Blip

The silence of the evening is shattered by a loud bang.

It’s a car backfiring as it passes the house that sits in a quiet street.

Father: figures it’s only a vehicle backfiring and goes back to his paper.

Mother: jumps nervously and asks what it was and is told by her husband not to worry as it’s probably just a car backfiring.

Son: hears the noise although he has his headphones on, takes them off and goes to the window where he peers into the darkness, but there’s nothing to see, so he goes back to his music.

Daughter: the younger child has been in bed asleep for over an hour and barely twitches with the sound.

Cat: runs under the couch and hides.

Spider: the web up in the attic vibrates causing the tiny creature to investigate.

Molecule: a group of atoms moves when the soundwave hits the boy’s glass of water.

Blip: a small green dot that momentarily appears, unnoticed, on just one of a large number of screens that are mounted on the deck of the alien surveillance craft circling the planet at a great distance.
