    If aliens were to abduct someone I’d think they would want someone who’s alone and out of sight of most people. So it’s probably going to be someone farther from the cities, and just walking by themself. So they might abduct someone out hunting, or they might abduct a someone hopped up on meth wandering through back roads or swamp areas of Polk County, Florida.

    Either way, they probably got more than they bargained for.

        This actually already happened, the Aliens had to put him back and all his friends just wrote it off as a meth high. After seeing what 1 human was like the aliens fucked off and said it wasn’t worth trying to cohabitate with us.

      Heck, have the aliens try to abduct some wildlife and then it turns out they picked up the cocaine bear. Play it as an action comedy from the perspective of the aliens.

      Bonus points if they then abduct a human hunter to deal with it and he turns out to be the deranged serial killer from the post.

    Egh… i’ve been a victim of my father for long enough that it’s no longer my responsibility to deal with whomever else he victimizes. I managed to survive him… that’s ehere my responsibility ends

    I have no fewer than 15 psychiatrists who will back me up on that. If you feel so socially responsible, you go risk your life, in trying to ring him in. Several local police departments and the FBI haven’t managed it, but you? You think you’re so much better than them? Go for it. I wish you the best of luck.

    Yeah, you and your silly meme is gonna fix everything.

    Even better if the aliens have no concept of a serial killer so they have no frame of reference for the horror they have brought upon themselves.

      Or death isn’t even an inconvenience for them. They’re a hive mind and losing one loses nothing. He gets no joy from it and they are but mildly annoyed.

      They conclude it is normal human behavior and decide to leave us the fuck alone, like we do with the sentinel islands.

        No, they threaten to kill all of us unless we change. Then we are given 6 months to find and kill every serial killer on the planet and they give us the technology to instantly detect serial killers but it turns out the device detects potential serial killers as well and it’s flagging multiple politicians, celebrities, nobel laureates and even children.

      That was my first thought too!
      …then I wondered, how about a Trinity Killer, in his prime?! Whole family gets abducted and he’s still trying to stay “under cover” from them…

    Jurassic Park, but a future civilization of tiny beings tries to bring back various species of the Cenezoic Era, especially humans, among a few planets in a backwater star system . Chaos ensues. They lose control, evacuate, and slag the planets from orbit on the way out. Unbeknownst to them, a corrupt employee loses a vial of prokaryotes while trying to smuggle it out to a rival faction. It’s smashed and washed into the sea in the process. The employee gets eaten by a frilled lizard. Billions of years later, that region of the galaxy is still quarantined. The descendants of the surviving prokaryotes look up at the stars hungrily from the surface of a tiny blue dot.

      This reads like fucking Scientology if it was actually interesting instead of a derranged meth dream.

        That’s probably one of the kindest things someone’s said about my writing. I think I still went down one thetan level for it, though.

      Hey, where’s the movie from the perspective of the Xenomorph?

      I was just born on this ship! I didn’t ask to be here! I’m starving and need a safe place for my babies! I’m doing all I can to survive, and everyone else on this ship is trying to kill me!

    Would absolutely watch! A good director would make you torn between rooting for the killer and his family and rooting for the aliens.

      The family doesn’t know, he has to pretend to be just as scared as they are and hide his murder-joy when they’re present. They think he’s abandoning them in a moment of panic when he’s on the hunt.

    This is kinda/sorta the plot of Alien, just with the species reversed. I love it. You could change the setup where the aliens respond to a distress call from a “Space Family Robinson in stasis” situation.

      And the ‘body horror scene’ isn’t the baby alien coming out of the dudes’ chest, is the baby coming out of the mommy’s womb.

        It’s a woman breastfeeding in a public area and the aliens attack her with a flamethrower. They miss and the baby pukes breast milk over the aliens and it burns through their skin like acid.

      When I casually read the OP I was thinking of Aliens as the Xenomorphs rather then the all inclusive “alienes” they clearly intended, and thought… “Ooh a serial killer, so they lay eggs in his chest just like any other human? Hardly seems noteworthy.”

      I like your version better.
