"Miss Emily, I know you are tired and want to get back out
there and help with the search but I need you to tell me everything
that happened yesterday from the time you woke up to when you came
by my place..."
Well, Gwen and I got up and fed the pigs like we always do and
then gathered the eggs from the chickens for breakfast. after
cooking up some eggs and grits Gwen got up and ready for school. I
walked her near Howard's Chapel so she could meet up with Bridgid
and Trevor and walk the rest of the way to school. While walking
back I passed by MJB's house and he asked if I wanted to swap some
eggs and ham for some milk, so I obliged and told him to come by
and pick it up later this morn when I have had time to cut off the
right amount for him. After leaving his place I noticed a man at
the Silent Spring but thought nothing of it as he could be a
traveller stopping for some water.
Normally Gwen comes home when the light hangs above the trees
this time of year. Assuming she was playing with Bridgid and
Trevor, I decided to get dinner started. After the sun disappeared
and the food went cold while I decided to look for her. I first
went to Robert's house to borrow a horse and then he joined me and
we went by all the houses along Sundown and Zion all the way up to
Brookeville past the Oakley Cabin to which we ended the nights
search at your house.
"Well Miss Emily, we will do our best to find her but to be
honest we have never dealt with a missing person so I am sure she
will turn up soon enough. I bet she got lost and we find her
sleeping near a rock or something."
The search came up empty nothing was to be found....
Weeks later.......(getting to the letterbox)
Waking up to sound of the pigs causing a din, my first concern is
that someone is trying to steal them. I get my rifle, jacket and
boots on and see who it is only to see no sign of anything outside.
Pitch black with a warm breeze hitting my face which reminds me of
the summer breeze yet it is near winter, I ask who is out there and
I get no answer, soon I see to the East a light. I walk
towards it only to see what I think is a person holding a lamp. I
call out to them only to not get an answer so I begin to walk
faster and faster as we go down the greenway. I get a good
distance to where I see the person holding the lamp on the big rock
in the stream, but they are not holding a lamp, it is them that is
glowing. The figure walks towards me as I am on the trail and
passes me to the rocks on the hill and signals me to follow. As I
do I become weary of this but my body cannot stop following. We
stop at the base of the rocks and that is when I lost my ability to
stand, the figure was Gwen and what she has shown me
is.........
