Tyler hid in the waters below the pier as chaos ensued above. The police kept their distance from the burning warehouse, calling for the fire department.
The lapping sea was a calming refuge from the heat and noise above. Tyler had jumped into the waters, almost instinctively, rather than stay and face the police whom she have called. Wondering why, the imagined scenes entered her mind:
A black humanoid alien was seen with a smoking gun beside an exploding warehouse. It then approach the officers speaking with the voice of their missing colleague...
Tyler snickered. If it was her, she too would have shot first instead of talking to the alien. That's what you get from watching too many monster films.
Wait, does that make me a monster?
Artist's Note:
Happy 2021! And we'll continue where we left off. Tyler wishes to rejoin her colleagues, but it's not that straightforward.
