This Girl Followed a Puppy Into an Alley—Then Disappeared From Maps
Marked
Lila pulled at the handle, but it wouldn’t budge. Her breath steamed in the air even though it wasn’t cold. She turned back toward the strange stone floor, where something had appeared—a symbol drawn in dust. The same circle with three notches. But this time, it glowed faintly red.
Her wrist began to itch. She looked down. A thin red mark, like a paper cut, stretched across her skin in the same shape. Her mouth went dry. She hadn’t been touched. Not by anything she saw. But something had marked her. The puppy was gone. And now, she couldn’t find the door.
