spacecraft – luna's on line

“Look. There’s a spaceship up there.”
“How exciting!”
“Will it come down?”
“I do hope so. We have been here for too long.”
They stood completely still while the smaller hoomans moved around and then they moved on.

Then several tiny Martian guys join them.
“Will they see us?”
“We can only hope.”
“Do you think they will wait for us?”
“Do they even know that we are here?”

“Okay, back to the top, I say.”
And so they did.
And it did go dark.
And the tiny spacecraft appeared again… and then hovered.

“Yay, we’re going to go home…”

It had been quiet as usual, apart from those times when the services were on. I had a part-time job in the cathedral. I did various tasks, from the top of the gantry to do the stained-glass windows, to the lowest part in the crypt where I moved odd objects, but very gently.

I had been in the crypt, but for some reason I headed up. There was a strange noise, and it was getting louder. And then the whole ceiling disappeared into the sky, as the crypt ripped out.

I stared, and stared. It was a spacecraft. How extraordinary!
