The Extraction
“They think I’m crazy! I need an extraction immediately.” Maz said talking into her wrist.
“And what are we doing out of bed?” The nurse asked shining a flashlight.
“I’m trying to leave.” Maz told her.
“I think you should be sleeping.” The nurse replied. Maz was marched back to her room and given a sedative.
“I don’t like these pills.” Maz complained.
“Just take it, and no more night adventures please.” The nurse ordered. She closed the door behind her, but heard a thud. Opening the door again, she found Maz was gone. “Damn the alien got away.”

Wanna catch an alien? Drive an old pickup down a dirt road in the middle of the night. Expect probing…

Good one. I should have seen this coming (or going) but didn’t. Well done.

I think the nurse and hospital staff might soon be sorry that they didn’t listen to Maz. We’ll see how they all like being possessed! Covert alien invasion stories are creepy and this one fit the bill! Very nice.
