Chapter Four
Missing Time
Ray puts the key in his car and begins to drive home he turns the radio on but to his surprise it is still not working. Its January so its cold outside and very dark, Ray is driving when he notices a bright light in front of him “what the fuck is that?” he asks himself again. This time the light appears to be in the middle of the road and Ray finds himself driving through it. For a couple of seconds the car is so lit up it looks like daylight before quickly turning black.
The car stops working including the lights “oh no” Ray cries as he sits in the dark. He quickly turns the key it takes a couple of attempts but to his delight the car starts. Five minutes later when Ray pulls on the drive he is surprised to see his wife standing outside waiting for him. He pulls up and gets out of the car. “Where have you been?” his wife asks “you know where I have been” Ray answers as he shuts the car door and begins to walk to the house “I went to see the psychiatrist” he adds. “That was at three o clock its now half past eight” he wife says as she follows him looking at her watch. Ray stops walking and looks at his watch and just like his wife told him it is half past eight.
Ray is confused “but I come straight back home” he insists holding in head “well you’re back now that’s all that counts” his wife states cheerfully Ray smiles but remains confused by what he believes to be missing time. He thinks back to when he was driving through the light and although Ray thinks it may have something to do with his experience he decides not to say anything to his wife.
Ray walks around the house “something is different” he states “but I cannot figure out what it is” he adds as he looks around the house confused. He looks at his wife “have you had your hair cut?” he asks, his wife smiles “I had it cut last week” she answers. Ray shakes his head “yes I know but have you had it cut since?” he asks. “No” Laura answers “why?” she asks as Ray is still wondering around the room looking for differences “your hair looks different as well” Ray explains before he stops. “Did we always have this wallpaper in the landing?” Ray asks as he walks in to the landing looking at the walls. Laura is confused “you put it up about two years ago” she answers Ray smiles “so I did” he states as he is still looking at the wallpaper.
Ray walks upstairs to put something more comfortable on “are the children in bed?” he asks his wife as he walks up the stairs still looking at the wallpaper “yes, they have been for about an hour” his wife answers as she walks in to the kitchen “do you want me to put you some food out?” she shouts up the stairs “I’m starving” Ray answers.
Ray eats his food and goes to the fridge to get a beer, he knows his wife is now in bed so he gets out a bottle of Whiskey and pours himself a generous double shot as well. Ray sits on the couch and begins to think about the light in the middle of the road. As he begins to think deeper he slowly begins to remember something about his journey back home. As he approaches the light the car stopped leaving Ray sitting alone in complete darkness. “Oh no” Ray says to himself when suddenly he looks out of the car only to see a figure looking at him. Ray remembers the face from his childhood memories but he is horrified to realize he cannot move. Next thing Ray knows he is in a strange place with metallic walls. He is now lying on a cold metal table and he is still paralyzed.
He attempts to look around but can hardly move than he sees something, he sees another figure. This one does not look like the others and it walks up to Ray who is by now terrified but still unable to move. It begins to look at Ray closely putting his face very close to Ray’s face. He then looks at Ray in the eyes seeming a little cautious itself. Suddenly it shows Ray its teeth and Ray can see they look razor sharp it then growls and is just about to launch an attack at Ray.
But before it manages to do so Ray is woken by his wife. He wakes up screaming and terrified which also scares his wife “what’s wrong?” his wife asks startled and confused by Ray’s reaction “it’s nothing” Ray answers “just a dream” he adds still in a confused state.
