Part 6/7:
When Walton regained consciousness, he found himself on the side of a road, approximately 12 miles from Snowflake. Dazed and confused, he spotted a reflecting shape he recognized as resembling the earlier craft. The smooth, shiny surface of the metallic object remained hovering momentarily before it ascended rapidly without a sound.
Determined yet bewildered, Walton staggered to a nearby phone booth to call his family, who struggled to believe that it was truly him. Once they realized the gravity of his situation and picked him up, the conversation soon turned to the timeline of his disappearance.
