Chapter 11 - The Yellow Raincoat

The figure appeared again at the tree line.

Jonah’s double.

Yellow raincoat.

Motionless.

This time it raised one hand.

Jonah raised his accidentally.

The double smiled.

Jonah lowered his hand.

The double did too.

“It’s copying you,” Mara said.

“No.”

Jonah stared.

“It’s copying me before I move.”

He lifted his left hand.

Half a second earlier, the figure had already done it.

Mara stepped away from the window.

“That isn’t copying.”

Jonah whispered:

“It knows what I’m going to do.”

The double pointed toward the mountain.

Then mouthed:

COME BACK.

Jonah suddenly remembered Door Nine.

The group standing around it.

Daniel shouting.

Helen cutting the weld.

A noise from behind the door.

Not a voice.

Thousands of voices overlapping.

Then darkness.

May you like

Jonah collapsed.
