LiIe`s Journey

with the
Occasional
Alien
ROY DONOVAN
Chapter One
Well one time Bobby had gotten out oI his body, and he
was approached whilst in this state oI astral projection by an alien
who appeared Iriendly. Let me tell you the tale as he told it to Jack.
'This alien, although looking mightv different, was not
grev or green with weird eves etc., in fact he was on the tall side
with a bluish colour and covered in a darker blue outfit. His face
was not unfriendlv, but it was dark with white eves, the part that
should be blue or brown was white. The ears were quite small with
a more normal nose, the chin was straight from bottom lip to chin.
But he didnt talk like us. He could tell telepathicallv what I was
thinking and saving in mv mind, and likewise I could tell what he
was saving to me. He did not smile, but somehow conveved
friendliness.
He said, well conveved to me, that his race of aliens (he
said that there were manv others in his race and also other races
and cultures) his race could usuallv onlv contact with humans via
what humans called astral profection, when their minds were out
of their phvsical bodv. I asked him his name, and he said 'For
now, call me ZMM`, it sounded like Zum or Zim. He knew alreadv
that mv name was Bobbv, which was a bit frightening to me, but he
said 'Do not worrv, we do not intend to harm vou. We onlv come
via a similar thing to vour astral profection, that is how both vou
and I can travel millions of miles in seconds`.
Zum said 'There are not manv of us who would harm vou,
we have progressed through a mixture of biologv, phvsics and
other sciences together with a universal religion. We do not have
people like vour priests and vicars, although we do have some
teachers. I am one of the teachers.`
I said to Zum 'What about God then?`
He said 'God is in the cosmos and the eternal universe
which covers manv galaxies, hence vour bible states in one place.
In mv house there are manv mansions.`
'What do vou eat and drink?` I said.
He made a noise not unlike the start of a laugh and said
'We have made light vears of progress and no longer need to eat
and drink like vou do now, we use a slow release of a nutrient
biological cocktail that lasts us over a vear of vour earthlv time. In
space time is different, but I will tell vou about it on another
occasion, because I am going to meet mv great-great-great
grandson at a point which is now imminent, though not in vour
time.`
'I will, however, warn vou against one of our race who,
although she will not harm vou permanentlv or hurt vou, she will
drain vou for davs on end of vour testosterone.`
I spluttered 'Good God' How can I stop her?`
'You cant,` Zum said. 'Dont worrv. You wont feel pain,
or experience sex the same as on Earth. She picked up a virus on
another planet and she alwavs finds a male who is in the astral
plane. She swoops down and immobilises vou or sometimes take
vou to one of our spaceships, some of which are invisible.`
'Can she get me if Im not doing mv astral profection and
am not out of mv bodv?` I asked.
'Not usuallv,` he said. 'I will go now Bobbv` he
pronounced although I could not hear him, I knew what he
meant.`
