Excerpt:
“Tell her to come in, nobody should be outside in the
dark alone. This is a lonely area.”
The words had an instant effect on Mike. A finger of
panic poked into his abdomen. “Alright,” he said, standing up
abruptly, sending his chair skittering across the orange linoleum
flooring.
“We’ve got about an hour of damned paperwork to go
through and then you two can go home.”
Mike didn’t hear the last of the sentence as he was
already out the break room door. Intense feelings of doom and despair
covered him like a heavy wet blanket. Cold sweat began to form in
pockets on various parts of his anatomy. His left eye was throbbing,
something it did sometimes only when the contact was off. His feet
wouldn’t move fast enough. Am I dreaming?
he thought more than once as he looked down at his traitorous feet.
He quickly passed by the welcome station and the man he
was replacing. Ted Stanton looked better than warmed over death but
in degrees only highly specialized equipment would be able to
determine.
Ted awoke from his slumber just long enough to wave at a
kid passing him by, who for the life of him he couldn’t figure out
why he was here. Or who he was for that matter.
Mike was coming up to the two sets of glass doors that
led out to a small parking lot. Jandilyn’s car sat by itself.
Mike’s heart lurched, It’s already
happened. He sagged, not knowing what ‘it’
was just yet and he didn’t know if he had the courage to find out.
The front of Jandilyn’s car was facing him, but the interior was
too dark to make out anybody inside. Once he pushed through the
second set of doors he began to run to the car, his heart hammering
in his throat. Something in the front seat leaned forward, the stark
white sodium lights in the parking lot caught just enough contour to
illuminate a yellowing skull, Mike pulled up short when he saw what
was superimposed over Jandilyn’s face like a trick photograph at a
carnival and then it was gone.
Jandilyn’s smile vanished from her face faster than a
cheetah on the Savannah. “What’s wrong?” she asked, getting out
of her car.
“I’m sorry… nothing,” Mike said, visibly shaken.
“The light… I don’t know.”
