When Emily decided to go out and look at the stars from her backyard, the night was quiet and clear. She had a lifelong interest in the wonders of the cosmos, and she enjoyed nothing more than to spend her evenings gazing at the stars. Nonetheless, things were different tonight. She was perplexed as she looked up at the sky and saw what appeared to be a strange bright light going off in the distance.

Emily at first assumed the light was a shooting star; nevertheless, it continued to move and gradually became closer and closer. She was astounded as she watched the light turn into a throbbing ball of light. The sphere was now floating just over her head, and it was making a peculiar buzzing sound that seemed to vibrate all throughout her body.

Emily was experiencing a range of emotions, including anxiety, excitement, and anticipation. She had always maintained a healthy degree of skepticism regarding the possibility of intelligent life existing beyond our planet, but now she was confronted with something that she was unable to explain.

Emily found that she was powerless to move when, all of a sudden, the sphere began to glide downward. It seemed as if she were unable to move from where she was standing as she watched in amazement as the ball softly touched down on the grass a little distance away from her.

Emily could feel the hairs on the back of her neck rising up as the intensity of the humming increased, and it became increasingly loud. She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. She was terrified. A door in the side of the sphere began to gently open as she observed it, and a bright light began to illuminate the area around her.

After that, a figure could be seen emerging from the light. Emily had never seen anything quite like it in all of her life. It had the form of a human being, but its skin was a dazzling silver tone, and its eyes shone with an intensity that seemed to come from another universe.

Emily felt a wave of calm wash over her as the figure approached her in a slow and methodical manner. The entity communicated with her, but not in any of the languages she was familiar with. She did not hear the words spoken aloud but rather heard them in her head, as if they were being sent directly to her brain.

The being explained to her that it had originated on a faraway planet in a faraway galaxy and that it had spent a significant amount of time researching Earth and the people who live on it. It explained that she was selected as a candidate because she possessed a profound reverence for all forms of life as well as a demonstrated curiosity in the cosmos.

Emily had the impression that she was connected to the being in some way that she was unable to articulate while it was speaking. It seemed as though they were conversing on a level that was beyond the capabilities of language.

After what seemed like a number of hours had passed, the being eventually went back inside the orb, and the door shut behind it. Emily was left standing in her backyard, wondering if everything she had just experienced had been a dream as the buzzing sound gradually faded away.

But she was well aware that it wasn't. Her experience had altered her in ways that she could not fully comprehend at the time. She knew that there was more to the universe than she had ever imagined, and that she had been chosen to play a part in something that was much bigger than herself, as she looked up at the sky.
