The drawing taped to my locker was done in black
ink on a sheet of notebook paper. The
fringe on the spine stood at sharp angles to the paper’s edge. Chunks of fallen-off fringe lay scattered on
the hallway carpet below my locker.
In the drawing a UFO was abducting a cow. The cow was levitating off the ground towards
the UFO. The cow had udders. The cow
said, “Moo.”
The UFO was the standard UFO disc shape, its
command center encased by a transparent bulb.
The UFO controls were under the direction of a man
and woman. They wore unitards. Each unitard featured an uppercase ‘L’ on the
chest.
The man said, “Ok.
But remember this time I get to do the anal probe.”
The man grinned a semblance of Jack Ford’s worldwide
famous grin. The woman didn’t really
resemble my sister, but who else would be flying a UFO with Jack other than
Maddy McCall?
Both of them had antennae. Behind them stood an alien with a
potato-shaped head and antennae. The
alien held a copy of Forward, the guidebook for practicing Lucentologists like
Jack and Maddy.
