Equally interesting that this "it" has a sense of panic and is keeping her on the run. A touch confusing that the it locked her limbs and then nudged her to move right after. I'm gonna go with modern sci-fi, since I feel like the it is some kind of alien entity (though I could be wrong).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638991547671653483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-68088371535738227552014-08-27T21:37:47.960-04:002014-08-27T21:37:47.960-04:00Fantasy.
