Our mission had been a routine exploration of a new solar system. The last thing I remember is being on the bridge when we lost ...ll power, and after that complete darkness, followed by the strangest sensation of weightlessness and being kneaded like piece of dough, sometimes dry, sometimes wet and a sticky warm wet feeling that went everywhere through every orifice and sent tingling sensations to all of my body ,then came what can only be described as forced yoga, during. The straps held me tight, even my forehead wasstrapped down so I couldn't lift my head and see what was happening. I sawa shadow move, and then I found myself looking up at this big ugly guy. He looked down at me and said. "Welcome to the real world, what's yourname?"

You see, as much as I love my woman, we aren't so physical anymore."I knew where he was going with this. I hesitated. He wasn't my ideal partner, but I didn't know what would happen since I couldn't pay my cab fare. I think he took my hesitation as consent. He opened his door and then closed it.
