The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 221

Sometimes Clara loathed learning that making a call, no matter how guilty it made her, was the right one. Her version of Evelyn managed to convince her to remain on course while saving Julia using another agent… A part of me still hates her for making me see reason…

While the other Clara got the same speech, she instead drove off intent on doing the deed herself and was caught on several surveillance feeds. That shattered their original plan of creating a false trail to The Grand so Clara could take an alternate route… Due to this reality’s version of me and our hang ups about taking human lives, several witnesses corroborate her presence…

A dimly lit, cinematic photograph of a mysterious brunette woman with porcelain skin and piercing green eyes, sporting large, intricately feathered wings that stretch upwards, their dark brown and grey Plumage subtly rustling as she moves, sneaking through a dimly lit, abandoned, crumbling building with broken windows, peeling paint and rusty pipes, while a surveillance camera with a worn, metallic body and a lone, glowing red eye, mounted on a creaky tripod, focuses intently on her, capturing her every move in eerie, high-contrast tones, the atmosphere thick with tension and secrecy, the overall mood evoking a sense of foreboding and mystery.
