What is recorded here

Marianne dropped her coffee cup and ran outside. The kitchen window faced a narrow lane, but the lane had vanished. A tall stone stood in the grass, its edge bright under the moon. She touched the rough surface and felt heat climb her arm. The kitchen reappeared, shaking like a struck bell. Marianne caught the flying cup, but the coffee poured across the floor. Outside, the lane had returned, and the stone was gone.
