    This poem by Neil Gaiman describes a surreal day when many strange events occurred simultaneously but went unnoticed by the narrator. Hundreds of golden saucers descended from the sky while zombies emerged from their graves. It was also the day of Ragnarok where mythological beasts were seen. Fairies offered wishes and giants roamed the land. Animals spoke in ancient languages and time machines arrived. However, the narrator was unaware of any of these bizarre happenings as they sat alone in their room, waiting for a phone call.
