Richard worked part-time in construction to pay for his college tuition as a full-time college student earning his degree in physics.


    One evening while driving home from a night class on a dark and lone country road, he saw a brightly lit saucer-shaped object in the sky.


    “Oh gosh, I must be tired. Hallucinating UFOs.”


    Stolen novel; please report.


    The saucer hovered over his car, shined a bright beam, and Richard blacked out.


    He awoke strapped to a gurney while humanoid aliens performed bizarre and embarrassingly intimate experiments on him.


    “Who are you?” He squirmed. “What do you want from me?”


    “Richard …” said a voice through a robotic-sounding translator. “We need ideal specimens.”


    “Explain …”


    “You’re well-constructed and extremely intelligent.”


    “So, I’m being abducted to serve you?”


    “No, Richard. Your clones will serve us. You''ll be released soon.”
