A Future Appeal

Rebecca began to think that maybe this online date arrangement had all just been an elaborate practical joke. Maybe this gorgeous woman didn't exist at all. Then a luminous object hovers above the clearing in front of her. She nearly wet herself. It just hung there motionless about five feet off the ground. It was hard to judge its size because it was so close, so its overall shape was hard to discern.

It seemed to glow all over, but without any visible light sources. It was smooth and featureless with just a surface that seemed to be emitting light in all directions. Then an opening appeared in the side of the huge thing. It was a roughly rectangular panel that seemed to be hinged on the bottom, forming a curved ramp that extended slowly from the opening.

She couldn't see into the object through the opening, because a dazzling light came from the interior. Then she saw a silhouette of a woman - or what appeared to be a woman - in the "doorway." It walked down the ramp fairly quickly, and when it stepped off the ramp onto the ground and approached her car, it was holding out a hand toward Rebecca and said, "Everything is going to be alright" then Rebecca's world went dark.
