Chapter 3: A Savior Arrives
In a small Kansas town, a young married couple, Jonathan and Martha Kent eagerly load up their freshly picked vegetables onto their old red station wagon to sell in the weekly farmer's market located at the heart of Smallville where residents go to see movies and hangout. It's also a hub for the local high school population.
Yesterday, the local football team, the Smallville Crows won the annual football championships and are ready to celebrate on the streets of Smallville. The streets have been decorated with lavish ornaments and stylish flowers.
Jonathan and Martha Kent, are hoping that this year will be the year they draw in extra sales to help keep the farm running and to build an extra shed in case they ever have children. Martha Kent can't have children and she has considered adopting but the hope of having their own child never left her mind. Every night Jonathan and Martha would stare up into the black skies and wish upon the stars that one day she would be able to conceive.
Jonathan enters the driver's seat and Martha enters into the seat right next to her husband. Jonathan starts the engine and the station wagon creaks and hisses before it starts to move gently down the road, picking up speed gradually.
"Martha, look over there. Do you see that?"
"Honey, I don't see anything."
Jonathan points to a fiery streak heading across the sky. "Over there. It's gaining speed and it just landed in Shuster's field."
"I see it Jonathan, and it's not the only one. What are we going to do?"
Before long several meteors come raining down all over this small town with lightning speed destroying crops and damaging buildings of historic value.
"Martha, hang on!" Jonathan accelerates the brakes and swerves past a meteor heading towards their car.
One meteor hits the sidewalk and creates a big pothole the size of a radio satellite dish.
Jonathan and Martha nearly misses that one as they approach it with maximum speed but are taken off guard as a second meteor following that one crashes right beside them.
The impact makes the station wagon roll and tumble causing both passengers to be unconscious upside down from their station wagon.
Little did they know that they tumbled across Shuster's field next to the meteor landing site.
A few feet away was a spacecraft covered with ash and debris, humming and whirring. An innocent baby lay inside crying.
