Chapter Fourteen: My Daughter

In late 1989 I took stock of myself: One thirty­something Homo sapiens of Italian descent, caught up in something he didn't understand. Feisty, but overpowered. My mirror did not lie to me—I looked rough. However, this latest experience gave me a better sense of control. And the fact that I'd stopped drinking—made me feel like there was still hope.

I wasn't going to let this thing get the best of me. I started to eat regularly, exercise, and take every opportunity to sleep. Yes, the abductions continued, and yes, I was not a smiling Jim Sparks—but my physical health improved and my weight shot back up. Plus I probably smelled a heck of a lot better, too. Still, I didn't socialize. Teresa checked in on me and even stayed for periods of time, but I didn't want her at the house long. My father would call me from Florida. "Hey Jim," he'd say. "Come and visit me and your Mom." He didn't exactly buy my aliens story—but he thought that getting out of Texas for a while might do me some good. Dad was convinced I was sick. I'd refuse, but something deep inside told me it might be a good idea and one of these times I might just do that.

The abductions continued. I won't bore you—they got to be a routine—but around this time something else happened of note. I was there in alien zone, sitting with the teaching thing. The workers were working, and the lesson was spinning along—then everything halted. The machine went black, and the workers froze.

In came the Supervisor, and he froze too! A queer feeling came to my gut as the light in the room began to dim. My head and eyes seemed pulled to the left. Five feet away was a hologram: a tall, quite steep, jagged cliff, rising up to a sharp peak. The light that projected from this hologram was intense, its clarity astounding. An intimidating figure appeared, perched on the peak of the cliff—a magnificent sight! It radiated power and shone with glory. It was a birdlike figure, but not just any bird. I recognized it from pictures, though it outstripped those pictures.

It was the mythical phoenix, glorious in gold and silver plumage, with flashing blue, blue eyes. I was awed and overwhelmed. There was something terrifically spiritual about the thing that just pierced me. My pulse pounded, and I stood transfixed as this phoenix spread its large wings, almost as though ready for flight. Just at the point that the blinding light was too much to bear, and the bird-thing seemed poised to fly straight at me, with a sharp implosion, the thing was gone. Normality returned. The teaching continued, the workers moved, and the Supervisor left. I couldn't continue interacting with that machine. I was just emotionally drained.

"What the hell was that?" I asked them. When they didn't reply, I got some of my angry emotions back. I yelled at them and called them mindless drones.
