</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Meanwhile, not too far [[away]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">Rose walked the moonlit [[forest.]]</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
It was her only time to herself, with her hunting and gathering job for the pack and taking care of Skylar and Phoebe alone. The twins would start [[Sasquatchkins Day Camp]] soon, but until then, she was in charge of their education. “ How am I supposed to do this?” She thought, “How can I do this without Manny,” as she continued her stroll through the [[woods.]]
</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore One
(Sasquatchkins is the premier K-5 day school in the forest, akin to a Waldorf or Montessori for sasquatches.)
[[back to story ->forest.]]
</div>She caught a (t8n-depart:"blur")[[glimpse-> The Swan Lake. ]] of herself in the [[stream.]] It wasn’t like she didn’t have suitors banging at her cave door a few months after Manny died. With her russet color fur and large brown eyes, she was always one of the more sought-after shesquatches in the [[pack.]]
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Two
Rose knew she wasn't supposed to be outwardly vain, but she took great care in her appearence, brushing, washing and conditioning her fur weekly. Only about 5% of female born sasquatches have red fur.
[[back to story ->woods.]] .]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She just wanted her [[mate]] back. The human hunters were getting more and more violent, and if one of them made another attack on her family, she’d be ready to respond in [[kind.]]
Rose was lost in thought [[as...]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Three
Sasquatches mate fore life. It's rare that they get together with another sasquatch after they pass on to the next dimension - Vanaheim.
[[back to story ->pack.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Four
Sasquatches are non-violent, but if provoked they retaliate.
[[back to story ->pack.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
a branch cracking shook Rose out of her reverie. “About a hundred 3feets away,” she thought. “The humans don’t usually try to murder us at night.” That’s when they’re around their fire doing their shenanigans if they decide to stay in the forest and sleep. That’s when Rose would [[fuck with them.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She’d walk past and steal their food and sleeping bags if they were drunk. They even had a drink that she and Manny called [[fun time water,]] which was bubbly and made them laugh a lot. But after humans killed him, she stayed further and further away. But something was off this [[time.]]
</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Five
What sasquatches call beer or hard seltzer.
[[back to story ->fuck with them.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She walked toward the noise, caring not to make a sound. She saw a [[human woman]] walk into the woods. Her clothes didn’t match the leaf-shaped clothes that the hunters had; Rose saw a tiny wrap thing around her butt and on the top part something that glittered like starlight, and she noticed, with a little pang in her heart, a tiny wrap around her shoulder that looked like [[fur.]] Fur from [[what?]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Six
Humans usully traveled in packs of 2-4 humans, so a lone human was odd for Rose to see
[[back to story ->time.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Seven
Sasquatches are pescatarians. Seeing fur on someone usually means death. It was frightening for Rose to see fur on a hairless human.
[[Back to Story ->time.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Rose saw a glowing [[opalescent light]] coming from further inside the forest, and she hid behind the trees, watching the human approach it. “No!” Rose thought, “Stop!” The human woman was drawn to the [[light.]]
</div>Sasquatch Lore Eight
Sasquatch had seen these lights before, they were in their mythology as (t8n-depart:"blur")[[omens-> The Wet Oracle. ]] or good fortune.
[[back to story ->what?]] <div style="font-size: 18px;">
An amorphous, [[shadowy shape]] appeared from the light like smoke. The human lifted her hand to shape and walked toward it. The shape began to [[transform]] into a solid body. She lifted her hand/paw to her mouth in disbelief. “It couldn’t be!” she thought.
</div>Sasquatch Lore Nine
Rose had (t8n-depart:"dissolve")[[seen->Meet the investigator]] these shapes before, but mostly they left the pack alone. It seemed oddly intererested in the human woman.
[[back to story ->light.]]
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Sasquatch Lore Ten
The shadowy shapes had never transformed before.
[[back to story ->light.]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
You are probably wondering what is happening
to Rose why is she experiencing those hallucinations?
And most likely thinking of what’s the story
of the murdered woman/ women of the town.
I’m the investigator,
the lady who walked
into the bar soaking wet.
Here are a few moments
before the bar scene.
[[ The Wet Oracle. ]]
[[ The Swan Lake. ]]
[[The Smudged Prophecy.]]
[[The ShowReel. ]]
[[After The Plunge. ]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
We daily sign terms and conditions
without reading or noticing what it
is trying to tell us.There many things
that are obvious to us but we willingly
look the other way.
The (t8n-depart:"blur")[[lake->woods.]] is filled with debris and other hidden secrets.
Chemicals in the lake have developed making the
water catalyze properties that trigger neurons
to expand beyond normal perception.
It allowed some beings that are swimming or diving
into it to experience some strange prophecies.
Vanishing strokes, goosebumps, and fleeting
moments. Some just witness halos, images,
and appearances projected into misty clouds.
Others experience more visceral encounters
like meeting or touching someone from the past
or seeing glimpses or clasping clues from the future.
The right and left sides of the lake unveil different truths.
Something about the lake, it communicates
via senses, suggestions, and symbolism.
Whoever is going through the fragmented frames.
needs to stitch the moments together to decipher
the full picture and message of the encounter.
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Rose accidentally fell once into the lake and saw
projection of late Manny. Ever since she kept going
back in an attempt to see him once again.
Sometimes, she experiences hazy lights and foreign, alien-ish figures.
Rewinding memories and reliving moments of joy like slurping
fun time water with Manny. Other times, the projections depict screams,
terror and sinister auras. Death, corpses and bad intentions.
Some lake visitors witness dreams while others live in haunting nightmares.
The lake knows it all channeling the wisdom of ancestors and guidance
of forest spirits, through the utterance of disguised silent nerve voices.
Washed images, and open ended interpretations.
Like the groovy dreams in naps after heavy lunch breaks.
Lucid, metaphoric, leading, miss-leading without a script
or a direct meaning. Rose realized swimming deeper into the lake
gave her more accurate, vivid and visceral visions. But it had one problem
just like the moon is known to have a darker side. The longer and deeper she swam,
the more acidic the lake water became, resulting in burns to her (t8n-depart:"blur")[[skin/fur->stream.]].
In other words, the lake is a double sided sword, it embodies a world of joy
but also an emblem for agony. Staying longer in the lake puts rose, you or
other visitors in a dichotomy between suffering and pleasure.
</div>During one of her dips into the
lake. Manny appeared again, although
the water burns the deeper she goes,
She insisted on following him and
having another moment with him again.
Her skin was burning, but apparently
Manny knows something about a murder.
She was intrigued because she saw a woman
vanish and there are news circulating
that some ladies are disappearing in the town.
She swam through burning fireflies,
piranha-like biting orbs and Manny started speaking
telepathically to her. “I was walking back to our home,
I saw someone murdering a lady.
I tried to stop that person but I got shot and fell
into the lake before being able to do anything.
The person was masked but I could
see glimpses of a waistcoat something
close to the attire of a waiter. Before leaving
this world, I saw many human remains laying
on the bed of the lake. When I died I saw scenes
of women screaming, barrels, corpses being
thrown into the lake. It was weird, in those moments
as I'm leaving my body the flavor of (t8n-depart:"dissolve")[[fun time water->fun time water,]]
were saturated in my glands. The killer is a drinker.”
Manny washed away and the gigantic X-Ray skeleton
appeared again, this time it was pointing at (t8n-depart:"blur")[[blurry neon signs->window 1]].
Before disappearing again. She had to glue the scenes together.
And the story is now more personal because the murderer is not
only killing the women of the town but also killed her lover.
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Rose was so determined to find more
(t8n-depart:"blur")[[clues->has she]], delving herself into further scenes.
Weaving herself deeper into a fictional
tapestry of realities. Resisting, forgetting,
perhaps, ignoring the pain that is strangling
the formula of her body.
The burning was growing outrageously,
cells shivering, fur decomposing and
human skin was generating.
Living intimate moments with Manny,
blurred her realization that the lake
is almost like consuming her,
molding her features, resculpting
her genes and turning her into
a human woman.
In the process of morphing,
a muffled voice seeded a clear
mission into her consciousness.
The vision included a route that
passes through a nearby camp
with emphasis on the camper’s suitcase,
an area she is familiar with.
Those scenes were draped with flashes
of the neon signs, clinking cups,
and scripted laughs.
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
With the immense encounters
a dip in the lake felt like a week
of incidents. Rose left the water
panting, with exhaustion she
crawled towards the land seeking
refuge and coughed out a lot of water.
I’m Rose, the investigator, the lady
that (t8n-depart:"blur")[[entered->she]] the bar soaked wet from
the pouring rain.
Having a human body was strange
to be honest, I left that lake charged
with anger and personification of justice.
Determined to find the ladies’ murderer.
after I stole some clothes from a neighboring
camp, I gulped liters of hermit’s fun-time
water and resumed my journey.
I followed the glitching neon signs exactly
how did the prophecy map it out for me.
The Gigantic X-ray skeleton was pointing
at the bar by the edge of town with urgency.
I knew it immediately,It's where all the locals
go to drink and vomit out their life stories.
Despite my previous size, I know how
to be a silent observer. The prophecy
lead me to the (t8n-depart:"blur")[[fun time water place->someone]],
to seal some unfinished business
with its owner, Manny’s killer.
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
The word Manny had barely entered Rose’s mind when the flash of light engulfed everything around her.
[[Adjust eyesight]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
The light shines further, burning the image to silhouette. As Rose adjusts her eyesight, she comes to see the forest has gone completely and she is surrounded by an array of cloud-like paint strokes.
They blink like pulsing neurons, glowing information weaving in and out of the synapses.
[[Look ahead]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She looks forward, and the luminescent figure begins to show its face, flickering in and out like a faded flame. It's...
[[Manny]]
[[Human girl]]
[[Rose's reflection]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
There he stands, blonde streak in his fur just as she remembered. Scrape just above his eye from that branch when they were toddlers playing in the snow. That same mischievous grin.
[[Talk]]
[[Just sit]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
The glow only just obscures the human's face.
It does not obscure the blond streaked fur draped around her shoulders.
[[Step closer]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
The first thing that stands out to her is her eyes, her face.
They were...
[[Red]]
[[Tired]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
A sound just escapes her lips when Manny “Don’t talk. Just look.”
[[Look left]]
[[Look right]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She takes a deep breath.
There's a puddle at her feet, and she looks down to see [[Rose's reflection]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
The human reaches for something around her back.
[[It's a gun!!!]]
[[Wait, just wait a second]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
"Have I been crying?" she wonders.
A faint orange flow captures her attention from her periphery.
[[Look right]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
"How long has it been since I've taken a dip in the lake? There's debris and leaves all ove-WHY IS THIS WHAT I'M THINKING OF??"
[[Look ahead]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She sits on a canyon now, with lights in the air, like a firework show or a meteor shower. Manny sat. She remembered this day.
[[Sniff the air]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Looking past the sinewy stem to her right, there Manny stands again, cocking his head with a vacant, empty smile, as if to say “what’s wrong?” “Why are you looking at me like that?”
[[Talk]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
[[Fight]]
[[Flight]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
Slowly and gently, the human removes the pelt and lays it on the floor.
The nerve-like tendrils swirl over it like the oak roots she danced around, her and [[Manny]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She smells the hunters making their way, sees them soon after as one of them holds their rifle high, hears the (t8n-depart:"rumble")+(t8n-time:1.4s)[[BANG->The Smudged Prophecy.]], remembers how Manny was dead before he hit the ground.
[[She understands]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
She stands back as the neuron stems bunch up like rope, then bursts open, releasing spore-like orbs, dancing in the night like (t8n-depart:"blur")+(t8n-time:1.4s)[[flickering->Meet the investigator]] fireflies…
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
BANG
[[...]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
BANG
[[...]]
</div><div style="font-size: 18px;">
[[Sniff the air]]
</div>
