"Come with me," he said, his face displaying a look not unlike that of a puppy begging for a treat.
I looked back down my street, not seeing it but rather what it represented: safety, security, love. My life was comfortable. I had everything I needed. I couldn't leave everything for an adventure with someone who faced danger everyday.
"Please," he pleaded softly. His current attitude was so different than the one of the man who had grabbed my hand and cried "Run for your life!"
Resolutely I shook my head "No. I'm sorry, but no." I backed up towards home.
The man looked down, obviously hurt. "Alright." He turned and walked into the little blue police box. A haunting, beautiful noise filled the air, and the box began to disappear.
Suddenly I cried out"Wait!" I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by. My life was unreasonably mundane, and now I could change that. He was completely terrifying, but so, so exciting. When he didn't come back, I realised what people mean when they say that their heart sunk. I stood and stared at the spot where he had been, wishing with all my might that he would reappear.
Then, against all reason, I saw his blue spaceship materialise. He looked out and said to me "Did I mention, it also travels in time?"
