Adam, Jamie, and I walked homeward, both of them trailing behind me,
through the dim city streets. The three of us had been roommates for a
few months now, but we hadn't come to know each other very well. I
convinced them to go on this night out as a house bonding experience. We
ate at a restaurant and had some decent conversation, but no one could
afford to drink much, since we all had work tomorrow. Adam and Jamie
also acted kind of awkward around me, like they both had crushes on me
but wouldn't admit it. That was an occupational hazard of being a girl
with guys as roommates, I guess, but I could live with it. Come to think
of it, I wondered if they were walking behind me so they could look at
my ass.
While we were taking a shortcut through an empty alley, a bright light surrounded me, and suddenly, I was... somewhere else. A well-lit square chamber, made of something like gray plastic, about the size of a high school classroom, but with a high ceiling and three glass walls. As I looked around in confusion, I saw that Adam and Jamie were there with me, at least. The space beyond the glass was dark, but if I looked closely, I could make out silhouettes of figures moving around in it. Whatever they were, they were much too tall to be human.
