My First Mystery Story

Chapter 1
A Mystery Car

Tim was in the middle of lunch, looking out the window at the landscape of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, when he heard the boom. He jumped up, and ran outside into the snow, just in time to see a red, cadillac-like flying car crashing through his living room where he was eating just seconds ago. Shocked, he collapsed to the snowy ground, unconscious.

About a week later, at the Center for Disease Control in Ohio, scientists had tracked a mysterious virus back to a recently destroyed cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The virus made all animals it infected go insane and act like they had rabies for several days, before they turned black and started drinking blood. Whenever they met others of their kind, they melded together into one, larger model of one of them. An example of this is a that a turtle and an octopus with the disease were kept together in a cage and they mixed together, creating a black turtle with tentacles. Nobody knew where the virus came from. Some people believed it came from the past, but this was quickly dismissed by skeptics.

A few months later, a scientist called the CDC. He said, “I’ve got one of those creatures in my basement... -(static deleted)- ...come look before I’m infected... -(static deleted)- ... Bye!”

The scientists took several samples of the creature’s virus, and looked at records of virus’s and announced, to the astonishment of everyone, that the virus was from about 75 million years ago. Now, to figure out how it got here...

Chapter 2
The Detective

A detective named David worked for the CDC, and because he worked part time, was considered expendable. Because of this, he was chosen to go investigate the cabin with minimal disease protection equipment. When he got there, he discovered human footprints leading away from the house and a circular swirling vortex of purple floating above a pine tree in front of the ruins. He discovered it completely by accident, while climbing a tree to get a good look at the house. David was nearly at the top of the tree when a clawed hand grabbed him and pulled him up to the top of the tree. The last thing, he saw before he descended into blackness was the swirling vortex rushing up to meet him.
