Siren in the Sky

(100 words)

The old stadium was brilliantly lit.  I grabbed my purse and coat, though it was late.

No one bothered me, though there were others on the street.

There was no game in the stadium.  No concert.  It’d been shut down; everyone knew.

When I entered, I joined the silent group standing in the dusty center.

A giant disc appeared in the sky.  My body disappeared, and I was looking down on an empty stadium.  The lights went out.  Only then did I try to scream, but it was too late.  Maybe all will be well, I told myself.  Hold on.
