Chapter One
Wyoming waited patiently on the porch for her mom to come home from work. The sun was just setting over the Teton Mountains, making the sky a brilliant array of orange, pink, and purple. Her home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming was on the outskirts of Jackson. Technically she was in Jackson, but everyone referred to the houses on the outskirts of the city to be a part of Jackson Hole.
A quiet summer breeze came from the valley, bringing her the sounds of the road. They were a little off the beaten path but it was beautiful. A two story log house, it was built by the construction firm that Wyoming's mom owned. Wyoming looked at her watch and frowned. Her mom was late again. Probably stopped by the supermarket for something. She hoped it would be fried chicken. Another breeze came through and she heard the sound of police sirens.
They're getting closer Wyoming realized. She turned to go inside when she heard the screeching of tires and sirens. She broke into a run and went for the gun safe upstairs. She quickly typed in the combination and retrieved a shotgun and some ammo. The cars spun out in front of her house as she fumbled with the ammunition. She loaded it and turned the safety off. The shotgun was heavy and it was difficult holding it up. She heard the front door open and close and she stopped breathing.
Everything suddenly seemed to move in slow motion for Wyoming. The person came into sight but Wyoming couldn't quite make him out. He looked completely normal. Brown hair, 5'10", fairly light build. What caught her attention were the eyes. They were a silver color. They seemed to flash at the sight of her, which made her hesitate. He turned right down the hall and time seemed to resume it's normal pace. She jumped out into the hall and raised her shotgun. A bright light filled the hallway before she could fire. It seemed to go on forever.
It ended suddenly and Wyoming felt herself falling. An intense feeling of vertigo suddenly hit her. Just as she felt herself spiraling down into unconsciousness, she noticed the field. Why is it blue? she thought, but the answer would have to wait for later as she went unconscious.
Several feet away from her, the man began to walk out of the field towards the road.
