Darkness.
Silence.
Finally...
She leaned against the wall outside the building. After all the loud noise and bright lights it was good to get away from everything.
As she took a deep breath of the warm, humid air, the night started looking less dark and the silence was filled with little noises.
She saw the outlines of huge trees and heard the sounds of the tropics - frogs somewhere to her left, birds, the flapping of wings of bats rushing back and forth over her head... and now the sounds of distant waves.
So she was close to the ocean after all. The long ride to this place had left her somewhat confused.
Then she saw the light. A faint green glow not too far away from her. Should she go closer? It was hard to see if she could even walk there. She had gotten out through the backdoor and the jungle seemed to start right behind the building.

She took some steps, careful not to trip over anything - walking through the bushes in high heels was not the best idea but she didn't think it wise to wander around barefoot in the dark.
And there it was. A glowing ball lying on the forest floor. It was surprisingly big, about the size of a football. But when she lifted it up without even thinking about it, it was nearly weightless, more like a balloon. And it felt like nothing she had ever touched before, very smooth - but she couldn't determine if it was warm or cold.
As she stared at the emerald green light she felt as if she was pulled into a certain direction by the ball. She could do nothing else but walk there - like a hypnotised woman she took step after step...
Suddenly, the trees ended and she was at the beach. Her heels dug into the sand and she stopped walking.
"There you are, we've been waiting for you!" said a friendly male voice and she looked around as if she had just woken up from a dream.
In front of her she saw a gigantic thing, black against the moonless sky. It had a shape that didn't remind her of anything she knew, but it floated in the water. Was that a starship?
