My experiences with aliens this year

[Organgeboy]

I don't want to get into too much detail. Time and specific place, not important. Who I am, also coincidental. But I have GOT to share this stuff!

In any case there were other people around. Milling about, you would say. Maybe there was a piece of art nearby. Some people were on bikes. I had my water bottle. I remember looking at the mountains for a while.

But here's the thing... they started walking towards me, from the middle distance. People got out of their way, like they were just people. But 3.5 feet tall? And gray? And the big bug eyes? And the little coin-slot mouths?

For some reason I kept snapping my fingers, in time with their footsteps. I was getting into this. I just kept thinking, over and over: "Please, please... don't let one of them say "Take me to your leader"... anything but that."

They were about ten feet away, and they stopped. One of them started counting its fingers. The others watched as it did this, slowly.

The one on the right stepped forwards. It approached my person. I looked around to see if anybody else was watching this. A few were, with mild interest it seemed.

So this one looks up into my eyes with his hige ones and its obvious that he wants something: But what?

I think we stayed in that position for like 3 hours (by the way, the one who was counting its fingers never stopped counting).

I got desperate. What should I say, or do? What if everything was riding on that.

And then for some reason, it popped into my head and as soon as that I blurted it out:

"David Lynch! David Lynch!"

That satisfied it, I think, because it slowly lowered its head. It swiveled its head back to the others and the one who had been counting slowly came to a stop, as if coming out of a daze.

And then they walked off, approximately in the same direction from which they came.

I haven't had to courage to bring this up with anyone, and only now do I come forward.

Did I do the right thing? Did they want to hear "David Lynch?" What should I have said? If I see them again, what's my plane of action?
