Like most military relationships my relationship with Will was hot and heavy while it lasted. However, over time he was transfered over seas forcing us to drift apart. We'd meet about twice
a year and make up for lost time then that turned to once a year and then we simply lost touch. On one of our last skipes he forgot to turn off his camera. I witnessed him burying his long, beautiful cock into the ass of a guy he'd met, he was another marine by the look of his muscled body. The scene was hot and heavy by the looks of it. He'd found someone else to take his 12" cock. I knew then it was over.
I wasn't jealous because we weren't in that kind of relationship but I knew I would miss him. Later that night I entered my barracks thinking about Josh and Stephen. It had been over two years since they disappeared and nearly three since I'd last been with them. It was also pushing a year since I'd been with Will. I'd been lucky to have three men in my life that were attractive. I simply had no attraction to men other than for those I'd been with already. So I began to wonder if I was truly gay or simply bi with a situational male preference.
I didn't dare go to a gay bar because NIS was all over the place still. I found myself dating women on and off again, nobody I was serious about. Eventually I found myself deployed to Afghanistan in the same region that Josh and Stephen had disappeared. After I'd been there a month I learned that they weren't the first or the last to disappear. Everyone who had disappeared did so in the same fashion with a freak sand storm coming out of nowhere only to discover another vehicle and its occupants were gone once it cleared. That and it had always happened in the same area. Yet nothing could be found to explain the disappearances. There was one report and only one in which a person in the vehicle following behind saw a flash of light in the middle of the storm. Like someone had flashed a camera. Nobody else saw it.
In each instance the vehicles were found in remote, barely accessible areas. Where Josh and Stephens Hummer had been found in Tibet, the rest had been found only a few miles away. Even the Taliban were reporting disappearances. At first they thought it was the USA doing it. But when they had witnessed the same fate befall several US troops they decided to leave the area in which this phenomenon was occurring. To get to the bottom of this the Army decided to put a permanent post on a mountaintop to observe the region to see if anything could be discovered. I was among the first to be sent out. The garrison was a mixed service observation post so I being a non-essential and thereby deemed expendable I was sent out to observe whatever it was we were supposed to see.
For a month nothing happened, not even a sheep moved in the region we could observe. It seemed that even sheep had vacated the location for good. Late one night I woke up alone in the duty quarters of the hospital tent. Being the only Navy guy there, I was birthed in the hospital tent to be available if someone needed something. Something had awakened me but I couldn't figure out what so I sat up and listened my heart racing believing that maybe we were being raided. One minute, two...nothing. I got up threw on my pants, t shirt and boots and headed out to the ward to see if the guys were fooling around. Nothing.
I was awake with adrenaline so I decided to get some air and walk around the compound. The lights lit up the compound like midday. Generators were running in the distance, almost silent but not quite. For twenty minutes I walked about before I started to feel the need for sleep reach me again. Just as I was about to head back to bed a sudden wind blew up followed by a massive wall of sand as the alarm clanged in warning. I ran but found myself completely engulfed in sand yet I didn't feel sand pelting me. Suddenly weightless I saw a flash of light and everything went black.
What I remember next was a haze of fog and distant voices. It felt naked with warm flowing air/water flowing over and through my body. An overwhelming sense of relaxation hit me like a wave just before fading out again. When I finally did wake up fully I was in a small room with a fire pit and a blazing fire completely naked except for my blanket, which seemed to be made of soft wool that felt like satin only warmer. I liked how it felt on my naked body.
I felt as though I was on medication. I sat up and the room began to spin and I fell back onto my bed feeling weak. A familiar voice said "Relax, you're in good hands. You aren't quite ready to be up and about just yet". I was too groggy to recognize who it was and I began to fade out again as a blurry figure stepped into view wearing what I thought was a monks robe and sat down next to me as I faded out again. Sometime later I woke feeling far more refreshed than I had in a long time. Slowly I sat up again not wanting to push it as I had earlier.
"You must have been tired" came a familiar voice. Turning my head to look at who it was, I saw Stephen sitting next to me wearing a full length robe and hood not unlike a monks robe. Only his appeared to be far more luxurious than the homespun wool of your standard monk wardrobe.
My mouth fell open in surprise unable to speak I began shaking my head wondering if I were even awake. "You are fine Rich. You aren't imagining things. I'm alive and so are you. Josh is to."
"What happened? Where is this place?" I blurted.
"Tibet" Stephen answered. Before I could say anything he explained, "What has been happening is that we aren't alone. Our planet has been monitored by more advanced civilizations for several thousand years, giving us guidance and assistance when we approached annihilation.
Their most recent large-scale intervention was the Cuban Missile crisis. The real reason things calmed down was the fact that they shut down our missile silos on both sides. It created a fear on both sides that the opposition had a new weapon. That 'fear' is what forced the Soviets to turn around" waving a hand around the room "The visitors have been here for a long time, monitoring us from the peak in Tibet from an observation post under the snow. Their technology is far more advanced than ours obviously. Their mission is to see that our species evolves beyond self destruction."
Breaking my silence I walked over to Steven "Why did they take you?"
Stephen stepped over to the fire pit held out his hands to warm them. "Apparently Josh and I weren't as careful as we thought and were seen, well...in a compromising situation one night late when we stole away to a room in the back of the warehouse.
