A giant chartreuse sphere appearing over my apparent was not on my 2026 bingo card. I was enjoying a nice quiet Saturday evening when suddenly my window went dark. I opened the blinds to look out and saw it there lazily loitering overhead. It was absolutely massive and its aggressive hue almost burnt my eyes. I was absolutely flabbergasted. It appeared I was not the only one as people on the streets below me were in all stages of panic and curiosity.
I ran out of my building as fast as I could afraid of the motives of our enigmatic visitor. For what reason could a giant startlingly yellow orb have to hover over the Bronx. I wasn’t waiting around to find out. I booked it towards the spheres periphery as fast as my legs would allow. Many others took a similar course of action and we became a wild stampede running in all for cardinal directions.
Arriving at the spheres edge the NYPD were erecting a barrier to and cautioning onlookers not to approach. It was around this time I received a notification on my phone warning me to evacuate the area. A bit late that. There were first responders waiting to usher the escaping New Yorkers to safer ground. It was only upon being free from the immediate zone around the sphere that the absurdity of my situation began to set in. I could not stop laughing for minutes. But then as my giggles faded so did the sphere. And then it was gone.
