Sophie slung her camera bag over her shoulder. The light was perfect for landscape as well as macro photography.
She saw the space ship just above the clouds. As she watched it get closer, a telescopic cone protruded and shot a beam of greenish light onto a yellow-wood. The tree miniaturized and was drawn up into the space ship.
The beam shot out again, two metres in front of her and swept closer. Sophie grabbed the reflector from her bag and deflected the beam as it reached her.
As she watched, the space ship shrank and disappeared in green light.

Hahaha! Sophie was smart to reflect the light back to the space ship! It minaturized itself into disappearance! LOL! Cute story, I enjoyed it!

She’s obviously a very quick-witted woman. I hope she doesn’t regret her actions, though – that spaceship could have been collecting specimens to ensure life on Earth doesn’t end when the asteroid hurtling towards the planet collides… Great story. 🙂
