A mysterious orb floats in the air, suspended above about 10 feet. It simply appeared one day on the edge of town for reasons unknown. It's just kind of... there, now, and everyone has started to get used to it.

You find yourself staring up at it one foggy morning, hands in your coat pockets -- along with a few other early risers. It emits a constant, low hum that is almost imperceptible to the human ear. It's kind of peaceful in a weird way.
