Prompt: Cairns of porous rock line the path down the mountain. Words: scared, family, cloud, mother, guess, room My Snippet: Cairns of porous rock line the path down the mountain. It unnerves me a bit, to see such evidence of their presence. Whoever they are. We're still not quite sure. But these little stacks have started appearing all over the village. People are scared. Hell, I don't blame them. When you open the door to your baby's room and there's a cairn of stones stacked in his bed, you can't help but be a bit freaked out. That's what happened to Iri's family the other day. He said his mother went white as clouds and collapsed. Shit, if that happened to my mother, I would've gone out searching for them, too. But now Iri hasn't come back. So I guess it's my turn to go out there. I promised I wouldn't leave him to the "them." But now as I look at all the cairns down the path, I second guess my decision.
