My name is David Lofton and, ever since I was a boy, I knew that there was something different about me. Nothing major, mind you, just a minor feeling. I had never been particularly good looking, but was by no means ugly, instead I had the kind of face that people would forget in seconds. Needless to say that this had made getting a girlfriend kind of difficult, but I had managed it by settling for girls I found only somewhat attractive. This had frustrated me to no end, and I always felt as if I had been destined for something more. But I wasn’t crazy, I knew that this was the body that I would be stuck with for life. Or at least that is what I thought.
My birthday fell on a Wednesday, a school night, and my aunt (who I lived with) had made sure that I would be spending it in bed. To be honest, I didn’t really mind all that much, I wasn’t much into the whole club idea anyways. So, on my eighteenth birthday, I laid down on my bed and drifted slowly off to sleep.
Suddenly I woke up, I had no idea what had woken me, I was just awake. In fact, I was so tired that it took me a minute to even realize that I was no longer in my bedroom, in fact I didn’t appear to be in any room at all. All around me was an undefined blackness, with no walls, or floors, or any sort of identifying features whatsoever. Therefore, I was very confused when I heard a voice, coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
“Hello David”, said the strangely familiar voice. I tried to respond, only to realize that I was incapable of making any noise whatsoever.
“Don’t worry”, said the voice “This is all just a manifestation of your subconscious, you don’t need to speak. We don’t have much time, so I’ll try and be as brief as possible, I am your father. Or rather I am all of your male relatives, we are embedded into your DNA. Before you ask, no, we are not human, at least not entirely. We are a kind of advanced race, you and I. Thousands of years ago, the human race was discovered by a race of super intelligent aliens. They saw the potential locked within us, and despaired that it would take billions of years for us to evolve naturally to the point where we could communicate with them, so they created Us. We are a genetically modified breed of human, always slightly more evolved than the rest of humanity, sent by the Aliens to speed the process of evolution. This is your purpose, to breed with as many females as possible, and by doing so introduce the next generation of human. One of your children will carry within me the alien DNA, and on his eighteenth birthday, I will awaken just as you have today. Oh, and one last thing, to facilitate your task, we will provide you with certain alterations, I think you will enjoy discovering them.
