Dust: Part 26

The Start Previous Part When Tuesday evening arrived, Tamaya drove to her uncle Simon’s house. Supper was about ready when she arrived. Simon mentioned the accident before Tamaya brought it up, saying that he had been required to close down his shop for a few days. “What happened?” she inquired, trying not to sound too […]

Dust: Part 25

The Start Previous Part Tamaya returned to her apartment after reading through the accident reports while putting them away then pacing to and fro for several minutes trying to decide what to do with them. In the end she left them at the desk in archives with a note explaining the situation, sans the whole […]

Dust: Part 24

The Start Previous Part When Tamaya reached archives it was immediately clear that no one was around. The desk was empty and the lights were off, but that didn’t stop her from calling out to see if anyone was there. After waiting for an answer and nervously glancing around, she made the decision to call […]

Dust: Part 23

The Start Previous Part Work had been insane for the last couple days for Tamaya Sheach. She didn’t really know what was going on, but everyone was working overtime and the amount of papers they were having her shuffle back and forth was far beyond thrice usual. Something big had happened, that much she could […]

Dust: Part 22

The Start Previous Part Keegan spent the rest of Saturday checking just about any radio frequency that might conceivably be used by the people searching for him. He sent a message to Rick suggesting he do the same. Rick was probably in a better position to check for radio related stuff anyway, as he had […]

Dust: Part 21

The Start Previous Part Keegan had been going through his day normally, spending some time on his computer and doing some chores, when the full impact of what had happened the night before hit him. Not the part where he died and reappeared in the woods, but the whole situation with the bike. He was […]

Dust: Part 20

The Start Previous Part Friday morning arrived, and Keegan had actually slept reasonably well for the first time in a few days. Whatever was happening, his body was getting used to it. He really wanted to find out more about what supposedly happens when he “dies”, but that isn’t something he really felt comfortable testing. […]

Dust: Part 19

The Start Previous Part The nausea attacks were definitely going away. This time it had barely been anything. He didn’t even end up actually vomiting, although he had felt like it a couple times. That was nice, especially because work had called and they were going to be opening again on Wednesday. Although, if the […]

Dust: Part 18

The Start Previous Part “Crap… crap… crap… crap… CRAP!” Rick exclaimed as he ran down the sidewalk. “Oh man, This… this is all my fault!” He stopped in front of his house to catch his breath for a moment. “I puffed him up… by calling him a superhero… and made him feel invincible.” Entering his […]

Dust: Part 17

The Start Previous Part After Rick and Keegan exited the building, Rick went to get a closer look at the mark he had seen on the sidewalk. “Are you really that interested in a black spot on a sidewalk?” teased Keegan. “I was just wondering what it is…” “Well, the sun’s starting to get low, […]

Dust: Part 16

The Start Previous Part Keegan watched as equipment was packed into vehicles and the tent was taken down. He was trying to identify whatever he could in hopes that there would be something that would shed some light on… something. He didn’t really know what, which made it rather difficult. He did this for several […]

Dust: Part 15

The Start Previous Part Keegan arrived at the building without any unusual occurrences. Earlier that would’ve been a good thing, but now he actually wanted the woods thing to happen again. Funny how that works, first he’s annoyed because it keeps happening, now he’s annoyed because it hasn’t happened yet. Anyway, Rick wasn’t there yet, […]

Dust: Part 14

The Start Previous Part “Do you think it’d be safe to go back to that roof?” “IDK, why?” “I’d like to get another look at the site, with the binoculars this time.” “Oh, right. You didn’t get to use them last time…” “So what do you think?” “Even if the government isn’t watching I’m not […]

Dust: Part 13

The Start Previous Part When it had finally subsided, Keegan noted that the nausea attack hadn’t struck him quite as badly this time, perhaps his body was adapting to whatever it was that it was doing. That or he was just getting used to throwing up all the time. Man, if this didn’t let up […]

Dust: Part 12

The Start Previous Part For a moment he just stood there, staring blankly into space. “What…” He began upon snapping to, “Uh… It happened again, dangit.” This whole randomly-snapping-to-in-the-woods thing was starting to get rather annoying. “Let’s see, I went to Rick’s place, I convinced him to put off his superhero plans, we spent some […]

Dust: Part 11

The Start Previous Part This wasn’t a place Keegan often went of his own volition, but if they wanted to keep this a secret phone conversations were probably a bad idea. He had the feeling Rick was probably doing some sort of a preparatory task, which needed to stop. For once he was going to […]
