Stone Cold

[Claude Saint-Clair]

Claude turned towards Ilesha. The silence said a lot. Ilesha wasn’t used to being around people, and that was fine. Especially since they were different types of people. She was into bikes and he was into the theater. It made it difficult to have discussions, because where do you start?

So her asking about the strangest thing he had ever seen wasn’t exactly a surprise. But the whole snow storm situation had his mind going. He wondered how the monsters would deal with it. And he remembered a story. ”I once had to deal with a mubarrik. Rare creatures. They find people who are desperate and make wishes out loud. They offer the solution to the problem at a high cost.” he sighed and stood up, pacing. ”They feed off of chaos. So they stalk the person chasing them to have “bad luck” until they get bored. Then they kill them. By that time, the victim is usually wanting it. But they don’t stop there. The connect to the victims family and begin to hound them.”

Claude moved to the window and moved the curtain to look out. [color=c1A]”I wouldn’t be surprised if one shows its face out in this.”
