Chapter 33: The Safe House (21+)
(The story contains explicit sexual activities and profanity)
[YEAR 2055]
Micaela tries to keep running even though her legs are already very tired. The only thing keeping her going strong is adrenaline. The winged monster is still chasing her, and she must find a place to hide.
It starts to get dark. Micaela occasionally slips behind the big trees in the lush forest, catches her breath and runs again.
"A house!" Micaela mutters happily when she sees that there is a house at the far right of the forest exit. She looks back, and feels quite relieved that she doesn’t see the monster anymore. Then she runs again and gets closer to the house.
The house is very small but looks clean, dark brown with a modern minimalist style. Micaela places her palm on an LCD on the door, and the machine detects all of her fingerprints.
"Micaela Ashford, female 22 from Elgyon," the machine reports, and the door opens.
Micaela goes inside.
