A Story of Alien Abduction.......
Not one of the usual tales of being tied down, probed and abused by little grey, orange or silver men. My experiences were considerably less unpleasant and I was returned with quite a warm feeling to this wonderful planet. In truth it was not so much abduction as a VIP excursion. My experiences were stimulating and exciting and combined the best aspects of a cruise, a white-knuckle ride and a study trip. The planet that I visited was one of fascinating diversity including, in places amazing sophistication
The denizens of the planet were almost human sized and had many other similar characteristics however it is somewhat disconcerting to have your companions alternately hopping and shuffling along-side you
The reward ceremony was quite amazing, there was another off world humanoid who actually gave a little speech in the local "tongue", My thank-you speech must have been well translated as it was well received and given quite a noisy applause. There was a selection of prizes and the award that I chose was a beautifully replicated example of their prehistoric pottery.
The hospitality and friendship that I was shown was almost overwhelming and during my stay I was shown many astonishing and wonderful sights by my hosts.
The only negative aspect, if it can be so regarded, was that my hosts were so hospitable and the entertainment and feasting so enjoyable that I found it difficult to tear myself away and persuade my abductors to return me to Earth. "So that, Eminent Ladies and Gentlemen is the main reason why I am slightly late, flustered and dishevelled on this thrilling occasion.
To be given another award so soon after I received the last is a first for me but an exceedingly pleasant one. It is indeed the highest point in my life to qualify for this prize at the 'The International Tall Story Societies' award ceremony, again I apologize for my lateness". -- Anon
