When the Sky Turned Pink, I Froze Some Sperm

Lana is still missing. There are no updates on the blackout. It's been six days since the city went dark. Six days since the sky turned pink. We wake up every day with the sound of military planes and choppers, except last night. With a bright flash and a smell similar to that you find in an office building, I woke up. I saw bright white orbs levitating around me, eyes? What is going on? I tried to move my body, but my hands and legs were tied. I felt a sudden sharp pain in my abdomen. Is someone drilling something inside me? I could hear beeps and bops of nearby machines. Is this an operation theater? The orbs are moving hastily around me, seemed almost like they are… dancing? 

The pain in my abdomen is getting sharper. I can't take it anymore, ah! My hands clutched in a fist. My legs stiffen. Let me go, I shouted with every bit of sound I could conjure in my throat, but why did it feel like a whiff of smoke on an almost cold cup of coffee? Suddenly the pain died, and I relaxed at last, only to be hit with the realization that something was missing down there. And it was exactly what I had expected, or in more honest terms… feared. 

Wait wait wait… hold on. So you are saying you are impotent because the aliens cut off your genitals? Look Alex, I love you. We dated for so long, and honestly, I don't care that you have an issue. I would love to be married to you, and the rest we will figure out. Please don't feel bad about it. There are so many options now. We can…

I am not lying, Lisa! That is exactly what happened! The sky turned pink, and the city was in a blackout, that's when the Aliens came! I still get nightmares about what they did to me! 

The sky turned pink, and the city lost power, because of the explosion in the nuclear power plant near the city. It was a catastrophe, I agree, but there were no aliens, my love. I think the trauma of losing your sister Lana in the blast made you dream all of this. Maybe that's how your brain made sense of it all. I'm so sorry, do you want to have ice cream?

No, it's fine. Also, you don't need to worry about my condition; I have frozen some sperm. What? You froze sperm? Why?... I had an essay in my school that told me to write about what I would do if I woke up and found myself surrounded by aliens. During the class, my friend Miguel said he would freeze sperm because the Aliens cut off our genitals after kidnapping us. It stayed with me, so the first thing I did when the sky turned pink, I freeze some sperm. Why are you smiling? 

Nothing, let's go home and watch a movie. Lisa and Alex left the cafe and headed towards home. For a second, Alex felt, a pair of white orbs staring at him from the corner. Keeping watch. Alex quickly shrugged off the feeling and went ahead. 

I think I will need some Ice Cream…
