It was a night to remember.
All of a sudden the door opened with dark noise and he, yes HE, came in.

We all were waiting for something, but we all didn't know what it was.
I was first to say "`Hello Sir"'.

-- \textit{silence} ---

It seemed like an invasion of something alien.
No one knows, if it is evil or just some kind of short intermission.
