Wooden Ships by Donald Piazza Read Free Book Online Page B

and as it continued to go higher in pitch, it became a rapid – “ wah-wah-wah.” It was deafening and very painful, so Adam covered his ears hoping it would help deaden the pain.
     
    Instantly there was a bright flash and then the oscillation stopped. The two individuals that looked exactly like Scott changed or shape-shifted into two of the most unusual-looking creatures Adam had ever seen. Standing before him were E-1 and E-2.
     
    Then the room turned pitch black and there was complete silence as if someone turned off the sound. Images began scrolling in both vertical and horizontal directions that surrounded Adam and these two creatures standing before him. The scrolling images looked as if they were floating in mid-air and not projected from a display screen that could have been hanging from a wall, because there didn’t seem to be any walls. The images were numbers and letters, occasionally there were pictures and short video clips and everything was in vivid color. He looked around at this spectacle, the information seemed random, and strange, he wondered what it all meant.
     
    His attention now focused on the two creatures standing before him. They were both very tall with slender builds and looked almost like stick figures. Adam was five feet eleven inches tall and these beings towered over him by at least two feet. They looked as if they had human features, but what he saw resembled a mannequin, with no ears and just an impression of eyes, mouth and a nose. Their faces were as smooth as glass with a highly polished silver Mylar appearance to it. They were wearing what looked like a skin-tight one-piece jump suit made of a tan colored linen material that had a dark blue stripe that ran down the entire length of their bodies from their shoulders, under their thin arms down the side of their legs to their... “Wait they don’t have any feet.” Looking down he saw their legs came to a blunt point, which he guessed they were standing on. They stood about three feet away from him, and looking up at their faces, he could see his distorted reflection. In this reflection Adam looked shocked, his eyes and mouth were wide open.
     
    “Adam.” E-1 inquired.
     
    Adam heard his name spoken in his mind. The feeling felt strange and it had a slight metallic sound quality to it. Staring at both these strange looking creatures, Adam saw characters and images flash across the surface of one of these creatures’s face and then stop. It appeared their faces were some sort of a display screen.
     
    “Adam, can you hear me?” E-1 inquired again as more images and characters flashed across its face.
     
    “Oh Wow! This is starting to freak me out!” thought Adam.
     
    He wasn’t able to comprehend this weird situation anymore; shocked and scared to death he began screaming at the top of his lungs in fear – “AHHhhhh! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? AHHhhhh!”
     
    “Adam, do not be afraid,” stated E-2.
     
    “Adam, calm yourself,” stated E-1. “There is a lot of important information we need to convey to you – information that is of the utmost importance to you and all humanity on Earth.”
     
    Adam wasn’t listening and continued to scream, “AHHhhhh!” E-1 had no choice; it raised its hand above Adam’s head and by doing this, even though he continued to try, Adam suddenly stopped screaming.
     
    E-1 had placed Adam into a state of suspension. He was unable to speak or move, he just stood there frozen, and his eyes were wide open, darting back and forth between the two strange looking creatures.
     
    “Adam we have information that you need to know. Our species have been instrumental in the development and advancement of human beings on your planet that you refer to as Earth . We have had an influence on your species for over 400,000 years and have watched as your species went from hanging from trees to landing men on the Moon. There is a very appealing quality in most humans and there are some humans who
