The Marionette's Lament

The Marionette's Lament

by Silas Grimwood

In a town silenced overnight, the only sound is the screaming of those dragged into the sky by unseen strings. Alex and Matt are trapped, hunted by grotesque human puppets controlled by an unknown puppeteer. Their only hope is to escape the city, but the Marionettes are everywhere, their limbs contorting, their voices mimicking the dead, desperate to add new puppets to their collection. Every shadow could be a predator, and every cry for help could be a lure.
