Prologue

It was a dark and stormy night. Everyone had already gone to sleep. Perhaps it would not have happened if the people had not gone to sleep so early that night. But they did.

On this night all over the world, village idiots disappeared from their beds. As a friend of one of the missing village idiots commented “It was scary! Here one day, gone the next! I assumed that he had just wandered off again, but after a week I was worried.” There was only one witness to these horrific events. In Walla Walla, Washington, USA, a person was walking along the sidewalk because he couldn't sleep. He said that he thought the cold and wetness outside might make him more tired. As he walked past the local village idiot's house he saw a giant s-shaped ship come down from the sky like a fiery demon. Then the ship released a bright pink beam and he saw something being pulled up by the beam. Then the ship ascended back up into the sky from whence it came.

When he told everyone the story, they were fully prepared to lock him up in the loony bin forever. Then they discovered that the village's idiot was missing. They decided to wait until the idiot came back to see if the story was true, or if he had just dreamed it all.

But it was true. It was true...
