Chapter 17

Luke was scratching away at his head. How on earth could the kids have a chunk out of their day to fall... asleep. "Makes no sense." he mutters to himself.

"What's that?" one of his colleagues asked. "Oh, sorry, just ignore me, my mind's away wondering." Luke replied. "Sounds like you're not getting enough sleep." they thought. "Eh... my sleeping pattern is just fine." Luke added. "Huh. Just fine? Maybe we could do some improvement on it then." they added. "What? What do you mean?" Luke asked.

The work colleague smiled and pulled out the purple cat from behind his back and placed it down on his table. "What the hell do you think you're playing at? You're sleeping with cats?" Luke accidentally exclaimed. "Who's sleeping with who?" someone asked out loud. "What?" shouts another. "Someone's sleeping with someone?!" shrieks another. 

"Why the fuck did you had to show me up like that in front of everyone you miserable asshole!" the colleague muttered under his breath and retreats away from Luke. "No, no, nothing to discuss, nothing to discuss. No juicy gossip, no juicy topic. Get back to your desks!" he shouted. "Hey! You're not the boss. You can't tell us what to do!" someone barked. His face lights up pink red with embarrassment and goes to sit down at his table. 

Luke quietly dunks his head down and giggles momentarily to himself. He then snaps it off and returns to normal, functioning focus mode. 

"Hey! Luke!" someone whispered as they wave a news article above their computer. "What. What is it?" Luke asked as he gently takes it off them. "Read it!" they whispered. Luke proceeds to obligate and starts reading the article:

'HUMAN REMAINS UNEARTHED IN PROPERTY'

This morning, authorities have officially confirmed they have discovered human remains when they were called by a local resident of 'recent disturbance' in the neighbourhood of the late Elliot Ludwig. 

At approximately half two in the morning, there were sounds of screams and shrieking emerging from the outskirts of the fence that surrounds the many houses of the estate. The resident described it as troubling and unsettling, and how it send chills down her spine. She said she resorted to the only leverage she had by calling the police. By the time it took them over 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there, the disturbance seemed to have elapsed.

However, detectives caught side of an unusual amount of rubbish stacked on top of each other and so undertook a excavation. It wasn't too long afterwards that they came across a human head, another; a human harm, dissected bladders and dismantled elements of human liver.

Authorities are seemed to remain relatively low on the circumstances behind this tragic discovery. It has been noted many of these incidents are in no relative connection to the events at a previous facility from many, many years ago, as some crazed conspiracy theorists had been claiming in the past. The claims that were made were thoroughly investigated and had no credibility of their own, given they had no proof or evidence at the time. That being said, it is strongly advised to citizens they should not be going deep into these claims. 

"Oh my god, that is horrifying. The description to detail is uncanny valley vibes. Aw God." Luke thought to himself. "I know, right? Very disgusting. And disturbing. Close to the neighbourhood too. Quite literally. The outskirts." his colleague added. "Yeah, tell me about it." Luke added and goes back to work. 

"Huh, I wonder if the old place is still there though..." Luke whispers to himself. "What?" his colleague asked. "Doesn't matter." Luke added. 

"Yes it does." the guy said.
