Reality - Ch. 4

Now we just casually stroll down this road.  Don't stare the car racing past us.  Yes, it's screeching to a stop by the house we came out of. 

Don't panic.  Keep calm.  

I'm guessing they don't know who we are yet.  Otherwise they'd have stopped by us.

Now we're strolling round the corner.

Stop here.  They can't see us. 

Excuse me for pausing.  I'm not being melodramatic. 

Didn't you think it was easy to get around that house?

Yes, I know I was saying I expected to get in easily and the family that were supposed to be there had to go to a funeral blah blah blah

What do you mean "What funeral?"  I one I told you about.  It's-

Oh, I haven't told you about the funeral have I?

I didn't tell you about it because we couldn't go.  All the tickets had been sold.

(Got out of that one.  You weren't supposed to read that.)

Anyway, I think we were being secretly filmed in that house.  Well, when I say filmed I think they might be trying to film us.

Oh come on.  You know you're not real here so they can't film us.  Doesn't stop them trying.

Well, they think we're around but...

Hmm?  Oh who's 'they' you ask.  To be honest I'm not quite sure.  They must be quite powerful to suppress papers from investigating but beyond that.

Come and walk again down this road.

I think there are two groups going on.  There's one group that's making people 'disappear' as Reflections write and another group trying to find out about us.

Yeah, I know it could be one group doing both.  Yeah, I will admit I'm scared.  I don't know who these guys are and I'm damned if anymore of my friends and family are being taken.

Yeah, there I've said it.  I'm prejudiced because one of my sisters disappeared as well.

I didn't think much of it at the time.  I knew she was seeing this guy and they seemed like a good couple.  They moved into this house together and the other people living there seemed to be okay.  I just thought they'd then moved somewhere else.

But after a bit our Mum got freaked out.  I didn't know my sister was often writing letters to her so when they stopped my Mum was worried.

So we're looking for her as well. 

See that pub over there?  You been in it?  No?

Jeez, you're missing out.  Come on - lets have a drink and some food if you want as well. 

It's alright, we won't have to pay.  Well, I don't think we'll have to pay.  The landlord's a bit of a mardy so and so.  I know he's sometimes violent but as long as you smile at him you should be okay.

I can't guarantee he won't hit us but I tell you the food he does makes up for it.
