Night Owls

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

a yellow cab stopped just in front of jerry's field of view. When the cab left, the woman was no longer there.

All at once a blinding light coursed through the space. Jerry and the woman froze. And then a creature appeared, seemingly from the air itself.

Bystanders were curious. In a matter of seconds, a crowd formed. Authorities rushed to the scene to investigate.
