Oh dear. That was riveting to say the least. And yes, Brenda is right. Once alien abductions were all the rage and in order to free me now from this great story's strong power I had to listen to Hawkwind's Alien 4 whose topic is ...you guessed it. Thank you for this tale of yours. All the best.

So very visceral. Took me back to when I was younger and Alien abductions were the topic. I would have loved to read this then. Excellent.

Thank you Brenda. I leaned into the body horror, as it's coming up to Halloween.

Strong stuff but you keep the pace steady as it builds up and the whole thing has an eery calm.Nicely done.

That was an excellent abduction story - with the added horror of the violation/birth/dream?/aftermath. Beautifully contained in a short story. Bloody impressive.
