When I was a kid, we would sometimes drive through a tunnel in town. Near the access lane was a big street light, consisting of many lights on a kind of upside down flying saucer. I had no real idea how far or how big this object was, but I thought it was actually a small town in the clouds. Obviously, there had to be a way to get there. So everytime we'd drive past this street light, I saw a small road nearby which I thought was the way to this mysterious city. So I'd always ask my dad if we could drive this road, and he'd tell me 'maybe one day'. I was puzzled by the fact I could not see the other end of the road entering into the city up in the air. But I accepted that fact: after all, I knew I was only a kid, and thus there had to be a few things I could not understand nor explain!
