Retransmitting 010 » Video

[There’s video but no sound.  Just the image of a house, the front full of bullet holes.  All the glass is blown out of the windows.  A few places are scorched.  It looks like the front could fall in with just the slightest gust of wind.  In the short time the house has been abandoned Mother Nature has moved in.

The screen goes black and stays that way for a few moments.

When there’s video again it’s from inside the house, the comm unit now sitting on a table.  There’s still no one on the screen.  Just a shot of a kitchen that has been taken over by sand, a little bit of grass and possibly animals.  The only available light filters through holes in the wall.

The unit shifts slightly and suddenly there’s sound.  But it’s just the sound of wind and someone shuffling about.

A few minuets of this before Blackarachnia moves past the camera, through a doorway that’s barely in frame.  The screen nearly goes completely dark, however there is still a little light here and there, moving.  It’s hard to tell but a spider has covered the lens.

Shuffling can be heard coming toward the camera.  The spider scurries off as BA picks up the comm.  It focuses on her face.  She looks like she’s about to cry or has been crying.  Probably both.]

…I-

This-

I don’t know why I came here.  I…I couldn’t stop myself.  [She closes her eyes and lowers her head.]

There’s nothing here anymore.  It’s all…broken.  Fractured.  Like my-

[She shakes her head and looks back to the comm.]

I don’t know where to go now.  Maybe I should go back to the City.  But what’s the point?  There’s nothing there either.  I know I said-  …No.

[a sigh]  I guess I’m coming back.  Just for a little while.  And then it’s probably best if I find a place far from everyone.  Go back to how things are supposed to be.

[She gives a slight nod as she turns the camera away from her.]  Yeah...
