The story

A suit with a secret

A suit with a secret

Chapter 1

A suit with a secret

Someone stumbles onto a UFO secret. Then strangers turn up in black suits, with a black car. Who are they? Over the years, they've been several different things.

Chapter 2

A costume for forgetting

Some visitors who wanted to keep secrets projected a plain figure: black suit, black car. Staring at it worked like watching a swinging pendulum. It helped people forget.

Chapter 3

The trick that wore off

As news about contact leaked out, the costume stopped working. A few people in government copied it anyway, thinking it was "a nifty idea". By then it had worn off.

Chapter 4

Made of our own fear

Mostly, they come from the hidden part of the mind we all share. When someone fears a secret they've stumbled onto, that mind gives the fear a black suit.

Chapter 5

Sunglasses after sunset

A singer swore two men in black turned up at a wedding gig, dressed alike, in sunglasses after dark. They were people from our world, "having some fun".

“The mystery is that you all created that moment together.”
