    About this ebook

    (10,000 words) Zeke went to sleep in his tent. He woke up, with a bunch of other people, on a boat on an alien planet. A voice tells them to swim to shore or die trying. This story was originally published in Jupiter SF #49 July 2015. It is an embellishment of “Alien Abduction: The Game”, a role-playing-game I have not yet published. It's meant to give more background than is provided in the game.

      Chapter 1

      Zeke fought his way out of a deep, cloying sleep to the sound of a jangling alarm, followed by the blat of a foghorn, the bang of a gong, a police siren, and various others shrieks, whistles and bangs. He was naked, on some sort of narrow bunk bed with a thin, plastic mattress and no covers, in a rectangular room barely larger than the bed.

      When he had gone to sleep he had been in a tent in the woods on a hunting excursion. He had no idea how he got from there to here, or where here was.

      Sourceless light filled the featureless gray room. No longer sleepy, but still confused, he swung his feet over the edge of the bed, sat up and took a closer look all around. There was no sign of any door or window.

      The racket stopped, which lessened his disorientation, but the bed, hinged against the wall, dropped out from under him, spilling him to the floor, then just sort of melted into the wall. He got to his feet, a little bit unsteady, and was staring in fascination at the smooth wall where the bed had disappeared, when the end wall of the narrow room folded or slid away, revealing a greenish brown expanse of water and, about sixty yards away, a sandy beach of a peculiar orange color, brighter than any sand he had ever seen. The vegetation above the beach looked a peculiar shade of green, but he didn't have time to study the view; the other end wall advanced, forcing him out onto a narrow strip of deck with no railing.

      Zeke saw other people, as naked as himself, being pushed from similar cubicles on both sides of his. They all looked as confused as he felt. He counted over a dozen but there was no time for a better count. The buzz of conversation that started up was cut off by a very loud, strangely accented voice from a hidden speaker. Attention. There is no time to tell you the whole story so I will tell you all that you need to know. Predators are coming in the water. There is safety on the beach. You must swim to it. If you do not swim fast enough the predators will eat you. That is all you need to know. Start now.

      What the hell is he talking about? a tall man next to Zeke shouted to anybody or everybody.

      "They can't do this to us,
