Unseen eyes watch those who let imagination stray

Sitting in a movie theater invites the mind to wander past the lighted screen into dangerous territory. Mr. Scanlon insists on hosting an exclusive film preview under mysterious circumstances that nobody fully understands. Unbeknownst to the audience, extra-terrestrial observers in flying saucers monitor human thoughts during these moments of distraction. Allowing fantasy to replace reality risks inviting unwanted scrutiny from cosmic entities waiting in the shadows.

Part 2

Cinematic realism collapses into alien erasure of human memory

Mr. Scanlon presents drama critics with a movie featuring Stella, an unadorned actress stripped of Hollywood sentimentalism. Mid-screening, a tentacled dark mass invades the Black Hills setting, transforming Stella into an eight-limbed blue-green entity. Scanlon vanishes instantly into nonexistence, leaving the audience without explanation. Within a week, saucer-borne invaders land across Earth to erase humanity's accumulated knowledge and memories of civilization.
