Gibberish - Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Mind Games

I woke up again! Yes, I’m surprised my heart is lasting this long. With everything I’ve gone through I thought I would have gotten a heart attack by now.

The weird thing is, I’m actually on a metalic bed at the moment with hands and feet tied as if I were some kind of prisoner. I could only move my toes and my fingers. Everything else was just locked. I also seemed to have a lot of apparatuses around me and ON me.

It’s like this one movie I saw once of someone getting abducted by Aliens…..oh wait. Yup, as soon as that thought came to my brain the doors to the room I was in opened. My eyes were still for some reason blurry but I could see a humanoid being coming through it.

For some reason this one didn’t have any fur in it like the lemur aliens i Saw. Either my bed was raised too high or for some reason these people seemed a bit short

From what my eyes allowed me to see, this humanoid also had a tail. This one though looked a bit more like a reptiles tail. Blue….huh, guess the movie Avatar had it partially right.

As I was detecting all my body sensors I noticed something wasn’t right. I felt a cold.thing on my neck who for some reason made me think of the Stargate SG-1 goa’uld worms. It didn’t seem to be moving though so hopefully it wasn’t a worm or any living organism for the matter. The least I wanted to do was to be a mind controlled freak.

I made a guess I had been out for a few days. The short beard I felt on my face showed it. They probably could have done anything they wanted to me in that time period.

At least they had some decency and I had my own clothes on…not naked for the win. Weird, my clothes seemed to have been cleaned.

Anyways, back to the new alien I discovered. He walked over for a bit.slowly. It could have been to either build suspense or because he had short legs. Either one was slightly funny. I can’t see him well from the metal table/bed I was in though.

He opened his mouth and for once I could understand words. I was surprised. Did they open my head to find out? Was I brainwashed? Hopefully I can ask all these things and explain my status quo.

“Testing, testing; can you understand me?” came the voice speaking in a weird accent. For some reason it seemed to be rumbling on my brain. I wasn’t listening to things from my own 2 human ears, and for some reason I knew that, weird.

“Hello?” Was all I could reply.

“Ok perfect, greetings, they call me Raef’u and you were brought here from the farming colony d6-h1.You are currently on [email protected]#$ science ship. We wish to know your purpose for infiltrating into our borders without authority.”

For some reason, this revelation didn’t seem to surprise me as much as I thought it would. I guess I became kind of numb after going through so many world-view changing events recently.

“I can answer all the questions you have but first can you get me off these restrains. Please show some sincerity.”

These restrains were killing me. I had never been restrained in my life and I strongly wish I never get in this situation again. I just realised I had a phobia for being restrained. The more you know.

All of a sudden my vision blurred and I felt my body being shuffled around. Huh, I didn’t feel any more restrains anymore. It was weird, very.

“Is this enough sincerity for you?” Said.wait, what was his name again? Oh, no,wait, that’s not right, oh,yes,no, nope, anyways I’m going to go with Ralph for now.

My vision showed me something I couldn’t believe. A lot of it showed up recently.

I was in my apartments room. With my regular black and red clothes and a cup of coffee in front of me. On a table I’ve know o had for years.

I would believe I was back home if it weren’t for Ralp -which I’m pretty sure wasn’t his actual name, don’t remember- seating on a couch my parents gifted me when I left home. Ralph was looking straight at me.

Likewise I was able to get a better look at him now. He looked as alien as I could have guessed.

He had a very long neck, regular, big humanoid face and a tiny torso with tiny legs. And of course his reptile tail was laying besides him.

He had elf-like ears but with the difference that it didn’t look at all like an elf ear. His ears were pointy square. Like, don’t think triangle, think rhombus

Anyways, I’ve been having a lot of inner dialogue with myself recently. Helps me cope with what I’m living through. Makes me think I have someone else -me- watching over me and every move I make. I’m I going crazy?probably.

“First of all, thank you for all of this. Second of all I want to assure you I have no I’ll sentiments against you or your race and even if I wanted to, which I don’t, I highly doubt I could do injurious to you guys.”

All the strategy games I played in the past helped out massively. Even though I was constantly in freak out mode I was taking this situation surprisingly well.

Now I noticed I played this exact situation tens of times in the past. Negotiating with aliens was a technique I polished over the years….. The difference this time though? This wasn’t a videogame and my head is probably on the line.

It at least helped me cool down. Back to reality though I had to thread very carefully on my words.

“If I may, my question now. How do you guys know my language? How can you understand me? How do you know what my house looked like? How did I get here? I’ve had a very confusing few days and I hope while I give all the answers you want, you answer some of mine.”

“A lot for those questions have a simple answer” he said.

“Your mind was read”
