Remembering her lessons, Anna popped out from behind the cover with both hands on the pistol. She lined up her sights, and paused. This target was not an oversized raft, she was about to engage a living, breathing… human? — Are they even a threat? Can I live with it?#AmEditing pic.twitter.com/zVtFBTWQfJ

While it was good news that solid ground at hand, the feminine form that kept her at bay was worrisome. The interaction between this potential imaginary construct, and the environment unnerved her, violating all she knew about the fog. — It has a mind of its own.#AmEditing pic.twitter.com/aQX3bzgBci

“I’m just a faded memory of what once was, some might argue that I belong in a… museum. You’re the closest thing to a human that I’ve come across in centuries.”
“So why help me?” Anna asked.
“Compassion remains one of our biggest strengths,” Evelyn said.#AmEditing #WritersCafe pic.twitter.com/xklfrzJRoT— Evelyn Chartres (@EvelynChartres) December 19, 2020

“Power lines,” Evelyn said.
To Anna a dead tree was a dead tree, especially after centuries of exposure. They looked like a dark stain on the scenery, as though they had been scorched by a vengeful god. — How would anyone know unless they lived through it?#AmEditing #WritersCafe pic.twitter.com/7HUEQcad5R— Evelyn Chartres (@EvelynChartres) December 18, 2020

“This will help you—” Evelyn said.
“Me?” Anna asked.
“Yes, you!” Evelyn teased. “If we get separated, you’ll need to get there.”
“Separated?” Anna asked.
“Well… shit happens,” Evelyn said after shrugging. “Do you know how to read a map?”
“Uhhhh,” Anna said, “…yes?”#AmEditing pic.twitter.com/jTacWfALBC— Evelyn Chartres (@EvelynChartres) December 18, 2020

“If I guessed right,” Evelyn said. “We should be over a clear channel. An old highway that runs just below… so nothing… big… to fly into.”
“Did…” Anna said. “…not inspire confidence.”
“You too?” Evelyn said with a giggle as the plane sank halfway into the fog. #AmEditing pic.twitter.com/ZFTbR2myfY— Evelyn Chartres (@EvelynChartres) December 15, 2020

She first looked at Evelyn who had not moved much, if at all, since Anna fell asleep hours ago. Anna had never seen her sleep, and never ate food more than a couple of times since they met. — How does she keep pushing herself like that?#AmEditing #WritingCommunity pic.twitter.com/YuLHKThbZZ

During the whole of her life, Anna had never gazed upon the sky. Sure, she had been living underwater, but just above those waves the fog held dominion over the world. It was impossible to fathom the vastness, let alone prepare for the beauty of a clear sky at night. #AmEditing pic.twitter.com/8xm09BLh6T

The thing howled, and slammed its head into the doorframe. Anna was aghast when the cinderblock crumbled to dust. Despite the infrasound, the beast entered the bay. It was at least twice as tall as the doorway when standing and was nothing but muscles, fur, and teeth.#AmEditing pic.twitter.com/UNOzCWs0jv
