It was months before the creature showed any signs of recovery. One morning, they went to check in the barn and their goat, Ralph, had been ripped apart. Blood and fur were on the huge, three-fingered hands of the alien and around its wide mouth.
Doc Grant had found broken bones and was worried about internal injuries when they’d brought the thing in here. They’d needed to use the tractor with it’s trailer to move it back to the farm. We called it an “it” because Doc Grant didn’t know if they had male and female, and couldn’t tell from his examinations that he’d performed when it was unconscious.
“Best I can do is hope for the best, I guess. I’m more worried about those burns on your face and chest, Paul.”
“I’ll be fine, Sam,” his father had said. In the following weeks, the skin had peeled and left behind black spots on his face and neck where the alien craft had burned him. His eyebrows never grew back.
They survived that winter with only half the goat’s milk (yes, Ralph was a girl), but the fall hunting season had been bountiful, with four deer and a freezer full of rabbits.
John watched the alien whenever he got the chance. He’d sneak into the barn after chores and watch it sleeping. It spent a lot of time curled up in the straw and blankets they’d left for it. It slept so deeply they couldn’t tell if it was breathing or not. Doc Grant thought it might be a kind of hibernation.
“You might not want to be around when it wakes up,” he’d advised. “It’s going to be hungry.”
