Is there life out there? Yes, absolutely, and don't let sceptics tell you otherwise. But life in the Universe is surprisingly similar to the life on Earth; stupid, drugged, and randomly getting eaten by larger creatures. After attending his mother's funeral, Mongrel Stevens gets abducted by aliens. It was bound to happen sooner or later, I suppose. But these were no ordinary aliens, and I say that only because what aliens would be ordinary? I mean, they're called aliens for a reason. Anyway they give Mongrel a tour of the ship, try to feed him some strange mediation, and they do not thrust anything into his ass – though not for lack of trying. Mongrel also helps them solve a problem they've had for a long time, and is rewarded handsomely.
