A shuffling lump of blankets, the insulating love of mother Russia herself robbed from me by the Capitalist crow of the electronic clock. They will not rob me of this. I look up tp see two ghostly beings before drifting off back to sleep

Stumbling out of the front door of my cabin as smoke pours out of the windows and door and into the arms of the KGB. Coughing and choking, I could not see who it was, but I heard them.
“Magnus, we missed you in Vegas the other week. What happened.”
:: cough :: “ what are you trying to kill me, comrade Gareth?” :: cough ::
The commander licks his finger to “test the winds,” collects some of the smoke, and tests it on his tongue.
“What, it’s just some Ricin. It’s fine. Breath deep comrade Magnus. Gareth breathes deeply and continues. “So what happened? It’s not like you were abducted by aliens, were you? I mean, it’s not like you were doing something silly like sleeping instead of completing your duty to mother Russia.”
Gareth cocks the pistol in his hip holster. Gareth laughs. His shoulders laugh. I laugh.
“Actually, yes, I was.”
They stop in awkward and serious silence. Gareth looks at his troops and signals for us to leave.
*****************************
Dungeon 55. Secret underground base.
Dressed in my old military uniform complete with medals. I walk a line of Capitalist spies with blindfolds on and their hands tied behind their heads. I walk with two other officers as I interrogate these spies.
“Comrades, last week I was abducted by aliens causing me to bring great shame to my motherland. This is simple. I want to know what you know. If you tell me, I promise, no harm will come to you. If you lie to me, I will kill you. I’m glad that we have this understanding. “
Walking the line, I pace back and forth between the spies. I stop at one and question him.
“You. Comrade. Where were you in 1947?”
“Not born yet, comrade.”
I nod my head. “Not born yet. I see. “
:: BANG ::
“Liars!” I continue. “Liars will be shot. Suspected liars will be shot. Silence will be met with a bullet. Hesitation will be met with a bullet.” I continue to the next. “Comrade, Which Alien race abducted me? Was it the galaxtusians? “
“I’m not sure who they are?”
::BANG ::
“You can jog your memory or a bullet will jog it for you. I don’t care which.” I get to the third. “Comrade, What do the aliens want with me and why did they keep me from bringing honor to my homeland?” I am met with silence. I cock my cock and then met with opposition from my team.
“Comrade, commander, he’s deaf. He’s deaf. He is my cousin. He is deaf.”
“This man, your cousin? Your cousin is a traitor and a spy. He brings shame to your family.”
“Let me talk with him. I know sign language.”
“It must be hard, growing up in silence. In a world with so many beautiful sounds. Your cousin is a traitor and a cripple.”
::BANG. ::
“ A bullet, comrade, is the same in every language. Your cousin is in heaven now. Free of his pain.” I look up towards heaven and shout my question. “Traitor. Now that you can hear me, why was I taken from my bed? Why was I abducted by aliens?”
::silence. ::
“Comrade, fire upon the kingdom of heaven.” The second guard fires his machine gun wildly towards the ceiling as I get to the final spy, a child no more than ten years old. “Spy, where did the aliens come from.”
“The sky. They came from the moon. I saw them. They were big and scaly with long tails. And green.”
“I thought the reptilians weren’t due back for another five years?” Whispers one guard to the other.
“Comrades, give this man a medal,” I command. “I must join Comrade Iranova in America.”
