Michael noticed the blue spot on his leg when he was taking a shower. The spot was on his thigh and was about the size and thickness of a quarter. Michael pressed down on the spot and found that it was as hard as glass.
In a few days, Michael went to see his Doctor about the spot. His Doctor injected a local anesthetic and tried to remove it , but was unable to. X-rays showed that tendrils from the object extended deep into his leg.
The Doctor frowned. "I have a friend at the university that might have a better idea of what we are dealing with here." The Doctor wrote a name on a slip of paper and handed it to Michael. "Professor Abrams is an old friend of mine. I will call and explain the situation."
Professor Abrams turned out to be a woman which was more then a little embarrassing for Michael. Unfortunately, he had few options. Professor Abrams looked closely at the spot and then pressed it hard. "I have never seen anything like this." she said to herself.
"What do you think it is?" Michael asked. Professor Abrams shook her head and retrieved a large magnifying glass and again examined the spot. "It looks like a tiny city." "A city? that's crazy." Michael said. "Maybe, but that's what it looks like. I will have to do more tests. she answered.
Over the next few weeks, Michael spent almost every evening at the Professor's lab. "I have discovered a few things." Professor Abrams told Michael one night. First of all, the object in your leg is some kind of city composed of very tiny alien creatures. Secondly, the city sustains itself by drawing energy from your body. "You mean it's a type of parasite?" Michael asked. Professor Abrams shook her head. "It only draws a small amount of energy from your body. Not enough to do you any harm."
"One more thing", the Professor added. "The object is sending out radio signals and I am trying to decipher them." It took months for Professor Abrams to interpret the radio signals.
Professor Abrams looked up from a computer printout at Michael. The radio signals from the object on your leg are mostly a message of gratitude directed at you." "Gratitude for what exactly?" Michael asked. "For the temporary use of your body." Professor Abrams answered. "Apparently, this is a common arrangement where these creatures originate from."
Michael shook his head. It was hard to believe something so fantastic. "So what do we do now?" he asked. "I am formulating a radio message in the creature's language asking them to leave your body." the Professor answered.
A week later, the Professor broadcast the message to the creature's tiny city and in about an hour the colony exited Michael's leg without even a scar left behind to remind him of his intimate encounter with alien life.
