Uncertain

She had landed in a valley after that near fatal accident. There was an impenetrable face besides the bed.

“Well…. Thanks for saving my life.”

Silence…

“It’s such a beautiful place. And we always thought there were monsters in the valley.”

“We are careful about the projections that go out. The holes in the structures regulate sound and light effects.”

“Ohhhh…. “

“I’m sorry. But those who enter this place are not allowed to go back.”

Oh, Hank …. her words froze mid-air as she pictured him searching for her, and looked at the inscrutable eyes besides her staring coldly.

  1. Uncertain.
    You give us a heroine, but the gender of her rescuer is unspecified. The rescuer may be human or alien. They’ve rescued her, so probably aren’t intending her harm, other than preventing her from leaving. You leave me with the impression that they’re basically benevolent, despite the eyes ‘staring coldly’. You also leave me with the impression that the heroine and her man are courageous and resourceful.
    I’m optimistic of a happy outcome eventually!
    Good read!
