there shoulder and saw the three grey aliens standing up.
The aliens started walking towards the boys.
The kids where amazed, they didn’t know what was about to happen. They were just as astonished by the alien’s big black oval eyes. They quickly jumped up and out of the small chairs and backed away.
They watched as the grey aliens gracefully sat down. The chairs were just the right size for there four-foot height, thin bodies.
They watched as the three aliens worked together as one. Without saying a word they moved their arms ever so smoothly upwards. Their fingers stretched out and the control panel appeared in front of them. They each moved their fingers slowly and gracefully; a few inches back, never touching the panel itself. The ship calmly flew under control. The saucer flew towards the mother ship.
The boys stood back in silence and awe. They looked out the front window as Springbrook Gardens fell away getting smaller and soon the forest fell out of sight.
The saucer flew through the sky. Moving closer towards the massive mother ship. Each of the kids where speechless at the colossal size of the ship. The saucer made its way towards the hanger doors. The saucer was now tiny when compared to the massive twenty-story silver, oval shaped ship. The huge bay doors opened and the saucer entered inside. The kids were amazed as the saucer flew inside the large hanger and landed beside countless another saucers all in a row.
The three aliens silently stood up and walked towards the door of the saucer. One of the aliens gently waved its hand at the wall and the door opened upwards as a ramp lowered. They stepped outside the saucer, leaving the boys inside.
The boys stood still not knowing what to do. Standing in silence, they looked at each other. They stood for what seem like an entirety.
“Ok, what do we do now?” Kyle slowly whispered.
“I guess they want us to leave this ship,” Sam said.
“And go out there?” Bobby asked “Onto the mother ship? Might I remind you, these are the aliens who want to attack earth. Aliens are evil. They might shoot us with ray guns the moment we step out”
“We can’t get back home standing here,” Timmy said. He slowly moved forward towards the door and peaked outside the saucer door. He was amazed by the size of the hanger and noticed the whole room was empty of aliens, just saucer after saucer in rows within the silent room. He slowly made his way down the ramp wondering if a ray gun would take him out the moment he was clear of the ship. He stood on the hanger floor and looked around.
He saw a bright, massive ten story high, rectangular shape, silver colored hanger, where all the saucers looked identical to the one he was just in. the lights above ran in long rows from one end to the other, lighting up the entire room.
The other boys peaked out of the saucer as well. They noticed Timmy hadn’t been taken out by a ray gun so they walked down the ramp, as quietly as possible. Not wanting to attract attention.
The massive hanger doors to there right suddenly opened to the blue sky causing the kids to jump and quickly move behind the saucer not knowing what was about to happen. They peaked out and watched other ships fly inside the hanger. Silently they landed in rows next to each other fifty feet across from the saucer the kids where hiding behind. The doors of each saucer rose up as a ramp lowered, three aliens walked out of each saucer without saying a word.
The kids watched as the four-foot gray aliens walked the length of the hanger to an empty doorway that lead into darkness. The hanger again fell back in silence.
Sam looked around the massive hanger, “This place goes on forever,” he whispered. He noticed how quiet it was. Most hangers were loud with vehicles moving around and people talking. The only sound he heard was their own breathing.
“This place is huge” Bobby whispered, “There has to be hundreds of small saucers lined up in here and we thought the one we saw in the forest was the only one”
Kyle looked around “If this is an alien space ship where are all the aliens? Anytime we see one of them stepping off their saucer they leave through those big doors at the other end of the hanger. Why are they not coming after us?”
Sam shook his head “They must be hiding from us, maybe there afraid”
Timmy was surprised “I can’t imagine anyone having this much technology being afraid of humans. Lets walk towards the doors where the aliens walked to”
“What? Why do that?” Bobby asked.
“If we want to return to earth we need to find someone who can help us,” Timmy said.
Sam looked over to Bobby and Kyle and nodded. They knew Timmy was right.
They started slowly walking through the hanger passing by ship after ship on both sides. The only sound was their feet on the sliver floor, still no life to be seen anywhere. A minute later they reached the end of the hanger leading into the dark open doorway. They peaked through the door and noticed it lead to endless corridor in both directions. The walls were bare of any color, just grey.
Bobby looked down both sides of the corridors “OK, which way?” he whispered.
Sam looked to his left down the hall and then his right. “They both look the same. I guess either way is as good as each other? Lets try our right and see where that leads.”
They all nodded and slowly turned and started walking down the empty, quiet hall.
They passed by room after room and peaked inside. Each room was empty of life.
“How can a ship this size be so empty?” Timmy asked, “We saw all those smaller saucers land, what happened to the aliens who stepped off of them?”
“Maybe they’re hiding, watching us on cameras.” Kyle whispered, “They want us to keep walking”
“Very odd indeed” Sam said quietly.
“I know what happen, they moved everything. So we wouldn’t tell anyone what we saw here,” Bobby suggested.
“Could this be a trap?” Kyle asked as he slowly moved along as quietly as possible.
Sam shook his head no “Why make us walk down a hall first? They already have us trapped on the ship. If they wanted to take us out, they can do so at anytime”
“Wonder if we’re the only humans on this ship?” Bobby quietly asked.
“Maybe others who’ve been abducted have been brought on board this ship. Like officer Reed.”
Sam thought back to the story he read about the couple abducted by the UFO. No wonder it was hard for them to recall their story. He was on the ship right this second and he couldn’t make sense of it. He could just imagine how weird it would’ve been under hypnosis. The ship did look the way the couple described it.
Maybe they where telling the truth. How could they make up such a story and have this ship look just like their description. He couldn’t image how many humans had been brought here while they were sleeping. Of course most people would think they where dreaming. Even he wasn’t sure if it was a dream or not. There’s nothing on earth someone could experience that would prepare you for this. No science fiction movie had ever come close to making an alien spaceship this real. Some how this was different. Movies try to hard to make a UFO look alien; this massive saucer just looks too real, somehow. It felt lifeless, just grey. As if the aliens lacked emotion. As if they had no reason to use color. Maybe they were above the need for color or art. Most humans would’ve had artwork hanging on the walls to express themselves. This hallway lacked all expression.
They slowly walked for a few minutes more and reached the end of the corridor. It would’ve taken them less then a minute to walk the hall if they moved at a regular speed but fear was slowing them down to a halt.
They turned to the right and saw a massive empty room, almost as big as the hanger. They looked at each other and silently agreed to enter inside. Where else could they go?
As they walked inside they looked up and where amazed. The ceiling had to be at least fifteen stories high and the room almost a hundred yards across, but again just like all the other rooms it was empty, only bigger.
Sam looked at the empty wall
s. He thought back to a book he read about the pyramids and when the archaeologists entered they found it massive and empty. He knew this is how they must’ve felt. Now he knew why the pyramids where large and empty, they must’ve been mimicking the inside of this ship in their design.
They slowly walked further inside staying close to each other. The only sound made was the echo of there feet inching forward.
Timmy couldn’t understand why the aliens wanted them to walk down a long hall only to end up in an empty room. It made no sense. Did the aliens want them on the ship to start with? Were they seen as intruders?
They were a few feet into the room when the large door behind them closed without making a sound. The kids jumped and looked at each other in fear.
“Were trapped. I bet they’re going to shoot us with ray guns now” Bobby said while nodding to himself.
“Ok, what’s happening here?” Kyle asked sounding nervous.
“Everyone stay cool” Sam whispered as he looked around the empty large room.
“I think the aliens might take there angry out on us. I bet they think we work with the General” Timmy said.
“This room might be their version of the coliseum. Strange creatures might come from all sides and attack us,” Kyle said.
“Why go after a bunch of kids?” Sam asked quietly, “Shouldn’t the aliens go after the supergun and the General”
“Never seen anything like this happen in a comic book,” Bobby whispered. “Normally there’s something
