STARMAN
STARMAN
The sun is hot, hot, hot – you are driving along a long, long road in the centre of Australia.
Suddenly you see a man standing in the middle of the road. He is wearing an expensive suit and nice shoes, but he doesn’t speak – not one word.
You have a gun in your car – what do you do? You must be careful! But you can’t leave him here – there is nothing for hundreds of kilometres around – no water or food in this hot, empty place.
But there is something else out there – a very white light in the sky near Wolalonga.
