It was all about mood, really.
If he hadn’t been thoroughly fed up with life when it happened, things may well have turned out differently. As it was, he’d been living alone since she walked out, been made redundant and been out of work for months, was having trouble paying the bills and feeding himself, had to sell the car to make ends meet and had been seriously wondering whether it was really worth going on for quite some time. None of this was his fault. It was the world he lived in that allowed all these bad things to happen to him, and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it!
He was wandering through the high street, when the event took place. Right out of the blue, the stupid woman pushing a stroller with a kid in it, stopped dead. He banged into the back of her, cursing. It took a beat or two before he realised that she had more than just stopped… she was frozen! He looked around. They were all frozen; shoppers, pedestrians, traffic, everything! The few trees that dotted the median strip through town were stark still. Not a single leave was moving. No wind. No air movement. Looking up, he watched for a while to see that the clouds were not moving. Was he having some kind of episode?
He was doing this when, out of the corner of his eye, he detected movement. The thing that approached him from across the street, weaving its way through stationary vehicles, was around his own height, extremely thin and completely grey. Straight off, he knew that it wasn’t human. The thing seemed to be wearing a neck-to-toe, matt-grey wetsuit. Its head was oddly round, with eyes that were much too big, a silly looking button of a nose and a lipless mouth that sagged a lot. In short, it was downright ugly.
Coming to a halt in front of him, the alien, it had to be an alien, seemed to be saying, “I come to you, unsolicited…”
He looked around. Everything was still frozen. “What?”
“I have studied your communication, and I come to you unsolicited. Do you understand this?”
“Well, I know about unsolicited mail, I get a load of the stuff; it drives me crazy.”
“That is good. I come to you as representative of the Galactic Council.”
He sighed. “Look mate, or whatever you are, like unsolicited mail, I’m not interested.”
The alien flapped its spindly arms slightly, before going on. “We are here to carry out the Millennial Clearing Program and it is protocol…”
“Protocol?”
More arm flapping. “It is my duty to communicate with a representative of a targeted planet…”
His hand went up, “Hang on, targeted? What the hell do you mean by that? Some nerve; you’ve got. I mean, first, everything gets stopped…”
The skinny arms being raised stopped his reprimand. With what appeared to be a slight shrug, the figure turned and made its way back through the unmoving traffic, and disappeared into the crowd across the road.
After a few short seconds, everything began to move again.
That’s how it happened… before the clearing started.
