Abducted by aliens twice in my youth, I grew up with a head full of strange. Unearthly implants lodged in my flesh, yet few that would buy my strange tales. I married a woman much like myself, she was strange in her own special way. For she was a witch and the daughter of one, a lineage that traced back to a medieval age. Our children are strangelings, of that we are sure. They have special powers I dare not reveal. We fear that their lives will be wild and harsh in a world that can only view them as freaks. So I watch the night sky and pray for some ship to salvage our lives in a miracle flight. Across stellar space to a world that is strange and welcomes our kind. Beyond the uncaring Earth.
