The Bright Red Scarf

"Why?"

It was less of a question and more of a statement. A surrender, even. The voice was hollow. Empty.

"Because of Them," was the reply. There was contained rage, along with a sense of despair.

Then there was a bright light, and the room was empty. A bright red scarf with fringe lay alone on the floor.

In a quiet town, three high school students have decided to find out who the vanishing girl is.
In M---------, a failed experiment destroyed a man's life.
In T-- F----, two siblings yearn to see a real sky.
And, amidst these six, is a girl with a scarf whose past is catching up to her.
