Hot Lander
A metallic glint on the white field of the river.
Approaching it, a sense of recognition - a silo roof? A sawdust burner? A buoy?
The edges of the cone are familiar yet alien. A capsule?
A vessel maybe, that appears to have arrived uncontrolled, accidentally.
A hatch opening reveals a wood-panelled interior with unrecognizable glyphs.
Is this a crash landing?
What lies beyond the porthole?
Were there (are there?) occupants aboard?
