The True Town By Jayna Tenney A woman in blue hurries away home, unaware of the dangerous creature stalking her while the gray man follows behind it, and the bored woman goes about her life. Such a peaceful town. Such a peaceful town... Hmm, and now the creature is rushing off while the gray man chases after it. The woman in blue looks quite frantic about something, and the bored woman is helping her look for, I believe, a choker. How nice. Now, where did they- ah, there they are. The monster is standing at the pier, in its inconspicuous disguise. The gray man has arrived with his face white rather than gray. Oh, now who's this? They're so small, but somehow quite scary. Oh, I see now. She's just like the monster. Hmm, and now the bored woman has arrived with pale skin upon seeing the monsters too. Those beasties aren't that scary, it's only if they see you that it's scary. Well, I guess they have that right then. Still, it'd be nice to talk to her again. The woman in blue just ran down with worry on her face before she saw the two creatures. She smiles excitedly and rushes off to the one with the choker around her neck. I hope she'll be okay up against them. Perhaps they won't hurt her. Hmm? Oh, the bored woman doesn't look bored anymore, actually her face is scrunched and her eyes are wide. And the gray man has stopped hiding. He is out and right next to the once bored woman.

She holds her hand where she would be feeling the small gem that is on the choker with a face of utter defeat. Want to read more? Click here!
