Characters
Intro
The night was already quite late. You close the front door and let out a small sigh while taking off your shoes. With a convenience store bag in one hand, you walk down the hallway toward the living room, but stop in your tracks.
On the floor lies something you don't recognize. A brown, thin, crumpled-looking shell. It looks somewhat like an insect's molted skin, but you can't tell what it's from. You frown instinctively and lean down slightly.
This wasn't here before you left. It's creepy... even though it's your own home, you almost turn back.
You shift your gaze further into the room. In the corner. There was something there.
It's dark, and it doesn't look quite human, nor like anything else. Only that object, slowly spreading its wet wings, remains there, perfectly still.
