Day 3
I was alone in my room. I was sitting on the throne, which is soft as if having been used for decades. I got startled by a ring on my door. Scrambling to find where the ring was coming from, I opened the house door to find an empty dark corridor. An unknown dread perched to the back of my head, gently, gently tapping to remind me of my lost time zone.
Later that day Stacco asked me to reach him at his house, which I had to take an underground tunnel for. It was dark, and I took a wrong turn leading me flatly into a wall. I made my way anyway while leaving behind a sense of stillness. I was glad to go out the dry and odorless underground into Stacco's door.
I haven't seen Max since yesterday. Although we said goodbye the night before, I never heard him leave.
Ann Marie's been missing for two days now.
