“Waiting for the Unknown” by Lacie Nairn

Submitted to Contest #49

Its surface is glossy, reflecting the bright fluorescent lights and casting an eerie green glow on the stark, sterile white walls. Paintings hang in uneven intervals along the wall.

I should have spoken up when it started getting darker and the trees drew in closer. And I definitely should have said something when I noticed the strange ethereal glow in the distance.  We should have turned back then, but Jack is insistent when he thinks he's right. Unfortunately, Jack is rarely right. It's his specia...
