The Interdimensional
Extraterrestrial

(From the novel
The Alien Artifact 7)

The IE altered its composition as it
unsuccessfully tried to leave the confines of the universe, and its
shape glowed and vanished into powerful bright explosions of
energy, blasting out from its exploding spacecraft, as its fight
for survival began.

For the first time in its existence it felt
pain and saw death, and its formation constantly altered as it
controlled its individual parts to a degree of individual cells,
stopping itself being absorbed and destroyed by the colossal
infernal.

In horror it felt its destruction but
finally a hole formed in the mass of energy, which had been its
form of space vehicle it had used to enter this world with, and it
grasped the opportunity with all it could muster and formed itself
into a flying formation, it had seen in another dimension, and it
darted out of the colossal energy into the dark night of the
world.

The cold outer world was
unrecognizable to it and it was left staggered by its dangers and
as it monitored its formation
’
s fight to repair itself it considered how
the occurrence could possibly have occurred, and it felt
satisfaction from its body as it completed repairing a major region
of damage to it.

It eventually was able to alter to an
extraterrestrial humanoid formation, it had intended to alter to on
arrival at the Earth, and it gained more of its normal powers, and
it managed to adapt to the surrounding environment, and it shifted
into the long black shadows of unknown tree formations like a
transparent ghost monster lurking around, transforming shapes and
appearances in regions of it, and it temporary stopped astounded by
the event as it considered what had happened and that it was
trapped on a desolate region in a strange universe, in a strange
combination of strange dimensions, without any communications to
its own universe, without anything else like it being in the
surrounding space, and it began to contemplate the real dangers to
its survival and eternal life and it began to contemplate how it
could survive on the world without its more advanced technology,
which it had never been without or even heard of occurring.

Its species was so ancient it could
not even believe it had a beginning source! It had been contacted
by an unknown form of communication, from the unknown universe,
from the strange unknown species of Earth humanoids, and it had
been chosen by its species to make contact on behalf of its
species, and it too had not fully grasped the extraordinary
universe, and some of Earth
’
s extraordinary technology as it never worked
in its universe, and it had been disorientated on its entry to the
universe and it had made the fatal mistake of forming its
spacecraft into a human space rocket formation in orbit over the
Earth and it had been detected and attacked.

It was trapped out on a strange celestial
object with unknown new life forms and it realized it had to fight
to survive further than it had ever done before and it wondered if
it could, and it realized it would be detected on the world and it
fought to escape from the vicinity of its exploding spacecraft.

The moon shifted overhead as its
monster shape staggered through the small wood, where it had shot
into, and it even took comfort in the moon
’
s existence with its slight
familiarity and it resembling a stellar sight in its own universe,
and it stopped to examine a life form, and a small black cat
shifting towards it!

It had never seen anything like it and it
could not explain its existence and it struggled to explain how it
functioned and its strangeness grasped its imagination, and it
altered its formation to adapt to it and its new environment and it
finally took a sample of its blood and reformed its colossal energy
formation.

Its strange shaped shadows shifted in the
moonlight, probing the cold darkness, and it moved on as it studied
everything in its surroundings, expecting hideous encounters, as it
fought to return its normal detection senses.

It roamed the wood and it became clear that
the life form it had copied affected it far more than it had
realized, and it realized it was not just the life form but its own
damaged state!

While it propelled itself forward its body
adapted its form and repaired damage and formed more powerful and
better Earth legs and razor-sharp claws, creature fangs, and thick
tentacles formed and expanded from its neck, from creatures it had
studied on other worlds in the region of space as it had entered
the universe, and while it shifted away head tendrils formed from
its ears and they shuddered frantically testing the air for the
signs of any life forms and dangers.

Its monstrous cat shapes silhouetted it as
it shifted in incredible leaps through trees, further than any
Earth creature, and its senses improved and it detected distant
human formations near the wood, and it realized that the cat
formation had taken its energy from the consumption of other life
forms.

Finally the wood ended and strange
glowing hills illuminated all around it, stretching out to the rim
of the world, as the sun rose below the horizon, and it stopped and
watched a glowing spot accelerating across the sky, and a dim
radiance illuminated in its surroundings and it detected one of the
world
’
s
intelligent species on its own nearby!

The Intelligence
Agent

“What do
you think that thing under Downing Street is?” Dory
immediately asked
Cameron
,
concerned, glaring, as he entered through
her
front
door.
“You are the
only one to have seen it
!
”

“
I think
it’s powerful whatever it is!” Cameron replied, as he jumped into
one of her seats, and put his legs up on the arm of the seat.
“There’s energy blasting through it!”

She
gasped
and
budged, and
slowly
studied
his face over
again, and she studied
h
is
clothing.

“
What is
your job exactly?” he asked, after noticing the way she acted was
far different, as if she had another career, which she had not
mentioned.

“
I’m an
intelligence agent!” she confessed.

Cameron
gasped, and then realized that it was connected to his career, with
the military, and replied, “Were you a soldier like me before you
became an agent?”

“
I was
in the military!”

He
thought about it and thought of questioning her about it and what
she was really up to, instead of
leaving him wondering
what the hell was happening and what the future would
be.

She offered him a cigarette, and he
nodded that he never, and he detected that she wanted to say stuff
about things, and asked,
“
Have you any beer left?
”

“
No! There is some whisky over
there!
”
she
replied firmly, and he rushed over and poured her and him large
glasses of it.

Cameron sat down and drank it fast and
relaxed and waited for what she had to say.

Someone rang on the phone and she just
ignored it to his surprise and wondered who the caller was.

She glanced over and gasped, and examined
him looking straight over at her, as if she saw something she did
not fully want to see and could not quite grasp and studied
him.

He wondered what she was up to and why she
had been hiding being an intelligence agent.

“
I want to ask you some
questions!
”

Cameron sat straight up and copied one of
the soldiers he had once seen and he waited.

“
Why did you join the army,
Dave?
”
she
asked, studying him with great confusion and annoyance, while
sipping from her glass, and he realized that she never fully liked
straight whisky.

“
I can
’
t remember!
”

“
You can
’
t remember why you went in the
army!
”
she
gasped, blowing out some of the whisky in her mouth, in a spray,
covering her dress, and she laughed.

When Cameron offered to clean it, she
replied,
“
I
’
ll just leave it there for the
moment!
”

“
It was probably the reason many
people join up for and to visit places one normally never
sees!
”

“
Really?
”
she asked, determinedly, trying to
do something that he could not quite grasp.

“
I have no recollection of anything
before I found myself in a pool in a field! So I
can
’
t fully
confirm that answer!
”

Suddenly it struck him that she was trying
to suggest something and he realized he could have done something
that he could not have found out about! Then he gasped as he
realized his mind was blank in places and he had no real memories
of anything of his original self before joining the army!

“
Do you think the army did something
to me?
”
he
gasped, recalling waking up in the pool of mud in the field,
wondering if she had heard of something as an intelligence agent,
as they were connected to the military.

He thought of all the things he had heard
being used by the military on prisoners and if someone could have
done something by accident, and just dumped him in the pool in the
field.

She made strange faces, as though in slight
pain, and bent over and sat deeper into her seat, and her shoulders
bent as she relaxed, and she remained thinking for a few
minutes.

“
There are many reasons people can
lose their memories!
”
she replied firmly, no longer looking at
him, and Cameron was left confused and he realized his goal was
still to find out who the hell he was as far as he
could!

“
I
’
ve another question!
”
she quickly asked.

“
What?
”

“
What the hell did the army originally
say it was doing where you were? Surely the military
doesn
’
t
need anyone there?
”

“
We were searching for a killer
lion!
”
he
replied, smiling, now amused at it.

“
A killer lion was roaming about
there?
”

“
They said that it had escaped from a
nearby village circus I think!
”

Cameron realized how little parts of his
memory had actually returned since then!

“
What proof did they give that it
existed?
”

“
Farmers were supposed to have
reported seeing the thing to the police! And we were to investigate
the incident!
”

A shiver ran up his spine as he considered
the danger he could have been in out in the field in the pool of
mud.

“
So
what’s your interest in that thing we found under 10 Downing
Street?” he replied, recalling that she had a great interest in the
object, and he was sure it had been the reason behind her informing
him she was an intelligence agent.

“
I gave
your description to someone and they think it has to be atomic –
and could be a weapon!”

“
You
think someone has an atomic bomb under Downing Street? Yet if they
did it must have been put there years ago!”

She shrugged
and gasped, and sat back into her seat.

“
If you
give me the whole story of what is happening I’m sure I can help
you!” he asked.

She thought
about it and decided to do something and turned on her television
and watched it for a few minutes.

“
I think
I’d better start over again ... From when we first met I was an
intelligence agent and helping you?”

“
Tell me
what happened?” he replied, thinking that he could finally answer
some unanswered questions from the past

“
The
Prime Minister David Cameron, the politician, had a craving for
great wealth! One day he was offered far more to do something for
someone!

“
A group
of Germans, descended from top Nazis, met with him one night and
asked him to do something for them, to which they would reward him
greatly, and he discovered that they never wanted what he normal
provided! They had located a German map from the Second World War
that was of value to them and they asked for his help to get it,
and he agreed to carry out their request.

“
They
claimed the map was in Downing Street and they told him where it
was located, and that it was buried away in a cellar beneath
Downing Street, but he never found anything, and one of them
persuaded him to take him there and they searched everywhere and
still never found anything.
