Mystery
Descent (Part Ten). Content Warning.
Blinking, trying to push through a fog that had fallen over my thoughts, I struggled to understand what I was seeing. Looking for all the world like they were at mass, or waiting for the bride to emerge at a wedding, rank on rank of people knelt with heads bowed. Each one facing the man at the front. The ranks were not perfect, holes stood out reminding me of gaps in a smile.

Night in the haunted forest. Part 5
“What the hell?” whispered A.J. “Shouldn’t we call the police?” asked Emi. “I am going to check,” said Tim. “No!” I grabbed his shoulder. “Do you remember the rules of the Appalachian Mountains? If you heard something, no, you didn’t; if you saw something, no, you didn’t. Don’t whistle, don’t look back, and walk away but don’t run.”

Fant
Frail, they deemed her frail as a child. The surgeons skilled hands pulled the last few stitches. Mulling the thought over in her mind. Curiously she looked at the multiple scars across experiment 377 chest. Heart surgeries, lung issues, multiple broken bones due to a brittle bone condition, and now she lay on the table, infused with extra terrestrial life form, and the physically perfect human. Even as the other members of the team removed the intubation tube, iv's, and other accompanying instruments the sutures were visibly growing new skin. She had never gotten this far. She looked over the brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin.

From The Journal of Kairi Hirata
[A sparkly notebook lays open on the desk, its owner having been temporarily called to help her mother in the kitchen downstairs. While we can't see it, "Property of Kairi Hirata" is inside the front cover. The page it is open to is a questionnaire, filled out in sparkly gel pen and loopy cursive writing.]

Should We Meet Again
"Can your friends drive you and your daughter to the hospital so they can make sure she doesn't have any hidden injuries? I would ordinarily do that, but all units are at an apartment blaze and I have to look for the black truck before he gets too far. Are you sure you can't remember the make?" The Trooper asked.

Birth Marks
Heather, a later teen, lies awake; staring off into the ceiling late at night, contemplating what she saw was a dream or not. Her eyes eroding with fatigue while she continuously stared at the ceiling. Her hands rested gently on her midi nightdress with a fold, feeling the rough fabric of thick sheer underneath them. Heather's eyebrows gently squeezed together as she tried to make sense of it all. Did she eat a poisonous plant by accident when she was having one of her adventures through the woods? Maybe it was her imagination going too far, or maybe she brushed up against something that causes hallucinations. That must be it, right? - there was no possible way that could've been real.
