An
The light in the sky was brighter than a star and it was not a plane. No one knew what it was but they knew it was coming their way.
Anthony sat on his front lawn with his binoculars spell bound. His wife Anthea brought him out a blanket and a flask of hot chocolate.
Soon the local and national TV stations arrived to see the light which was now hovering over the village. It was referred to as the Annestown’s Anomaly.
Anthony was the first to spot the light and he was very pleased with himself. It had been his next door neighbour Ted who had alerted the media. This strangely annoyed Anthony he really did not want all these people with their lights and microphones buzzing around.
At around 1.50am the anomaly began to glow and pulsate, the media all became very twitchy and excited Anthony suddenly felt he knew what was happening. It was then the anomaly started to pulse more and began to make a strange clicking sound. Anthony and Anthea drew closer together. In a flash the light was gone and with it Anthony and Anthea were gone too.
None of the media or press noticed that Anthony and Anthea had disappeared in fact none of the neighbours noticed their absence for weeks.
Anthony and Anthea were blissfully happy seeking out new event horizons and going where no humans had gone before!

Excellent take on the prompt and a fascinating tale to go with it. I really love tales such as this….especially when it has a good outcome for so often the unusual is depicted as bad whereas why couldn’t it represent good?

Yes why not, it has always been my dream to go to other worlds I think I was born too soon!!
