Standing on the sea

One spring day when Jimmy, Mary, and Peter were playing near the riverside, they saw something quite unusual; the reflection of the sea in the river.

Not long after seeing the strange sight, the children saw people standing on the sea. A moment later, they heard them singing. This was followed by bright flashing lights, so that Peter, Mary, and Jimmy could no longer see them, and could only hear their voices in song.

Jimmy: “Am I imagining this? Am I really seeing people standing and singing on the sea?”

Mary: “No, Jimmy. You are not imagining this because I too can see the people and hear them singing.”

Peter: “Me too!”

The young people were so gobsmacked that they could hardly speak to each other. They had never seen, heard, or read about such strange phenomenon. All they could do was behold the strange sight and listen to the sweet melodious voices, never heard by mortal ears. Mary, Jimmy, and Peter stood in awe before the people. When the beings had finished their song, they vanished.

Jimmy: “Where do you think they went?”

Mary: “No idea, Jimmy!”

Peter: “Surely, they cannot just vanish into thin air! They must be around somewhere!”
