The Note (Part 3). Content Warning.
The ride to the police station seemed a blur. Buildings, cars, and streetlights all passed by in a flash. They turned into a gated back lot and the Constables got out of the car walked around to the side door and pulled it open with a horrid squeal. As Eden went to step out onto the graying pavement, she recoiled. The Officer's face was rotting away, maggots and mealworms squirmed in and out of the black orifices that sunk into his blue-tinted skin, which peeled away like some sort of smoke-stained wallpaper. He looked like a rotted corpse that was suscept to some horrible fate leaning against the side of a rusted-out husk of a patrol car.

Pam was the designated pusher for the starter, which showed remarkable good taste for a starter.

Morning After. Content Warning.
The next thing I knew after this failed ‘date’ was finding myself in the woods. Laying on my side with my clothes torn off me. Not even ragged pieces were left on me like they sometimes had been in the past. Not that this mattered. What mattered was where I was exactly in these woods. Along with where Orion had ended up too.
