The girl in the doorway

[sawyl]

I was woken up rather early than usual this morning by the doorbell. It turned out to be some poor girl who, bereft of handbag, phone and, shoes had somehow managed to lose sense of direction and, more worryingly, her short term memory.

Taking pity on this poor unfortunate, I lent her an ancient coat and pair of shoes, intending to send her off in the direction of home. Luckily, on opening the front door, I found the road crawling with police so I asked them if they were looking for a mystery woman. It turned out that they weren't but they agreed to drop her off at home — presumably after working out what actually happened to her and whether anything bad had occurred during the time that she'd lost.

All very weird.

that's very bizarre... so what were the cops in your street for? found your meth lab?

It could be the beginning of a beautiful love story ?

Or she could be a dangerous bioterrorist carrying a deadly virus.

Who knows ?

Deeply bizarre, although with hindsight both the incident and my reaction to it struck me as deeply Frank Vanderwal.

I didn't ask what the police were doing, I was just glad to they were there — how bourgeois is that? — but I suspect from the way they were crawling around that they were searching for someone, prolly a joyrider or something.

Bioterrorism? Pfff. Your obsession with 24, Lost etc, has clearly caused you to lose touch with reality. To anyone grounded in normality, I think it's perfectly obvious what she was: a witch, or possibly a necromancer, on the run from a vampire crime lord.
