Makes me think of some strange sci-fi story that would be on a old "Twilight Zone" episode. Like two astronauts are lost in space. They are almost out of food and water and are on the verge of killing each other.When they come across a strange cloud that allows them to see back to their home town. They sit there and stare at it for hours. No one can be seen except a small boy that slowy walks by with a red balloon, his face cannot be seen. The astronauts put on their space suits and exit the spaceship. They slowy drift toward the cloud. Slowly getting closer and closer. They both desperately reach out to try and touch it.
