This story begins in a small town just south of the Mexican border. Here I sit with nothing but the clothes on my back, half a bottle of tequila and a paranoid feeling that someone or something is coming for me.
I have been on the lamb for what seems like an eternity but actually it has been 10 months. Moving from town to town, trying to piece together the shredded memories that haunt my dreams. I don't know who they are or what they want with me. All I know is that I have to stay one step ahead of them.
It all started while on a hiking excursion in the Smoky Mountains. One night while lying under the stars there was an incredible sight in the sky. A beautiful dance of light and shape, that I can only describe as a mixture of a meteor shower and the northern lights. For a split second time seemed to stand still, you couldn't hear a sound. I couldn't move? A feeling of tremendous pressure but total weightlessness engulfed my body. There was a flash of white hot light that faded into total darkness. I found myself lying in the woods 50 yards from my campsite the next morning. My head was bounding like I drank a gallon of rock gut vodka the night before. I stumbled back to my tent to find my things turned upside down. Almost over grown and deserted? I broke camp and headed back down the mountain. As I stared at the rocky horizon, I couldn't help but think. Something is different...I feel different?
On my way down the trail I saw some police cars lining the roads shoulder. Something told me this was not a normal patrol. I quickly turned left down a dirt path and shut off the engine. I began to feel an aching in my right forearm. I could feel a bump under a small scar near my wrist that I don't recall ever having before last night. I had an overwhelming feeling that I couldn't deny, I had to know what ly in the woods. I got out of my jeep and crept through the woods with as much stealth as possible. Although it was morning the umbrella of the trees leaves provided many shadows to conceal my presence. I began to hear voices in the distance. As I approached them my arm began to ache even more. I closer I got to the voices, the more intense the pain became. I could see several men in the distance. Some were wearing white lab coats and some in, what looked to be modified haz mat suits with something written on the back. I had to get a closer look. I slowly moved in closer. The letters blurred into focus. They said "A51"? Hiding in the darkness of a huge tree I began to get a glimpse of what would be the biggest shock of my life. It all was becoming clear. Those weren't just lights in the sky. It was a UFO! The flash of light was a crash! I began to shake. I grabbed my arm as the aching escalated into unimaginable pain. The bump on my arm began to glow a bright teal color. How can this be happening to me! While trying to calm myself down things went for bad to worse. They see me! The glowing light from my arm! I've got to get out of here! I could hear foot steps and branches breaking behind me as I ran through the forest.
I jumped into my jeep and flew down the mountain road. I could see the officer’s clammering to get into their cars. I hopped on the interstate and drove for 6 hours straight all the while pondering, who were those men? What were they doing with UFO? I could have kept going if the red light on my fuel gauge wasn't screaming at me to stop. I pulled over at a mom and pop gas station and filled up. As I stood next to the pump I caught a glimpse at an old man sitting on a rocking chair outside the store reading the newspaper. Then the headline hit me, LOCAL CAMPER MISSING. I went over to the news stand a picked up a copy. Staring at the front page I noticed the date, APRIL 25th. My god! It's been four days! Was I lying on that mountain for four days? I had so many questions. I needed answers. What was in my arm? UFO shrapnel? A51? Could that mean Area 51?
Can't be, that's just an old wives tail...
Just then my arm began to glow again.....
hmmm... Area 51 huh... If that's where I can find my answers... Then that's where I going.... (to be continued.)
