Jeff entered the basement, where his Dad was
watching a Christmas movie as usual. On the scene was a courtroom scene, and
Santa Claus was on the witness stand.
“Hey Dad,” Jeff said. “Are you watching Miracle on 34th Street?”
“No, this is one I’ve never seen before. Santa and
his elves are on trial. They’re facing the death penalty.”
“That seems a little dark. What are they accused of
doing?”
"I'm not really clear on that,” Dad said. “It’s been
weird so far, not very good. But I always watch to the end.”
Intrigued, Jeff sat down to watch. Santa and his elf
were convicted and sentenced to death, though it was still unclear what crime
they had been charged with, or if they were truly guilty.
A few minutes later, Dad paused the movie to refill
his water bottle. When he returned, instead of pushing the Play button, Dad hit
Input by mistake. At that exact instant, the house was struck by lightning. A
surge of electricity passed through the house, and suddenly, a lightning-like
beam of energy emerged from the TV, engulfed Dad and Jeff, and pulled them
inside the screen.
