He explained
George continued his explanation, trying to deliver unsettling news with as much calm as he could muster. “We’ve seen similar creatures in the past,” he said, “but they’re rare around this region.” His voice was steady, but Martha could hear the weight behind it. Her thoughts spun faster, trying to connect what she’d seen with what he was describing.
“So this kind of thing happens more than once?” she asked, her disbelief showing. George gave a slight nod. “In certain areas, yes. They’re extremely elusive, nearly impossible to predict or trace.” Martha felt another chill pass through her body. “But why my house?” she whispered aloud, the idea that she had been randomly chosen making her feel exposed and helpless.
