The Light in the Woods by Frank Sonderborg

 

"Seamus, look its coming from over there."

"Jazus lets spend some time in the woods, she said. It'll be cool she said.
Some relaxing downtime. Put your feet up.
Now you're telling me there's a spooky light in the fucking woods. Stop it! You're scaring me."

"Quiet, you moron, you'll scare them away."

"Scare them. What about fucking me. Calling me, a moron. A few minutes ago I was the love of your fucking life. I hate the fucking woods. The fucking Ants. The fucking snakes."

"Quiet down! Look! It looks like some sort of craft. Yea, I can just see it. It has a revolving light. And look, two children are working on something, at the side.
Now they don't look so scary do they."

"Christ one of them looked our way. Jazus! Did you see its evil eyes. That is no fucking harmless kiddo."

"Lets move closer."

"No fucking way. I don't intend to get fucking abducted by mini monsters masquerading as children. I've got my project to complete on Monday."

"Hi, there, my name is Anna and this is my friend....Seamus? Where are you? Oh for fucks sake, first contact and you shit your pants and do a fucking runner."

Seamus had completed his Monday project before the cops arrested him. 

No, he had no idea where Anna was at present. 

Yes he had been on a weekend camping trip with her. 

Yes, he came home alone. 

No, again, he had no idea where Anna was or went. 

Maybe she went away. Faraway. Yes that was it. She has gone faraway.

And he refused to say more, until he spoke with his lawyer. 

The police cuffed Seamus and took him away. 

The search continues for the missing woman.
