My First Abduction (September 4th, 1989) Lyrics

I woke up from a fever dream

A few days earlier I had come down with the flu and I hadn't been sleeping well

Slipping in and out of nightmares

But now something had awoken me

I don't know of it was the light that came from beside my bed that woke me up

Or the sphere

There was a small sphere, I think about 5 or 6 inches in diameter

It was a light shade of purple

It shone like a lightbulb, but ever so slightly

The sphere hovered beside my pillow, gyrating slowly and emitting some sort of humming Sound

A soothing, relaxing sound

I kept on staring at the object, unable to turn my eyes away

Or to close them again

Slowly but surely I felt the fever leave my body

I was sure the sphere was causing this

All felt nice, warm and reassuring

It was here to cure me

And then it slowly floated towards the open bedroom door

I got out of bed and followed the purple light

It crossed the landing and went into the bathroom

I followed

I didn't even have to switch on the light, because the sphere shone so brightly

Then, all of a sudden, it diminished in size, shrinking into less than an inch

It hovered towards me and touched my lower left leg

I didn't feel a thing, wasn't afraid or even curious

It all felt like it was supposed to be

Reassuring

Calming

Nice

And then it suddenly vanished and everything went black

I woke up the next morning, discovering a white spot on my lower left leg, exactly where the sphere had touched me

As if all pigment had disappeared from my skin

So it wasn't a dream, I guess

Or did I incorporate something I'd unconsciously noticed during the day into my dreams?

I still have that spot

On my lower left leg
