  • Although he could only see her side profile, he recognized her immediately. It was her, without a doubt. Goosebumps creeped up on his arms, his breathing quickened uncontrollably and his pupils dilated.

  • 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.

  • It was shimmering and intangible, it flickered before the eyes so you couldn't focus on it. If Jerry had to describe it in one word, it would be: Extraterrestrial. The creature reached forward as if to touch him and whispered in a strange voice "Welcome home, Jerry."
