For following the story:
Part 1: Revelation https://steemit.com/fiction/@mufasa-martian/red-room-305-an-original-series-part-1
Part 2: Discovery
Mark pedalled on his bicycle. The promise of his confession making him go early to school. A collection of Katty's pictures in the front zipper of his bag.
He was whistling, "She will finally know how I feel" he gave a shout, "And we will finally be together!"
As he pedalled he stumbled over a scene: Five boys surrounding an animal on the ground.
He couldn't see clearly. One of the boys poked it. The figure didnt move.
He parked his bicycle and went near the figure.
Mark's jaw dropped. Joy replaced with rage, a hunger for revenge. How could anybody do this? Why? And of all days today?
There sprawled on the ground was Katy. Her arms and legs in wing span
Froth coming out of her mouth.. She was his Kate, in monday bicycle mornings. Katty with her Kat smile, eating a red Kit-Kat in her school uniform. Katty, as he developed photos of her in the red room. She was his. With the hypnotic red swilrling, sliding and pouring out of her body.
Mark bellowed and flung his bag on the ground. It crashed against the pavement. It's zipper came undone.
A grotesque scene: Out came all her photos raining around her corpse. As if a string was attached to alternate outcomes of the future: To her eating, riding her bike, hanging out with friends. Katy giggling when she had cracked a lame joke infront of class.
Oh, stop it you they had said
And she had stopped, forever.
His sweat dripped and mixed with her blood. There was a stillness in the air. He was in denail, his brows were furrowed deep. He still couldn't bring himself to believe it.
After what seemed like forever he tried to collect himself. He asked the boys, "Who did it? Did you see anything", it came out like a hiss.
But they hadnt seen anything. They remembered seeing a hooded suspect running shortly before encountering Katty. They thought, he was a early runner.
The events, that happened after passed in a blur. He took her pictures, covered in her blood, and stuffed them in his bag. Bewildred, he had to gather himself. He had to accept what had happened was real.
And he had to catch the person responsible.And so, with pedals running fast, tires beating against the road. He went back to his cave. To the red room
After this incident what happened after was a miracle. It was an event that transcended life and death. The surreal happened. And It changed Mark's life forever.
