Friday: A New Mystery
By morning, the storm had passed, leaving a blanket of destruction in its wake. The tarp was shredded, the garden battered, but the bus and treehouse stood firm.
Jas stepped outside to assess the damage when something glinted in the sunlight. They crouched, pulling a strange device from the mud. It looked like a small, futuristic tablet.
Inside, the device flickered to life, projecting a hologram into the air. A message scrolled across the screen, looping repeatedly. It read: “Seek shelter. The worst is yet to come.”
Jas stared, heart pounding. Ivy Mae’s voice broke the silence. “What does it mean?”
Roman stepped closer, his face grim. “It means we’re not as safe as we thought.”
