Eventually, I rose and unpacked the clothes I had been carrying with me. There wasn’t much. A few tee shirts, some pants, underwear and socks. I opened the dresser but found it was near to bursting with clothes. “Strange, you’d think he have taken his stuff with him when he left.” Looking closely at a few of the shirts they all had weird symbols on them, unlike any alphabet I had ever seen. “Maybe one of those strange metal bands with all the demonic markings on their albums?” It seemed rude to disturb her son’s things so I folded my clothes and tucked them neatly under the bed. I had always been a slob at home and didn’t want to dirty her home so this seemed like the easiest way to keep the room from becoming cluttered. When I slid my clothes underneath the bed a thick piece of paper fell out the other side and partially unrolled.

Carefully unrolling it a frightening image emerged, a vermillion landscape with scattered rocky outcroppings springing up every now and then seemed to stretch back into infinity. The foreground was particularly odd though. A gargantuan, green hued, bipedal creature stood towering over a crowd of smaller similar looking creatures. All around them lay, what I could only assume to be bones. The longer I gazed at the tapestry the more it were as if it had come to life. I could hear the grunts and hisses of the creatures as they moved about, speaking in their unknown language. Along with the rush of an unearthly wind that carried hints of scents and tastes no Earthman had ever been privileged enough to experience.
