“And then the light embraced me, like a kiss. It kissed me and it felt so warm. The light was singing to me. It lifted me off the ground where I’d lain down to get a good look at the stars. My back arched and it felt like all my bones were snapping. But they weren’t. I went into the light. It lifted me up. There were hands all over me. Small, moist hands. They pinched me, and the sting of it felt like fire ants biting me up and down my body. They were taking something essential from me. Somethin...g from my insides. The light was so bright and the instruments they used to hold me down were cold. They were gray. Little gray men. I swear they were gray. With big eyes. All pupils and no color. That was how I knew that it was like I said and not like what everyone else thought. Those eyes had no color. I never saw their mouths move, but I could hear them. The words were meaningless but I knew that they were talking about me. It was a swarm of sounds inside my head. I remember thinking that listening to a song in their language would be painful.MoreLessRead More Read Less
