Eclipse and a two-headed hummingbird

I'm walking down a street when a pickup truck whizzes passed me, careening side to side. As it swerves to a stop on the side of the road, I notice a car-seat fly out of the window and land in the middle of the street. The baby in the seat begins feebly crawling across the street from us so I run to the rescue, retrieving the child and coming back to the truck; a dazed man is climbing out of the driver's side as I walk up to hand over the baby. The moment our eyes meet, darkness falls all around us and we immediately look up and simultaneously say, "Wowwww!" The stars are so bright and vivid, you can clearly see the Milky Way. And then, seemingly as quick as it came, the darkness makes way for the sunlight to return and we're just standing there looking at each other incredulously. Cut to, I'm coming down the same road again and I see that same truck parked in a driveway. I think 'I should check on that baby' so I just waltz up to the house on the overgrown property. As I reach the porch steps, I hear the creaking of a rocking chair coming from the side of the house, so I begin to walk that way. I can just begin to make out a figure on the side porch through the unkempt bushes when suddenly a small creature flies passed my head, knocking me off balance. The rocking chair groans as the man jumps out of the chair and through the bushes, landing in front of me saying, "Careful! They don't bite but they'll still getcha. Just stay still and calm and they'll leave you alone." I do as he says and sure enough the creature circles around me again, and I realize it's a two-headed hummingbird. It has an additional head where the tail should be; how it decides which direction to go beats me. It eventually flies off and I'm left confused yet enchanted. I look at the man and suddenly say, "I need to talk to you. Can I have your number?" He asks if I have a pen and I pull a drinking straw out of my back pocket. I hold it out as if to hand it to him and as our gazes fall on it, it shifts into a pen. He smiles and takes it, writing his number on my hand. When he's done he drops the pen on the ground and it turns into a snake and wiggles out of sight.
