Don't look now

A man who believes he can perceive hidden Martians explains that they secretly direct human behavior through post-hypnotic suggestion and conceal themselves by wearing human guises that reveal a third eye when opened. He credits a laboratory mishap for restoring his perception and insists the aliens shape institutions and impulses from architecture to warfare. Seeking to expose the control, he tries to persuade a skeptical reporter, producing a tense mix of confession, conspiracy theory, and social critique. The narrative keeps the boundary between revelation and paranoia uncertain, examining how belief, evidence, and authority interact.
