OK, that's not the whole truth. But the truth is even more amazing...
Last night I had a strange dream. In it something crashed in the woods close by. I was up really late and I'd seen it come down shortly after 4 am. I could make out something giving off light - even from my home, which is no small distance - so, with my trusty camera in hand, I decided to investigate. What I found was beyond belief! I can only describe it as a classic flying disk, round and domed on top. I waded through the roiling mist pouring from the juncture where its glowing underside was in contact with the wet underbrush, and as I came to the far side I saw an opened rectangular portal. Acting on impulse and emboldened by a growing surge of adrenalin I climbed in. What I found was a dimly lit circular chamber, looking primitive in its simplicity yet obviously the product of advanced technologies of which I was unfamiliar. My eyes were immediately attracted to a particular component of its design.
It was a small raised platform composed of a material with a deep black, velvety finish, and on it a small figure rhythmically swaying as if in an unfelt breeze. It was a familiar shape, as you can well imagine, and it turned to face me as I approached. There was a sudden flash, an electrical fizzling "pop!" and my awareness quickly faded, all the while my nostrils filling with the comforting scent of ozone.
I woke at home in bed, my head throbbing as if I'd slept too long and far too deeply. As my senses returned so too did the memory of the dream. It had been so real. That's when I looked down to find my shoes lying at the foot of my bed caked in drying mud and the remnants of trampled fauna. A terror washed over me then, as an unthinkable realization thrust to the fore of my mind, draining the blood from my face and extremities as it took shape. Fighting against this impossible thought I rushed to my camera in a mad attempt to quell my growing dread. And there I found a single photo of this thing from another world - its razor lined maw! God save us! It had been real! And it's out there! For God's sake, protect yourselves! Protect your families! It's coming! It's coming for us all!
What's that sound? That faint scratching at my window? I'm on the third floor! What could it possibly be...
Arghhhh...
