Abduction For Matt Caliri's "poems To Movies" Contest

"You here?" "Will...?" "Never on time....man" "He's going to win this case just because of these pictures"...He begins to look through the photos. The private eye cracks a smile and begins to hum Spaceman...by the Killers "Of all the songs to get stuck in my head while waiting" "The stupid song's been stuck in my head for what feels like a year." (stands up and appears to be getting apprehensive) "I should win a freaking award for the amount of work i'm putting into this case" "I can't take the waiting anymore." (He begins to pace and dials his phone) "Will? ugh, voicemail" "So, where are you? I can't take waiting here much more, GET HERE!"(hangs up the phone) "You tell people to be on time and they haven't the respect for how busy I really am." The setting is a bleak dark alley, a place where love is replaced by pain, where the light of day barely penetrates. Humanity is replaced by brutality in these cold, dark alleys of the city. For a moment our character looks to the sky between the buildings and sees a strange light. It seems to stop flying for a moment, "Get outta here, is that??" Off in the distance the light (which was small at first), begins to be getting brighter and closer. "My GOD, is that a spaceship?" A blinding beam suddenly brightens the alley way and our character is gone.
