Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects Missing Time
Close encounters of the forth kind are by far the most
frightening abductions of human beings by aliens.
According to those who claim to have been
abducted, they're transported by a beam of light aboard a
space craft; set up on an examination table surrounded by
strange creatures, probed and prodded as
tissue and fluid samples are taken; and then returned to
the point from which they were abducted. Most often with
little or no recollection of what
happened. The one thing they know for certain is that
minutes, even hours have passed that they can't account
for. This form of amnesia is known as missing
time.
The first months, I couldn't seem to grasp, those black
moments, holding me in a state of loss. Until one day,
when it all caught up on me. After that, I
worked real hard for years at suppressing all abduction
memories. Now that I remember it all, I'm scared to death
almost all the time. I know they'll be
coming back for me again. They always come back.
