The Object Serial: Episodes Seven, Eight, and Nine

by Winston Emerson

"We don't know where it came from. We don't know what it is. We don't know what it plans to do."

Walking home from school always felt dangerous to Lillia. Creepy people watching you from their porch steps. The sudden shift of an upstairs window curtain. Spurts of conversation with no visible source. It's no surprise when she finds herself being followed by a drunk.

The surprise comes when the sky suddenly goes dark and she looks up to find a perfectly round and enormous object settling in over top the city. The object looks more like a moon than a spaceship, but it certainly doesn't look friendly.

Now Lillia must escape her stalker in the dark and get home as fast as she can. Her foster siblings are waiting for her, alone, and the wind already carries the sound of chaos erupting in the streets.
