. · ◠ ☾ ▬ N I G H T F A L L came early this evening, the town swallowed by darkness entirely as circe‘s shift came to an end. at that point, the blonde would have gotten into her car and drove home, but since her old reliable truck developed issues with it‘s engine, circe’s only option was to walk home now. she checked her phone as her steps quickened - 9:45pm. fifteen minutes before curfew. it surely made circe feel uneasy, having in mind how many people recently dissappeared. and not only that, there was something in the air tonight - something that made the blonde‘s hair stand on end. as circe continued her path, a figure illuminated by the street lights caught her attention and a stone fell from her heart. « s‘cuse me ! » , she called out, jogging up to the person. « hi ! uhm - sorry, but would you mind walking with me for a bit ? i know it sounds weird, but with everything happening lately, i just don‘t feel exactly safe alone at night. »
