Audio File #7. Title : Manifestation ( Part 7/9 )

They felt the cold breath too... Described every last detail of what transpired mere moments ago. So, was it in your town? Was it just biding its time? Was it stalking you right now? There was no real point in panicking. Predators often react more aggressively to sacred prey; they see them as easy pickings. One good thing that came from the whole damn thing is that you knew how to stun it if needed, how to tell if it was chasing you, and how to avoid it. There are three more disks left, the last two with a real Title was called Manifestation and Costs That Weren't Ready To Be Paid. The other two were disks with the changed titles Hunted and They. Maybe Manifestation will change also? Only one way to find out. You inserted the last disk in the device, and the audio began to play. " Day: 9. Fifteen minutes until exfil. Don't ask me how we survived this long; I have no idea. But that's not to say that the minutes we survived didn't come without a price. We all smell like rotting meat, have multiple lacerations and bite wounds, and we're all becoming more anxious by the minute. It's not made any better that we have to keep moving. The only real hope we had was that we knew where the exfil was going to be. We've confirmed that what we call the Festering is a single entity, no infection risk. It's literally wearing what's left of poppy. We can still hear her calling to kill her, but we aren't sure if it is her or just the Festering imitating her. It's hard to be the reliable one in this situation; I'm just as scared and petrified as everyone else. We're doing what we can to get outta here alive and together. " A low crying filled the air, getting louder and louder every second. " Shit....... everyone, smear yourself in what rotten meat you have left, and play dead. Signing off. " The audio cut, the disk slid out, still with the same title. That was significantly shorter than the others, but the reason was already given. The Festering was closing in. Clearly, they made it out alive. Who else would've continued to make the floppy disks? And exfil was on their way, all you can do is hope that the survivors make it out. And that they didn't take anything with them.
