about
It was late one night, maybe 10, 11 o'clock? I was outside, sitting in my rocking chair on my porch in my rustic, Louisiana, bayou home, when I saw it. A UFO, the size of football field (if not the whole stadium), flying some 1000 feet above the sugar cane field yonder. No sooner than when I got up to get a closer look was I grabbed by some invisible force. I had been abducted! What happened next is, well, hard to talk about. Partially because of the trauma, but also because I hardly remember a darn thing! But those aliens, those damned aliens, they did something to me. I'd rather not say what they did, but I'm sure you can guess what. I was in that space craft for 12 years. At least, that's what I thought. When they finally let me go, no time had passed at all. Can you believe it? I sure couldn't, and I still can't to this today. Those aliens, those goddamned aliens made me get a lady alien pregnant! we had baby aliens! They were my children, and I'll never see them again.
Sometimes at night, I hear something that sounds familiar. A hum, a whirring noise. My stomach drops, and I remember what it is. I tell my wife to stay in bed, that I'll be back in a minute. I grab my rifle (which the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution grants me the right to own and operate) and I head outside. Out in the distance, I can see the faint glow of a star that I know is not a star. It's those aliens, those damned aliens. Are they back for me? Do they have my beautiful alien children? Who can say, but I'll know someday. I'll know someday.
This piece was composed throughout my 12 years aboard that dreaded space craft. It chronicles my torment while aboard, and provides an ominous foreshadowing of what was to come when I escaped: separation from my children. I struggle to listen to it even to this day. I hope one day this song can reach the cosmos, where maybe my beloved Scott and Gina (the names of alien children) can hear what Daddy made for them. Enjoy.
