На днях моя подруга по имени Эми пережила очень странное событие. Она сидела одна в гостиной и смотрела телевизор. По телевизору не было ничего интересного, поэтому она выключила его, собираясь снова включить в четыре часа — к своей любимой передаче. Она встала и посмотрела на часы. Было 12:05. Когда она шла на кухню за перекусом, она вдруг увидела яркую вспышку света и почувствовала, что поднимается над полом. Она закрыла глаза, пока поднималась, потому что ей было страшно. Когда она открыла глаза, то обнаружила себя в своей спальне наверху; в руке у неё была тарелка с недоеденными бутербродами. Она тут же побежала обратно вниз, в гостиную, и услышала по телевизору музыкальную заставку своей любимой программы. Было четыре часа! Не думаю, что мы когда-нибудь узнаем, что же произошло с ней в тот день.
