All the lights were turned off at the station, the officers were out on the streets to keep an eye on the town. Some of them were at home to rest and took their turn for the morning shift. Colby Jones hadn’t slept for two days, he sat in his corner office examining all the confiscated evidence that his officers had sorted out for him.
He took a cassette that says Molly and Holly Anderson and put it in the tape player. He pushed the play button. Colby put on his glasses to read some journals and looked at some pictures as supplementary evidence. He was all ears to the hypnotic session of Dr. Feelgood that’s playing on the player.
Dr. Feelgood : Do you know where you are, Molly?
Molly : I’m in the woods … there are trees everywhere.
D : Where are you going?
M : (Hesitant) I don’t know … but she told me to go straight.
D : Who told you that?
Holly : The Lady … I see her too, let’s just follow her lead.
D : You’re there too, Holly?
H : Yes, there’s nothing but trees.
D : Can you tell me if it’s day or night?
M : It’s grey, I’m not sure if it’s dusk or dawn.
D : Can you describe this lady to me?
H : She’s wearing a black dress … an old-style Victorian dress.
D : What does she say to you?
H : Nothing … she just pointed … I know what she meant (panting) let’s just go this way!
M : Yes! Hurry! (panting)
D : Why are you in a hurry? Where are you going?
H : To the island … we have to go to the island!
M : Yes … it’s going to end soon … we have to go away from here …
D : Why would you think the world is ending?
H : (Panting) because it is … I just know it.
M : Look! A boat! … oh the mist is so thick … I can’t even see the water.
H : It’s here! There! Water! It’s a bay!
M : (Gasps) Wow! This place is beautiful … but strange.
D : What do you mean strange?
M : It’s just different … it doesn’t look … it looks dead.
H : We’re on the boat now … we should paddle.
D : Is the lady with you?
H : No, she’s not coming, she’s staying here … for the others.
D : Others?
H : Others like us … she’s like us too … special.
D : You mean psychic?
M+H : (Not answering) (Silence for a moment)
D : Are you still there?
There was a muffled sound of something shaking.
D : Note … the twins are having a minor seizure, their eyes rolled to the back … I’m going to give them a shot to relax the muscles.
D : Molly … Holly … can you hear me?
H : (Grunts) Stay away from us you evil man (her voice changed)
M : Stay away from the island … let us go in peace (her voice changed into an old woman’s voice)
D : Who are you talking to?
H : (Shouted) YOU! YOU! ALL OF YOU EVIL MEN!! STAY AWAY FROM USSSSS … (the S hisses)
M : You have to stop this before it’s too late! (she grabbed the Doctor’s hand)
Their facial expression changed dramatically, snarling like an angry cat. The doctor made a note of it on the written report, the recording ended there. Colby suddenly found himself in the dead silence of his office. He looked around to make sure he’s alone because the hairs on his neck made him feel like he was not.
He was wondering if the same warning would apply on the present day. Stop before it’s too late. People were missing and now a body, food will soon be scarce, famine and chaos would be a more terrible outcome than any nightmare he’s ever had. The tape had given him more than something to worry about, it also gave him a possible solution.
