When McKayla toldΒ
Imogen Howe
she needed time off for a vacation she never said how long. Imogen didn't ask the duration expecting McKayla to offer it herself. However no further details came. McKayla didn't even say the destination. These were all details that seemed basic to a vacation request....

Dave... the other one, not the one who worked with Keith in a lab, was still stuck inside that motel. He hadn't eaten in four days now. Was worriedΒ

There was nothing good on. All the good stuff went to streaming services now. TheΒ
TV
was akin to paper mail. Nothing but junk and ads.
But the big man hadn't left him a computer. He didn't have his phone on him. There was nothing to do but watch the tube....

at least the groceries
as reply to Dave Said.
It was enough food for two days he supposed. Calories. No nutrition really. But something to consume and not be 'starving' at least.
He didn't know what he was going to do. In fact he had never gotten a reply to the question: how long would he have to hide out...

as reply to Been Changed
Keith had always found his upbringing sad. Over the couple days he told it to
Imogen Howe
, he realized it wasn't sad at all. Had he read a similar upbringing in another man's biography he wouldn't pity the guy. Would find it relatable. Nothing to be ashamed of.
That's what...

She was asleep when he returned. The song kept playing in his head.
"TheΒ Seaside Rest , the place that knows you best."
Stuck in his head. An ear worm. Funny that it was this motel jingle.
He thought about what to do. Sat on the chair near the other window, away from...

convince me, Big Joe said as reply to No Idea
And he would have no idea. Because in a flash he was blacked out.
THUD.
He woke up later. Not sure what time it was. He could tell it was a basement. But the windows were completely blacked out. There was no way to sense whether it was day or night.
"You're awake,"...

as reply to How did She Get Here
Imogen Howe
never left town after high school. She had one the "most likely to never return" for her class' mock awards. The award show had taken place in the gym. Dark with the spotlights on the stage. The song "I'm leaving, never to come back again" played as Imogen...

quietly
as reply to Was There
After a moment he felt safe. Safe enough at least. He knew that he'd be safe there so long as he stayed still. He wouldn't be found by any hostiles. How did he know? Too much experience in 'the field', he thought.
The safety had him relaxing a bit. He could...

keith heads to the airport
as reply to It was Cold
The air chilled as it glided across the sea. The sun was no where today. A bad omen Keith thought.
When a good thing was happening was when he worried. When things weren't going well, an omen didn't mean much.
Imogen was flying in though. He feared the worst. Knew it would...

eerie feeling
as reply to To Her
She checked the time. This flight was too short. She wished she was a few thousand miles east now. She wasn't ready.
Suddenly she felt that same fear . The same discomfort that haunted her in the darkness of that strange highway exit. Outside that strange house with the lights on...
