"Julius Hoffmann lived in a small town near Leipzig, Germany. It was exactly one O'clock in the afternoon on May 20, 2030, when he first noticed it; that dark spot in his house backyard. It was unusually warm for that time of year. He had taken a break from his work as a welder in his home workshop and was eating lunch outside in the shade of a mulberry tree when he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the early afternoon sunlight.
In the middle of the backyard, there was a strange, black circular blot where there had to be sunlight. At the beginning, he thought it might be a tiny passing cloud, casting its shadow down to earth. However, not only was it perfectly round, but it was much darker than ordinary shadow as it steadily floated on the lawn.
