A Little Time To Kill

to help me. And he told them they would be meeting in his “secret lab” and where they should meet him. Later that night he met them on a street not far from where the aliens told him to meet them. After all the scientists who arranged to come arrived, we set out on foot through a trail in the woods so they wouldn’t know where we were. Once we arrived the bright light appeared and everyone was hypnotized and unable to move except for him. Their bodies were all teleported onto the ship while he requested that the leader erase all knowledge of tonight’s events so that this incident could not be lead back to him, and the leader agreed. His decision lifted a great burden from his chest to know he was safe. As he thought of the parts of their brains being used to fuel this ship, it made him angry, but not as angry as the thought of the world being shrunk to a nothing. When they were done he was thanked for his cooperation and they were sent on their way. They sent them to their cars where they had met and he told them the experiment could not be held due to a minor difficulty with the equipment in the lab. They had offered to help fix the equipment but he told them it was no use, it would have to be sent to the factory to be repaired. They went on their way and he traveled the long road home. He thought, what if one of them remembers something from what happened tonight. “No one will believe them if they say anything,” he thought to himself. “Why did they pick me of all people,” he didn’t know. The next morning at the office no one said a thing about the ship or the aliens. Later that night he was, again, taken by the aliens to the shuttle. Where he then realized why they had picked him. They had found that the type of knowledge found in his brainwaves would fuel the Continumtransfunctioner for extended periods of time. He tried to escape because he knew they would kill him and take his brain for themselves but all the doors were sealed shut, and he couldn’t get away. He thought to himself “I must have revenge against the space people.” They strapped him to a table and began removing his brain. With his blood rushing out of his body he thought his last thought “A Little Space to Kill.”
