xi. Death in the River

The inside of the house was covered not in experiments as I had heard the townsfolk go on about, but in letters, sweet smelling flowers that appeared to be freshly picked, and wooden chairs. The small man beckoned me to sit in a chair and wrote a note to me on one of the papers that was left lying about.

"You heard about the death in the river, correct?"

I wrote back.

"No, I have not. Who died?"

"My son, Lloyd."

"I'm very sorry. My condolences."

Just then, a small girl ran into the room.

"Daddy!"

The dad and the young girl who appeared to be about five years old were approximately the same size. The dad remained silent.

"Who's this, Daddy?"

The dad remained silent still, tears welling up in his eyes. I began to assume that the father could not speak due to some ailment or other. The father seemed to read my thoughts, and with that, he handed me a note that had been pre-written.

"Hello Vaughn,

You may not have expected to come here, but I knew that you would. I am in hiding due to charges that were brought against me in my home country. I am innocent, but a being of the unknown continues to taunt me and control people in such a way that it causes me to suffer. I have lost the ability to speak, but I need your help nevertheless. Please hear my plea. I need you to help protect my daughter Emilie, as the unknown has already taken my son."
