It had the face of my neighbour's kid, the one I used to babysit back before she went missing last year. It also had the faces of total strangers, limbs partially fused and rotting around the edges like they'd only just died when the records would show they'd been gone for fifty plus years.
They lurched and staggered on mismatched limbs, gasping with lungs too damaged to properly sustain them. Creatures like this never lasted more than a few months but by the size of this one it could be the oldest to date.
It's hard to say what made them form but we know where they are formed. Sometimes it's mass graves and sometimes its just a common dumping ground but either way all it takes is one person who isn't quite dead enough to pass to the other side. One person who has enough left of themself to want to live.
And it brings them all back with it into these amalgamations, these poor Frankensteined creatures who don't want to die but can't possibly survive and I hoped I'd never see one in person but Lizzy is right there. She's right there and she looks so afraid and angry.
I hope it'll all die when they find who killed her.
