with these people and this craft and for three years!

    This All Seems So Unreal!

    How Can This Be!

    What Have I done?

    Did I make a pact with the devil?

    Then I remember how things have been before and start to vibrate high and build up my inner peace within myself.

    I look at her and she’s even more terrified than I am, perhaps it’s the fact that she will not know about me for a long time. I’m shaking but soon I settle down because I know I need to keep a sharp mind and keep my eyes open and understand everything as things happen.

    I look at her and tell her you need to pull yourself together and do things with a clear mind, take things as they come! I remind her we went through some hard times and we always took challenges head on and this is just another challenge we’re facing and I’m ready for this. I hold her hands as I say this and she nods as she seems to understand. I tell her to keep things together, you have all the money to keep things in order until I get back, whenever it is.

    I get ready, and we kiss and hold each other in a hug. I tell her if this is going to happen then things are going to happen Fast! There’s going to be an attraction and we’ll be in a hurry! Then we both turn to see the craft.

    It comes up to the same spot and extends its short legs and hovers then touches down and the door opens and the ramp extends down and only the same person I spoke to is standing at the entrance.

    My wife has her arm around my waist and I grab her hands as we both see this spectacle! Then I turn to her and drop her hands, then turn to the ship as I step away from her. I quickly walk towards the ship and to the ramp. I hurriedly walk up the ramp to him and I look back and wave to her, then quickly go inside the craft.

    This same Being greets me with a nod and indicates with his hand and arm into his craft as I walk in and this other Being shows me to an elevated portion of the ship and a seat next to a port window and the seat automatically contours to my body and acts like a vacuum where I can’t get out without help.

    Then the lights dim slightly as the Hatch closes and there’s excitement all around. It’s a strange feeling being here and on this ship as I’m trying to settle down! For a moment it feels like a hollow sounds emanating, but then again it changes back to normal.

    I gather myself and try to remain as who I am but I know things will change but I must remain as myself. I’m thinking, this is my world now and I am here with them. I must accept things as they are and change my perception to become as they are. Then I broaden my senses to this place. I’m setting myself to this place here and I seem to be accepting this as normal.

    The whole damn thing is humming and has a very slight vibration and the air seems very fresh! I lean over to look out the port and see my wife waving and then she notices me as a light comes on behind me and she sees me as she directs her wave at me.

    The next thing I see Shocks Me! The ground moves away from us, then I see the clouds, then the hazy horizon and distortions and my light behind me goes off!

    Then from the view port some weird lights flash then darkness then as I struggle to look down I see what I believe is the curvature of the Earth and the Blue horizon with white streaks of clouds then nothing as I believe we have curved away! I understand we’re in a hurry and we left rather quickly and I certainly hope we got out safely and without getting anyone in trouble.

    Funny how I don’t feel anything! No movement or pull or swing or angle up! When you’re in an elevator, you can feel going up and down, but here, I didn’t feel anything! How can that be? Things just don’t add up! Then I notice that things are fractionally heavier here but very stable but still very puzzling as I think we’re still moving perhaps still going up. Then I see him turn to look at me and I see him and don’t make an expression but try to remain calm, or as calm as possible which is very hard! He doesn’t say or do anything but he seems to study me to see if I’m alright, I think!

    I look down at my hands as I keep turning them and flexing them, but I’m just thinking, I just started this new path and direction and I must stay my path and become as them. I don’t know what they want from me or expect from me but I do know they will study me and run some tests to see who and what I am!

    I believe people are people no matter who they are and where they are from. Living beings are all just about the same and the only difference is in what time frame they are from! Beings adjust to their living conditions on their planets and I’m just another example of a being from this planet.

    Then I look up and around as the lights get very dim but some walls have light outlines but then I can see some controls are on the walls and that’s what’s lit up and not lights. I can also see star charts and other mapping routes and destinations highlighted on the walls and this makes the place lighted. Then slowly my eyes get adjusted to the room, and it slowly gets normal.

    I see more people moving around and they don’t pay attention to me at all. You would think someone like me is always around like this! Then I’m thinking maybe there are more people from Earth here and they’re collecting them and I’m sitting here because the cargo hold is full. Then I’m thinking this is not the case because they’re not holding me except this chair, but the chair is not all that strong just enough to keep me from falling off!

    Wow, I thought! Is this really happening?

    Oh shoot!

    What am I doing here?

    Now I have some questions. What am I really here for?

    What’s going to be asked or demanded of me?

    He said my presence was requested in the Command Ship but what or why am I going there for and what am I going to do for three years? I wasn’t going there for questions and answers or even to play patty cake, so I’m thinking, are they going to do some tests on me and see what or how will I react? Perhaps they want to know more about me, where I really come from!

    It’s too late to say no, so my thoughts are perhaps I could compromise on what tests they could run on me. One thing for sure, I accepted and got paid in full and now I have to do what they say because they bought and paid for me. I belong to them!

    Then a thought comes to me! Perhaps I’m not what they think and I am not what they want or being me is not what they look for but what I am made of! Things are not as it seems and my presence and prize is in question because I think differently! My Planet is beyond others but this is my understanding and not reality! Truth is truth and my being is what’s in question.

    Then I glance at the Port View and see darkness, but then I see something that Blows My Mind!

    I see the Moon at a distance and moving away!

    How can this be?

    How could we be moving that Fast!

    I still can’t feel anything but just a funny feeling but nothing else! I have to look out the Port again to be sure that we were really in space and not still sitting on the ground or perhaps this is another joke or prank that they were pulling on me at my job - my coworkers and probably laughing at me just outside!

    I look closely and No—It’s true! I’m really here and they cannot duplicate the gravity in this ship and I really saw this ship land at the site and not once, but twice. Also the University had no part of this joke and they verified its authenticity and I got confirmation of the deposit but couldn’t access it until Monday and it’s through a reputable bank. I’m really here and this is really happening!

    Okay - Okay I’m thinking, get a grip of yourself boy!

    Then I think I see flashes of colors, the same colors I had seen before! Then an inner voice telling me to settle and update yourself. I’m thinking are they projecting this into my mind!

    If this is true then, I should do anything they ask but I need to learn what they try to teach me and be Important so they won’t consider me as expendable or not important enough.

    I need to be significant and valuable and be an asset to them. If I’m here, then I aspire to be a part of this crew and contribute and put out and do my part. This is who I am and so I make up my mind.

    Then I hear them talking to each other and there’s conversations back and forth, but not all the time. They also keep looking at each other and now I understand that they also communicate telepathically! Then I hear them talking again. It’s a strange language but I need to learn their language in order to do my part.

    This is my personal priority to myself, to learn and understand them and somehow learn to speak it and become important. I don’t aspire to be a problem, but a part of them. I also need to keep my thoughts in control for when they scan my thoughts.

    I turn my head and somehow I remember something about this! I remember the proper use and ways of ourselves and the right to be and how we pertain to ourselves and the right of others and are in control. Something about this that eludes me, for now. Perhaps it might come back to me but for now I’m here and getting closer to what it should. I look outside again just in case but he walks up to me and says I need to close the Port because of precautions. Then the window port closes by itself. I know this is my world now, and I become settled inside and I am here. Then I look at him and say we need to talk. I tell him I’m ready and need to get started in learning so I can be ready when we get to where we are going. He has no expression as he leans back on something and says you need to learn this language as it is essential for this meeting. It is priority, along with our existence, our way of life. I ask him how long do I have before we get there. Again, I’m shocked at his answer.

    He says it takes a format of continuous segments, equivalent to your month’s periods to the Command Ship. A quartet of four segments is estimated and from there we will travel to your destination in another two segments. I say to him, You said I’m to go to the Command Ship! You said I was requested there! I thought that’s my destination!

    He says the Command Ship was is your first destination and if you pass, you will proceed to the Final Destination. I get scared now—I’m thinking - If I Pass!

    So I ask, what if I don’t Pass!

    Is This Test Hard To Pass!

    What Kind Of Test Is It!

    How do I prepare myself for this test!

    I seem to have gotten agitated because he holds his hand out and says your first test is to learn our language and our way of life in this dimension then there is the physical change and if you do not pass, then we will take longer in proceeding and you will take longer to get back home.

    Then he asks, Do You Want To Get Home In Four of your Years! Or In Five!

    Then I pause for a moment and answer him. I say to him, then I will surely pass the tests and I nod and slowly start to calm down.

    Whew I got really scared there for a moment and then I remind myself, I said I would do what I can to be important and do what I can to be a part of this crew, this team and do my part. If learning their language and learning this new way of life, then I will master this with flying colors and be this person they really want me to be, perhaps what I was! He then asks are you ready and I don’t have to think about it! I don’t hesitate because I have already made up my mind and I’m actually anxious to start and I just say When Do We Start!

    For the next few hours, he lays it out to me. In my language, he tells me how they all perform their duties and work to their best abilities and do everything they can to do their jobs as perfect as you can. He uses some strange words but I understand he is not from my world but from a totally different Planet System and he is conversing with me as best as he can.

    He is actually doing a job in choosing his words, to tell me the things I should know. If he could do this, then surely I can do my best to learn his language and understand not only him but his people.

    He explains things to me in how I understand, but soon I know he’s going to change to his language and I will start the most difficult time. My job here is to understand and read and write their ways and is to speak and understand their language and then how to exist in their world. This is better. If I am to learn this, then I will be important! I’m thinking, why would they want me to learn all of this if I’m just a test subject?

    Am I to become one of them?

    Why Me!

    Perhaps there are some truths to my thinking oddly back home. I just knew that I was not from that time frame but belonged to something else and got taken then trapped in that what I perceived as real but in fact I was taken then deposited in that which I became!

    Perhaps I was someone important that had to be taken out or adjusted or even removed and saved and just now brought back to my reality to resume my tasks or position! Then again, perhaps I was part of a team that had to be taken out and somehow they are bringing back, which was to what is!

    Perhaps I got discovered and they are stealing me as a prize, or perhaps I’m a token of some sort! My mind is going haywire and I must stay as to who I am and not go off the main wheel!

    How did they know about me or did they just land there and I just be there and they weren’t particular who they picked up? Perhaps I really am a typical test subject!

    Then I’m thinking, just perhaps there is a reason for my original thinking! Perhaps there are truths as to why I think this way! Perhaps I am from another... time format and it is just out of my reach!

    As I’m here thinking to myself I went from being up then down as thoughts go through my head about my origins and my position here. Okay, I may be someone or I’m not that special, but just was at the right place at the right time. At least my house will be paid and all my bills and more. I have already agreed to myself that I
