What if 50% of the people you know were evil. I know social media and even news media make it seem like you should be scared of everyone, because evil is so rampant. But I know the truth.

The Karulans are here, and they have been for centuries. They appear to be normal people but they are anything but.

They hide in plain sight and pretend to have the same beliefs and goals as the rest of us. They don’t though. They are there to cause hate and discontent. They goal of the Karulans is to destabilize our world so that when they main force comes to rob us of our resources, we aren’t prepared to defend ourselves.

You see, the Karulans are themselves slaves to Bigorciks.

I know you are wondering how I know all of this. Simple! I have captured one of the Karulans, and I have him captive in my basement.

I caught Benji walking in my neighborhood a few months ago. He looks like a normal guy, but I saw through that pretty quickly. First, I know all the people on my street, and he was definitely not from around here. I am not sure why he thought he could get away with it. He said he was a traveling gutter salesman. As if I would believe that.

I was cool though. When we started talking, I pretended to be interested in buying new gutters so that he would relax as I led him inside. I offered him a glass of tea, and when I went to make the tea, I slipped in a sleeping pill. It took a while for him to drink enough for it to take effect. Good thing I put extra sweetener in to cover the taste.

After he woke up, he pretended to be confused about where he was, and why he was tied up. At first I went easy on him and tried to talk him into confessing his real purpose to me. He was pretty defiant though. I ended up having to resort to more stringent measures. At first I started small and just hit him with the fly swatter every time he refused to tell the truth. That was somewhat effective. He stopped trying to give me outright lies, but he was also trying to trick me into telling him what I knew. “What do you want me to say”, “what is the correct answer”, “who do you think I am”.

After the 2nd day, he finally started accepting water. He was evidently afraid I was going to poison him. He needn’t have worried. I have no intention of giving up my one good source of information. I want to be prepared when the Bigorciks come back.

By the 5th day, he started to get more cooperative. I would ask an open ended question like ‘where are you from’ and he would go into long monologues about his home planet. I don’t think he has ever been there, though. I get the feeling that he is just retelling stories he has heard. I have to be careful not to let on to how much I am learning from what he talks about. I don’t want him to get smart as to what he is giving away.

Every so often, I have to rough him up some so that he knows who is in charge. Don’t want him thinking he is going to get away with not sharing his secrets. I need to find someone else to bring in and help. I am going to need help when I start to taking out the Karulans that are in this area. I don’t want to be caught out numbered when the fighting starts.

I think Carl and his buddies are probably safe, but Benji lets slip that there are some of his people who are really good at inserting themselves into groups that you would think wouldn’t be so easy to fool. He could be exaggerating, but based on what I see happening these days… I am inclined to recognize the truth. We are at a tipping point, and life as we know it is hanging in the balance. I am going to have to act soon.
