One crisp autumn evening, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, a sharp rap echoed through your quiet house. You weren’t expecting visitors. Peering through the window, you found nothing but the empty porch—until a movement near the ground caught your eye.

I tried to focus on the board as the teacher tried to explain long division. Math had always been hard for me. I’d barely passed through it last year.

“Wow,” Lily spoke in a voice filled with awe, “when they said the world might end in fire never did I think they meant like this. Red chrysanthemums do bring a firey touch though.”

“Indeed.” River nodded looking at the scenery ahead. It was almost like they were mere ants in a field rather then a water elemental and a human earth elemental hybrid.

“He said the meeting was 5:30 right?”

Adam took another look around, hoping to see the truck pull up.

“They told me 5:30, I swear to god”

Martin grabbed the backpack again and took a look at the device.

“Can’t believe they’re paying 70 grand for this piece of shit! Where did you find it again Adam?”

“We found it washed up on Strathemere beach. Must be rare for these guys to shell out that muc...
