A not so welcome visit

 

The weekend was here, Kalina was being driven mad the second she woke up by the simple fact that she couldn't advance any further at her job. There was no work at all to be done. No matter if she plugged way at her PC being a workaholic. All efforts on the matter, at least for this weekend would be futile. She decided, in the spirit of such, she would need a hobby. 

After breakfast and playing with the two cats a bit, she went to the town mall. Each shop was curious in nature to her. She didn't have a lot to spend but she wanted to do something worthwhile. After spending much of the afternoon there, she decided to get a research station. If anything, she would be able to spend her life pursing the simple but complicated art that is science. She rather enjoyed the challenge of it all. 

Back home, after she finally had it all set up it was time to fiddle with her new toy. To see all that it could do. She loved every beep, sound and whoosh it made. She was sure within time she would discover what remarkable things the machine could do. For now, she was happy simply just to research and learn about it as well as learn about life. She could see all she wanted up close and even perform experiments. 

It was close to 2 A.M. when Kalina decided to call it quits with the research station. She was quite tired standing before it rubbing at her eyes. She saw some flashing lights outside and bolted after the door, intent on chasing them down. What happened next though... would be a story no one would believe. A beam of light came over her and against her will she was lifted up in the air. 

Poor Kalina was taken aboard the ship of madman aliens that enjoyed experimenting on the human race. She had heard stories always but never believed she would be a target. Now, she was living the nightmare. A few hours later she was brought back where they found her, though, not unviolated. An alien discharged from their ship a moment before promptly retuning  to his vessel after a very dazed and confused Kalina was put safely back on the sidewalk.
