This is a story I made it up two days ago. It's about a sheriff Tom Bel in a small town trying to figure out what these strange lights in the sky are and maybe find love while doing it.
Part 1
Before I became sheriff, I was just a small-town kid with big dreams and a whole lot of curiosity. I grew up in a tight-knit community where everyone knew everyone else, and life was simple but hard. My mother passed away when I was young, and my father, well, he was the sort of man you’d see in one of those old western movies—grizzled, tough, and stoic, but with a heart that beat for his family. He taught me to work hard and keep my wits about me, and I carried that lesson with me through life.
Becoming sheriff wasn’t something I planned; it just seemed to fit, like the old leather boots I wore on the job. The role gave me a front-row seat to the twists and turns of small-town life, and I’ve always had a knack for seeing things others might overlook.
Now, let me tell you about a night that shook me to my core. It was a balmy summer evening, and I was driving down a lonely stretch of road on the outskirts of town. The night was calm, with just the occasional rustling of the wind through the trees. I was on my way home from a late call, when suddenly, I saw it—a series of strange, pulsating lights in the sky. They were unlike anything I’d ever seen, flashing in colors that seemed to shift and shimmer.
At first, I thought it was some kind of newfangled light show or maybe a prank, but as I watched, the lights moved in a way that didn’t make any sense. They darted around erratically, then hovered, and then just disappeared, only to reappear moments later in a completely different part of the sky.
I pulled over to the side of the road and got out of my car. The night was eerily quiet, and I could hear my own heartbeat in the silence. I tried to call in to dispatch, but my radio was dead, as if whatever was up there was somehow interfering with it.
As I stood there, trying to make sense of what I was seeing, I noticed a group of teenagers from town who had been out partying. They were stumbling back from a nearby field, and they saw the lights too. We exchanged nervous glances, and one of them, a girl named Elsie, kept saying it was like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
But it wasn’t just the kids who saw it. That night, I ended up talking to an older couple who lived a few miles away. They had been out on their porch when they saw the same lights. The old man, he swore up and down that it was a sign of something—he wasn’t sure what, but he had this look in his eyes that made me think he believed every word he was saying.
I stayed out there until the first light of dawn, hoping to catch another glimpse of whatever it was. Nothing. Just the usual rural silence and the rising sun.
Weeks went by, and the lights never showed up again. I tried to find answers, but nothing ever came of it. It was like they vanished into thin air. But those lights—those flashing, shifting colors—are still etched into my memory. And every time I drive down that road, I can’t help but glance up at the sky, half expecting to see them again.
I know it might sound like something out of a tall tale, but I swear on my father’s boots and my own oath as sheriff, I saw something that night that I can’t explain. And sometimes, the things we can’t explain are the ones that haunt us the most
