Chapter 4-Motivated to be kidnapped

As we dive into chapter 4, we find Billy awake in the middle of the night before his daughter's wedding. He cant sleep beacause he knows that the aliens are about to come and kidnap him. Time traveling can bite him in the butt sometimes, huh? After stepping outside, he is abducted and "the terrific accleration of the saucer as it left Earth twisted Billy's slumbering body, distorted his face, dislodged him in time, sent him back to the war" (77). I feel like the motivation for Billy to be kidnapped was the fact that he traveled to the future and saw it happen. If he hadn't, he would have been fast asleep.
