He turned a sharp left down a line of small houses. The rain plundered down on him like a shower of bullets while he slowed to a stop.
A bright blue light appeared in the sky. The light suddenly became closer, growing in size. Then, a hot wind beat down at him as he looked up at the massive ship hovering above him.
