HOSPITALITY FOR ALIEN STRANGERS

PREVIEW OF NOVEL TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE FALL OF 2023

At the time, no one understood that what took place on that April day in a modest-sized city in the Midwest would impact the whole of creation.  People awoke that Monday,  April first , and there they were. Like giant circular shadows, at least ten of what would quickly be referred to as Flying Saucers, hovered over the city. It was clearly not an April Fool’s moment. It was almost as if the visitors had a sense of humor. 

IMAGINE HOW YOUR CITY WOULD RESPOND

At first, thousands of people stared out their windows in horror, then they began to panic and seek shelter—some in basements, others in closets, or in bedrooms. After a couple of hours, people began to realize that nothing was happening except for their mysterious presence. They made no sound, didn’t try to land, didn’t shoot missiles or flash strange lights. They were just a presence hovering over the city.

 People at the edge of the city had another shock to their system. They discovered the city was enclosed in a giant, almost invisible, bubble that rose from the ground and continued over their heads completely closing them inside.

Some tried to take a hammer or drill to the bubble but couldn’t even make a dent. Many called 911, but the line was quickly jammed by calls from all over the city. Emergency vehicles quickly established that while one could move around anywhere in the city, no one could pass through the bubble and leave the city.

BEING OBSERVED FROM AFAR

 It was almost like the people were in a fish tank being observed by their new visitors. Yet it wasn’t clear whether the saucers held creatures or were just piloted by computers.
