Growing up on a council estate and going from being bullied, to the bully, Danny’s life is set to go down one road, prison. Enrolling into the Army should have been the making of him, but after a traumatic event in the middle east, Danny had no idea how vulnerable his mind could be as he tries to tell his story of events that leads him down a rabbit hole of alien abduction and conspiracies he could never have imagined existed. “Hi, my name is Danny Bridges, and I can tell you one thing. Do not believe a word anyone tells you about aliens unless it is, they are real because from what I have just experienced I never thought they could mess up my life like they have. I am the one you see. They want people like me who have that certain extra intelligence like I have. Got me locked up but that is only the half of it as I will try to explain it to you. The world is under threat and these alien geezers want change to come and for people like me, young and prime to do their bidding once they have brainwashed me, but I am not having it. I will fight to the last breath to stop this happening and if I were you, I’d be careful who you trust because they could be knocking on your door next. I thought I was just a nobody once. A council estate lad from Tameworth with nothing more than my streets to get me by. What a joke that is. Why they wanted me I will explain because I am as sane as you guys. I am not a psychopath or multiple personality dood, I am a regular guy going about his life until this alien stuff kicked off as I will explain. We are not alone guys and once you read my account of the events so far, you had better look over your shoulder the next time you think you are being watched. Because you probably are being watched but not by government bods, by Aliens who want to take over your mind as they are trying to take over mine.”

Back in the eighties, things were way different than today. There was no such thing as mobile phones for one and certainly not the internet we know today. If you were a teenager today, you would probably be thinking how did we manage? To be honest, technology has passed my adult life by and tied me down to this life. I like my privacy and enjoyed my teenage years because I remember them like they were yesterday. They were unfettered by this need to always be found or are active on social media. My name is Danny Shaw and I have lived and breathed in my life in Tameworth. It is a small town a little fucked-up and one weekend, me and bros had the biggest laugh you will ever come across. Me and Freddie Green were known locally as Bong ‘Edz because we smoked way too much weed back then and we sold a bit too. We had dreams of making it big back then and be two geezers who no one messed with and we would make sheds loads of dollar and both have big fat Beamers (A pimped out BMW) so when a little oink called Murray gave us the head-ups on a field full of weed he found, we thought those dreams were just around the corner in the craziest weekend we ever had. A weekend I will never forget. Growing up on a council estate may not be the best start in life but for me, it was reality. It was the mid-eighties. A time of dreams of what we could be and more importantly, how we survived day-to-day with just our wits and a little luck that had so far been good for me and my mate Freddie. My future was bright, back then, I think! How old am I now? Honestly, I do not know. My head is in a bad place right now and ironically it was not through smoking weed. It would seem choices in my life were down to my so-called friend Freddie as I unwittingly find out during our weekend as cowardly teenagers unfold as we discover the field of dreams.
