Day 1,899

The Tavermouth factory workers left one of the loading bays open last night and eight people went missing. This might have been left as two separate points were it not for the fact that they were all within three miles of the factory and were all wearing something red.

None of them have been found and nothing was reported missing from Tavermouth but it seems to be a lot busier than normal and there are at least eight new faces among the workers. Not quite the faces of the missing people but from a distance the similarities were striking.


The second time they left a loading bay open felt more deliberate, like the first time was a test and it had been a success so they were trying to replicate the results. It was on Bonfire Night so the whole area was bustling after dark with drinks all around and enough fireworks to mask screams of terror for delight.

Thirteen went this time. All wearing red and all within three miles and slowly but surely thirteen newish workers came to Tavermouth... though nobody ever saw them leave and again, the resemblance to the missing was a tad disconcerting.


The third time didn't go well for them. Something had changed in the year between the last incident and the night they left a loading bay open this time became fatal. Although nine people disappeared, one was found again almost a month later.

Well, the lower half of their face was found. It had been removed with surgical precision - tens of thousands of tiny cuts that gently separated skin from meat. They could have survived this and, if rumours are to be believed, one of the new factory workers has yet to be seen without a scarf covering their face.
