I lock the door to the pet store, the animals in the cages inside looking at me sadly as they’re left alone in the dark for the night, turning walk down the quiet empty street, the cold autumn air blowing over me, the evening sky clean, a dark void filled with countless shinning lights, it's hard to imagine that every one of them has worlds orbiting them. As I stare up at them I wonder what could be out there in the vast dark void, how would we look to those on other worlds?

The darkness is suddenly illuminated by a beam of light shine around me. I try to move but find myself unable to, some sort of force holding me in place, resisting against my every movement. Confusion and fear fills my mind as I begin to rise off the ground and into the air, my heart racing in panic as the ground below moves further away and I get closer towards the blinding light. 

I find myself floating, upright and naked, in front of me stands an alien, they lips moving as they say something in a strange language. 

I try to move but as with earlier attempts I am unable to move, my body held tightly an an invisible field. I try to speak, wanting know what is happening but my jaw is held in place. 

I suddenly feel movement as I'm slowly turned to lay on my back, I watch as several robotic arms move around me, one jabbing me with something. I suddenly scream in silent agony as I feel an intense burning pain in my crotch, as a laser cuts through my flesh, quartering the wound as it goes, slowly and painfully removing my balls, my body unable to move or get away as I'm forced to endure the agonising procedure. 

I breath hard as I feel my balls fall away, the cutting finished and I feel a cool gel spread under my limp cock, the tingling numbing sensation it makes is almost pleasant. My mind, barely able to think from the pain, struggles to figure out what is happening, as I look fearfully at the alien. What will they do to me now? 

The room moves as I am brought upright again, left hanging in the air, my now permanently limp cock dangling alone. I look around as much as I can, fear fulling me as I dread whatever is coming next, still processing the loss of my manhood. The floor and ceiling open and several tubes of various sizes move towards my paralysed body, forcing their way inside me, one tube pushing into the head of my cock, painfully stretching it open as it travels up to my bladder, a thick tube forcing its way deep into my ass, filling me and causing a slight moan to escape my lips. Two small tubes work their way into my nostrils, pushing deep into my airways, pumping air into my body as a large tube pushes my lips apart and makes its way forcibly down my throat, my body choking and gagging in response to the intruder but I can do nothing as it holds pumping something into my stomach. 

Struggling to control my gag reflex I watch as the stars out the window begin to move faster and faster, becoming streaks against the black sky. I'm being taken far from home, probably never to return. As I watch the lights fly passed I feel a slight sting and my eyelids grow heavy, my racing heart slowing, my breathing becoming less panicked and slower. Is this it? Am I to be some specimen for an alien till I die?

I awake gasping and coughing, the tubes no longer down my throat. I look around to see bars of a cage, through which I see other cages, some containing other humans, some containing other aliens, all naked, most looking frightened, as far as I can tell all the males look like they've been fixed just as I was, not sure about some of the more androgynous aliens or the females, although the thought of what they'd have gone through for that makes me shiver and I quickly try to think of anything else. 

Looking around my cage I see a bed, similar to that of a dog bed and two bowls, I also see a large tray filled with what looks like litter, am I supposed to go in that? Seeing another human casually reliving themselves in their own tray answering my question in an unsettling way, especially as they seem completely uncaring of being watched or being reduced to going like an animal. Looking back through the cage the building looks strangely familiar, is this a pet store? Am I in an alien pet store? Am I to be sold as a pet? It explains why I and everyone was neutered. 

As I look through the bars I see what I'm guessing is a family of aliens, similar to the one who abducted me. They look at the various caged pets, one human backing into the corner of her cage, curling up, completely scared and terrified, I don't blame her, inside I'm freaking out, but I also want to get out of here, maybe I can find a way home, so I try to be calm, at least on the outside, as the group of aliens reaches me. One of them says something at me in a strange language and I move closer, resisting the urge to flinch as their hand touches my naked body. I don't know why but I lower myself to my knees and the visitors stroke my head, the feeling of any contact feeling nice. I watch as they smile and walk away, one turning and waving to me. I'm left feeling lonely inside my cage, trapped and on display, wishing for more to visit me. 

Suddenly another alien, seemingly wearing a uniform approaches and opens my cage, the family of aliens standing nearby. Have they chosen me to be their pet? I feel a collar wrap around my neck and a click as it locks around my throat, the shop assistant attaching a leash to it and tugging it, prompting me to step out of my cage. I follow obediently as I'm led to the counter, the assistant talking to the group and then handing my leash over to them. 

Fear and awe come over me as I'm led out by my new owners, the alien world coming into view for the first time, the sky filled with towering buildings, impossible structures and flying vehicles, large glowing sighs and high above what look like large starships and spacestations. I really am on a different planet, one far more advanced than my own, the technology completely beyond my understanding, my ability to use it no existent. 

Epilogue: 

I stand in my cage, my owners busy doing housework, the younger family members out at what I'm guessing is school, later they'll play with me or have me sit with them while they watch shows on their implants, I never get to see the shows not having been given such a thing, to them I'm just a mindless animal, and seeing what they have for homework, I can't even understand their science projects for children, I might as well be an animal. I pace feeling energetic, I haven't been let out of my cage yet today. My owner notices and says something, I make out the meaning of one word, walk, I move excitedly to my cage door, trying to show that I want out of my home. As the door opens I don't resist as a leash is clipped onto my collar, one that now has a name tag, written in alien symbols, my name some alien word that I've learnt to respond to when called it. Happy to be let out I obediently follow as we leave the house and walk outside, I do nothing to try and cover myself, I've long gotten used to being on full display in public, no one seems to care, I'm only viewed as an animal, not an equal. I also don’t try to run, I saw how well that goes on my first day, another pet tried to escape, his owners having him modified to be more docile with a control implant, one that shocked him into only thinking obedient thoughts. We make it to the park, the grass feeling great under my feet, I see other pets, some running, others sitting with their owners, one, the woman who backed away from my owners in the pet store, crotches and pees on the grass in the open, as their owner stands next to them, completely calm, uncaring that others can see them relieving themselves. I feel my own bladder and squat down and release a stream of piss onto the grass, it's much nicer going out here than at home in my litter box. 

I hear my name and look up at my owner who holds a glowing ball, then unclips my leash and throw it, the word meaning fetch rings in my ears as I chase after the ball, happy to burn off some energy, picking it up I proudly bring it back, before being sent to chase it again. 

Exhausted, I step back into my cage, happy to be home again, and take a long drink from my bowl and lay down in my bed, content after my exercise. It may be strange but once I got used to my new life here I actually realised that I prefer it from my old life, I didn’t have much of one, especially after seeing how much it was lacking compared to those on this world, I really am just a dumb animal who is grateful and lucky to have a good home. Laying down in my bed I quickly fall asleep until the rest of the family get home and everything gets a lot louder.
