Beacon Paradox

"But before the six friends could ponder on it or even think what to do with the photo, everything started to move. They felt they are being pulled by an imaginary force and the strength of this pull is too much that cannot even hold onto anything. They are lifted off their feet and pulled back to somewhere they do not know. But they are trying to hold onto each other's hand."
