There were also a few chapters on theories of why people were being abducted and what we could learn from how other cultures view aliens. And of course there was the obligatory stuff on ancient astronauts and how mankind couldnât have built the pyramids without extraterrestrial help.
Poppycock.
Adam found the Repellants section quite humorous. The author explained that oils derived from amaranth, pennyroyal, St. Johnâs Wort, and yarrow had been used for centuries for protection against evil spirits and creatures. She postulated that those evil spirits (and beings) could very well have been aliens and that ancient people wouldnât have recognized them for what they really were. She said she had used various doses to prevent her abductions for years now.
But be careful!
Pennyroyal had been used to induce abortions.
Thankfully he didnât have to worry about that.
Patchouli was good too. Especially used in the amounts that lesbians preferred. Knock you out at one hundred feet. He had added that part. The lesbian part. Mary Minden had only mentioned the oil.
Oh! And salt! Apparently if he sprinkled salt around his house, it had been known to work in one or two cases. But then what had Shane said? That even in Buckman, aliens wouldnât want to take him from his house. And Adam hardly thought he had to worry about being spirited from his fifth-floor apartment. It wasnât like he was on the highest floor either.
Oh! And crucifixes had been known to help! Heâd exploded into laughter over that one. Were they aliens or vampires?
But magnets were what she really guaranteed would work. That had come from the chapter about foil beanies and magic crystals.
One thing he could say about the woman. When he finally figured out the book wasnât some spoof in the vein of Mad Magazine, the Onion, and the Daily Currant (or Fox News, maybe), he was able to see she was really being sincere. She believed her shit.
Too bad it was shit. All shit.
And surprise, surprise! OMG! She lived in Terraâs Gate, not forty-five minutes away. What kind of crazy co-inky-dink was that? It was to laugh!
He took a step out on his balcony for some fresh air, a glass of freezer-cold Crown in hand. His back was hurting from the hours and hours of sitting. Between work and home study, he was on the edge of agony. The Crown was barely making a dent in the pain. He needed a massage. He should call his friend Ric. Ric gave great⦠massages.
But that made him think of Shane.
And that made him feel guilty.
He didnât like it.
He didnât do guilt.
Adam sat down on the brick rail of the balcony, took a swallow rather than a sip of his whisky, and looked down. The evening streets were clear except for a jogger and a lady walking her Westie (he thought her name was Becky and that she lived on the third floor).
