Passage 2 Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary notice an object overhead. “Look!” she shouted to her friends. “That’s a spaceship up there and it’s going to land here.” Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly.

Their car was nearby. “What happened？” asked Mary. Peter scratched his head, saying slowly, “Don’t ask me. Perhaps we had a dream. Did you...Did you see a spaceship？” “Yes,” said Mary. “And we both went into it. Then...” she looked at her wrist. “That’s funny. My watch has stopped. Oh, well, come on. It’s time to go home.” Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass.
