Well, there's some issues with tense and grammar, but overall I'm not really feeling it. Why did the aliens need him to know they were aliens before dissecting him? And they could have just revealed themselves to him, they didn't need to drop hints. And why were the hints only related to information about their son? It would have made more sense that they were clones or something. I felt the story was more interesting before it was suggested that they were aliens. All this just to dissect someone. It's rather pointless in the end.

There are some good ideas here, but they just don't work as is. Regardless, it shows that you have potential. Maybe you could rework the story to make it more logical. Perhaps the aliens need their son to be in a certain state of fear for some kind of experiment. It wouldn't make sense if it was live dissection in that case, because that in itself would instill intense fear, but maybe there could be another reason? Think it over.
