Ruby Falkov

He found the journal on the train. He picked it up in disbelief. The name “Ruby Falkov” was engraved on the back. “No way,” he said, “She went missing years ago!” He frantically opened the book, desperate to read what she had to say. Back in 2012, Ruby had gone missing after a post she made that gained a lot of popularity. The post contained evidence of alien life and was taken down by the website shortly after it was noticed. This sparked a lot of suspicion in the public. He had absolutely admired her for having the bravery to share her experience. He sat and read through the journal. In the journal, Ruby explains how she was abducted while she was driving with her coworkers. While driving, one of six of the passengers noticed an object floating nearby. Out of curiosity, Ruby pulled over and stepped out of the car to investigate. According to Ruby, when she got closer to the object, a beam of light struck her and she fell unconscious . She says that she later woke up with three short bald creatures standing over her. The way she describes their eyes, though, is quite terrifying. She describes them as empty and she felt as if they were staring right through her. Later, she woke again miles away from where she first was. When she got into contact with her friends again, they explain to her what happened. They say the object zapped her and disappeared almost immediately. They say they took pictures and videos of the object before its disappearance. After showing her this, they decide to inform the police. Of course, the police don’t believe them, so they demand to take a lie detector test. After all of them ended up passing the tests, the police start trying to cover it up and saying there’s no way this could be possible. Ruby’s posts online, however, show that it’s very possible. The post includes Ruby’s explanation of the situation as well as the photos and videos as proof. After reading this, I am incredibly intrigued. I keep reading until the last couple of pages. These last pages are different than the first ones. She explains how she has caught strange people following her around lately. She describes them as tall, bald men who are wearing suits and hats. She says there are two of them and they’re just as terrifying as the creatures she saw during her abduction. She says the eyes are similar, lifeless eyes that seem to stare right through her. Ruby is very freaked out by these men and says she can’t seem to get away from them. Ruby got on this train to try to escape. She wanted to move as far away as possible and forget all about those men. Unfortunately, she could never escape them.
