What
was Carlos doing? Looking for something? Perhaps the keys to his car,
Black Hat supposed, though he doubted it would matter much. He
chuckled darkly, amused – though he was also somewhat intrigued by
the mention of a forest capable of whispering. “No, not a
forest~” He responded, in a similar manner to before. “But
I think you’ll find you can stay~”It
wasn’t as though he intended to actually let him leave, after
all. Though, Carlos was right – scientists could be very busy.
“Not the forest?” Carlos asked softly. He was definitely
concerned now. He thought maybe he was in the Library, but librarians didn’t
usually toy with their prey beforehand… did they?
He found his phone and quickly unlocked it. He shook the
phone, turning on the light. He was shocked to see what appeared to be waxed
tiled floor. “Where am I?” he asked as he turned the light upwards toward where
his car should have been.
However the light hit a mass of something – dark fibers that
appeared to stretch everywhere like some kind of Dr Seussian nightmare.
“Oh! Oh, holy shit!” Carlos exclaimed in shock.
