The Shifters
As I sit here writing this, the world is crumbling around my feet. I have nowhere to go and no one to save. I sit alone and stare outside my window,
watching the decimation of my race. There is nothing I can do to save them, and as I watch, I feel compelled to write down what I know. Maybe
someone will read this in the future and it will be of value. Maybe someone will survive this madness and will be able to learn from our mistakes. Or
maybe I just need to write it down for myself, to make sense of a senseless situation. Whatever the case may be, I will record what I see and what has
occurred for anyone left alive to read.
The beginning:
They came swiftly and silently in the night at first. Having the skill to shift in and out between worlds, they used it to their advantage. At first
it was just a few people going missing each night. A mother would go to check on her child, she would never return. A young man walking home from his
friends house, he never made it. It wasn't until one was caught on
video that we realized it
was more than just humans abducting humans. And it wasn't until they came in mass that the government felt the need to tell the people what was
going on.
The government knew a long time ago about these beings. They had made contact with them long before Roswell even occurred. A dying civilization that
needed to rebuild. A few thousand left of their race. Had they only wiped them out back then, none of this would be happening now. But they let them
live. Let them take what they needed from our world. And eventually, they grew stronger in numbers. Eventually, they were not happy living in their
own world, they wanted ours too.
Why did their race almost die out? Knowing that could possibly save us today. But all we can do is speculate. There are a few rumors that have
surfaced about them. I will list them below in general order. Just in case you can find some value in them. But they are nothing more then rumors.
None of this has been proven scientifically, none is known to be fact.
**Rumors**
* We believe that they like to take women more than men because they need our wombs to breed their race. The scientists think this is why they have
been focusing their attention on cattle the last few years. They wanted to be able to breed without us, to not need us anymore. I guess they figured
out how, as they would not be killing us off today if they still needed us to survive.
* We also believe they get stronger as they increase in numbers. At first, they could only phase into our world for a few seconds and it was only at
night that they came. Now, they can come during the day, stay an unlimited amount of time, and they don't abduct anyone anymore. They are here for
one thing only, to exterminate us.
* Some people have said that they used to be able to only live in darkness. The shadow people is what they were called. I believe this to be true. I
used to see them out of the corner of my eye, crouching in the corner of my room, waiting. But I just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. I
shrugged it off and went about my life. I know now that they were real. They were there, watching me as I slept, biding their time.
* Others say they used to live in our world. That they were from the distant past, a once great civilization that had risen and fallen long before the
time of man. And that's why they want our world, because it was theirs in the first place. They say that they used to be human, and through science
and invention, they figured out how to shift into other dimensions. But they got stuck in one, and that's why they need our wombs to breed with.
Because they once were like us.
* It has also been rumored that the story of Atlantis is based upon them. That Atlantis was their great city and that it never sunk, it just phased
into a new dimension. That they are the people from that city of legend. But if that were the case, the legend of Atlantis would have to be much more
ancient then originally thought, as these creatures have been around since the dawn of man.
**Important Fact**
There is one thing that I know they are afraid of. One thing that through observing them, I have noticed that they won't go near. I have my walls
lined with them right now. I have told as many people as I could in the hopes some of our race can survive this madness.
Mirrors are what they
hate. They won't go anywhere near them. I saw one scream in terror and shift out as soon as he realized he was standing in front of it. I saw
another claw his own face off when he saw his reflection. Keep mirrors around you at all times and you'll have a better chance of survival.
**My own theory**
I don't believe they abducted us to breed, I think they somehow changed the people they abducted. Made them become one of them through DNA
manipulation. I think it was an experiment gone wrong. The increase in their numbers coincide with the abductions that took place. Their ability to
withstand light, stay in this world longer than before, it all makes sense to me. They can do this because this world is where they came from in the
first place. I think the cow mutilations were the original creatures experimenting, researching, and perfecting the science. I think they figured out
how to modify our DNA and make us like them. And I think that's how they increased their population.
The original species are not the ones wreaking havoc on us now. I think these are the humans that were changed. That they yearn to be what they once
were, and are angry that they can't be human anymore. I think that is why they hate mirrors so much, they hate what they've become and can't bear
to look at themselves. The inner human is still there, but is driven by instinct alone. That is why they are killing us. They are driven by their
anger and self pity.
The sun has come up and I must sleep now. Daylight is the safest time to sleep, although there is no safe time or place anymore in this world. I will
write more this evening, when I wake up.
To be continued.
