The light woke her up.
It was really bright. Seattle didn’t get that much sunlight in the winter. Not in the summer either, actually. What the hell? Was there some sort of searchlight on her building from a police helicopter?
Micki flung one arm over her eyes to protect them from the glare. Or tried to, anyway. Her arm refused to move.
That disturbed her much more than the light and brought her fully awake. Why couldn’t she move her arm? She looked at it to confirm that it was still attached to her body. It was. Still covered with striped flannel too.
Good. All normal. Except she couldn’t move.
She tried moving her legs, her hands, wiggling her toes. Nothing. Maybe she’d overdosed on cold medicine and brandy and the side effects had paralyzed her.
Micki couldn’t see anything except the brilliant light that seemed to only wrap around her body—the rest of her bedroom was in darkness.
The light seemed to be pulling at her, swallowing her, and she couldn’t resist because she was too dumb to read warning labels on over-the-counter drugs and had gotten herself paralyzed.
The light swallowed her completely. A sensation of nothingness followed, total sensory deprivation, no sense of anything touching her or even the feeling of soft flannel on her skin. And then she was disgorged onto a hard surface in a brilliantly lit room.
Good. An emergency room. Somebody had found her, they were going to pump her stomach, and she’d live to warn others not to abuse cold medicine. And dammit, her mother was right. She should’ve worn new panties in case of medical emergency instead of going commando. Micki made a mental note to never make that mistake again. Too late now, the doctor would know the awful truth any minute.
Except the doctor seemed awfully thin, with awfully large eyes.
If she’d been able to move, Micki would have screamed.
It had to be a nightmare. Larry’s nightmare.
Wake up, she commanded herself sternly. This is not even your damn dream, so wake up right this minute.
It didn’t work.
She was not in an alien operating room about to be the victim of some bizarre experiment. She hadn’t just been abducted from her own bedroom by Visitors. None of this was real. And when she woke up, she was going to get that helmet from Larry so she’d never have this nightmare again.
While she watched, the thin, big-eyed creature lifted her nightshirt, made an incision in her abdomen, installed some tiny device and then approached her head with something in its impossibly long-fingered hand.
The thing touched her temple.
What if it was an alien mind-control device and this creature was putting it inside her brain?
Micki did what any self-respecting independent modern woman would do under the circumstances. She passed out.
