Dim twilight surrounded her: the space and time between worlds.

With a start, she realised that the ground beneath her was moving, opening. A hand reached out of the ground, grimy and ashen. And then another. They yanked at the earth, digging up and outward. She wanted to help, she really did. All she could do was watch, though. She was glued to her spot.

Eventually he emerged.

“Alex,” Olivia breathed, disbelief and relief comingling in her body. He was rotting; whole parts of him sloughed off in decomposition. The parts that still remained were muddy. But his eyes remained, so pale they were almost white instead of the green of sea glass, glued open and glassed over.

“You’ve found her. Why can’t you find me?” He asked the question without ever opening his lips, dead eyes watching Olivia. She tried to run, escape from the terror, but that only resulted in the earth opening below her, swallowing her whole. She considered screaming, but either her mouth wouldn’t open or sound wouldn’t come out. It was futile, regardless.
