"The time is the day after tomorrow. The place: a far corner of the universe. The cast of characters: 1 man lost amongst the stars, a man with the common urgency this mans lost-He's looking for home. And in a moment he'll find a home, not a home that is a place to be seen but a strange, unexplainable experience to be felt."

I appeared in a quiet place; I mean pure quiet, no birds dog's nothing. Next to a restaurant.
I looked ahead to a park and saw what looked like three people all looking at something I walked up to them and said,

(phenioxflims83 me and agrace932 )
I didn't get a response they just stayed still and quiet not moving a muscle not even blinking.
I approached the male in the middle, who was on a blue phone.
"Hello?" I said, waving my hand around his face and snapping my fingers, not even a flinch.
"Ok?" I said, backing away. Right into a man who was on bended knee.

I said then walked a few blocks before I heard music.
It was a marching band I recognized the music.
I ran towards the source, passing by more frozen people.

I reached what looked like a parade when I got there I found cars, confetti, people and a band,
All frozen in place like they just stopped doing stuff.
The music was coming from a speaker opposite me.
I turned it off and walked over the whole parade.
I passed frozen kids getting cotton candy; I passed a car with an older woman wearing a sash that said 'Miss Elegy.', I walked over a dog chasing a cat, and I walked past two men kissing.

I looked up and saw a banner "Welcome, Mayor Fitzgerald." it said in big black letters and a convertible the one with the older woman, sitting on a box was, Jeremy Fitzgerald, a security guard. But he is dead.

"I got it, im in a world where everything is different, Fitzgerald is alive, and everything is frozen," I said to myself thinking it was true.

I just wandered in the shopping center; then it became suburbs.
I just walked up to a group of people and just shouted out of anger,


Still no response.

I needed a base camp, one of these houses would do. Like they mind I doubt they'd even notice me.

I walk up to the first house i see, it's a sizeable colonial manor, it's beautiful.

A figure is sitting on the porch reading a newspaper, and i jokingly said,
"You don't mind if i spend the night at your lovely home?" i walked up to the porch, but then the man put the newspaper down, and i saw him, blonde hair and blue eyes behind pale glasses.
"I don't mind at all," the man said calmly smiling at me with kind eyes.

We walked into the house; it was even prettier on the inside.
"I built this house for, oh God, it was Mrs.Indigo? But at the last minute, she decided she wanted to run a saloon, so she's in the wild west section stopping a bar brawl. " he said motioning me over to a couple of couches.

We sat down, and i said what i was thinking.
"Who are you what's happening and where am i?" i said fast and confused.

"In that order, I'm Mr. Fredricks and im the caretaker of this place, and you're in Elegy." he said happily pouring two drinks.

"And what is elegy?" I asked, getting a bit angry at this man's vagueness.
"Wells it's kinda like a cemetery, in a sense" he continued, "Everyone gets the chance to live their best life, like being elected mayor, win a beauty pageant, or meeting friends you haven't seen in years," he said handing me one of the drinks.
I took it, and he made a cheering motion.
"To eternal happiness," he says smiling. I took a sip of the drin;k it was ok.
"So if you had one wish, what would it be?" he asked me. I was getting a little dizzy, so I just told him.
"To be human again and with my family, that's what I want." I said, getting weaker.
Then blackness.

I was whistling camp down races while dusting when I was done I looked over to the new 'resident'.

A man lost. He had a common wish, a simple one, really- he wanted to be human, at home with his family. And fate, a laughing fate, a practical jokester with a smile that stretched across the stars, saw to it as he got his wish, with just 1 reservation: The wish came true, but only in the Twilight Zone."
