Nadia hid behind the blinds in her dark room, peering out her second-floor bedroom window, watching all the kids who were trick-or-treating in their costumes. It was Halloween and while almost everyone else celebrated the day, she spent it at home wondering if she would ever have the same encounter she had as a high school senior.
At the time, she had spoken about it in detail, desperate to find someone who would believe her but nobody dared accept that her words carried any truth. She could not blame anyone for not believing her, after all, her claims revolved around something that defied science and logic.
The night of October 31, 1984, she had seen a creature coming out of the woods. For years, she had heard strange animal noises at night and seen a mysterious red glow darting through the trees, but she had dismissed it until she saw the creature illuminated by the light post next to the bus stop. Even if she had only seen it for a split second, she knew it was something unexplainable and not just some weird-looking animal. It was a dark gray humanoid, with red eyes and long arms that reached down past its knees.
What she had never told anyone was that on that fateful night, she had woken up with paralyzing fear only to see the creature's red eyes approaching her in the pitch-black room. Unable to move her limbs, she had closed her eyes and told herself that she was having a nightmare, but when the creature mysteriously ignited her body, she accepted its intrusion. Through her fear, she had managed to enjoy its phallus taking her virginity in what seemed to be some type of feeding mechanism for the creature. Her orgasm had blacked her out and she had awoken in the morning with little to no recollection of the sexual act.
As the years had gone by with lots of therapy and self-help, she no longer feared the creature. Instead, she lusted for its return every Halloween, hoping that she could experience it again. She hated to admit it to herself, but the whole thing brought a unique purpose to her otherwise mundane life. No matter how much time passed, she couldn't forget the overwhelming sexual pleasure she had felt. In fact, she had even purchased an alien-looking dildo to try and replicate the experience.
I'm alone tonight, come get me, she thought, looking at the trees behind the bus stop.
Every year she told herself that it would be the final year waiting for a second encounter, but she always found her way back down the same path the following year. This time, she felt it could be different since she was home alone, with her husband and kids out of the city to attend a football game.
She made sure to turn off all the lights and go to bed naked, making it as enticing as possible for the creature to show up. Part of her did feel the whole thing was ridiculous and that maybe it had all been in her head, but she reassured herself by remembering the intense and exhilarating orgasmic waves that rippled through her body for hours.
A sudden drop in temperature woke her up but she didn't make anything of it. She was used to sleeping in the cold and waking up to get herself properly under the sheets wasn't uncommon. She was dozing back to sleep when she heard breathing from the corner of the room.
She opened her eyes and spotted the creature's glowing, red eyes in the corner of the room. She had mentally prepared herself for this moment for years, but she was humanly unable to avoid the paralyzing fear. The only things she had control of were her eyes and she was determined not to close them.
