Tranquility base
Man commuting home meets another man who says he is an old acquaintance and gives details of where they previously met. He feels sorry for this man and invites him home to dinner with his wife and son.
After dinner the couple is busy with the cleanup and the visitor volunteers to put the child to bed and read to him.
They allow this and when the guest does not return by the time they have finished the cleanup the father goes to the son's room and sees the horrific penalty of being too trusting.
All of this with the background of the moon landing on the news.
