X-Files and Kate
By Keon Parandvash

Help!
I’ve been abducted!
I saw the show once now there’s no way out
I yell
but my screams are unheard
“The Truth is Out There” is being called out
I listen
And hear no noise
But the beating of Scully’s heart in her fear
I look
She is cold and placid
The look on her face never changes a bit
I hear
The talking of Mulder
The rambling on of alien beings
I watch
And I see him approaching
The monotone voice raising higher in pitch
I see,
The logo is changing
The characters morphing
Until I see myself looking back at me
I know
That I’ve joined the 5 thousands
Of minions destined to stay up ‘till 10
I hallucinate
Of a tractor beam’s pull
Of the alien’s face
As it reaches for me
I reach,
I hold on to the remote
I press a red button
My world disappears
