The story
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.”
