From beyond the Horizon

Jake was not as tall as the other boys his age. He was not as smart either. Jake thought that if he tried to touch the horizon a dawn, the skies would give him superpowers so he could save the world with his super-companion and pet, a chicken called Mark.

One evening, Jake hurried to the back porch to see the sundown. Jake lifted his finger and pointed at the orange horizon. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes. Once the flash was gone, Jake saw that there was small disk-like ship in his own backyard. He hurried to fetch his camera and his chicken companion and pet, Mark.

The apparition of the disk-like ship was the beginning this story. Jake thought it would be a legend that he would be the principal character.

Now because Jake had a chicken, it is necessary to say that Mark, the chicken, had eggs.

Once both child and chicken were outside, the ship showed no signs of movement or life in any way. Jake decided that he needed to study the ship before telling anyone about it. But even before Jake could touch the small object, the disk-like ship turned into an egg. Jake was surprised to see this. But even tough of his surprisement, an egg was nothing strange. For Jake and the Mark the chicken, an egg was just an egg. So seeing that there was no ship, there was no need to study the egg. The egg was left alone, because the chicken would never claim the egg as its own. The egg eventually became a victim of the numerous animals of the hill next to Jake’s backyard.

Concluding that no disk-like ship ever existed, and that there was no proof of its landing on earth, there was really no story. And because the was no story, Jake’s desire to be in a legend slowly faded away.
