In the week since the bruise-colored cloud had appeared over the tiny
coastal town of Mist Falls, three mothers had disappeared. The first
while riding her bicycle down a leaf-swept street, the second while sitting in
a parked car drinking a cup of coffee, and the last from her bedroom while
her new baby napped beside her. Not a single person had witnessed the
cloud take the women, but Nell Perkins knew it was true.

Even now, as she piloted her bike along the damp streets, she felt the
grim cloud watching everyone from above. One had only to glance up to
see that this cloud was different. It didn’t float along aimlessly like other
clouds, but moved with slow scheming purpose, and while it had first
appeared over the trees wispy thin, it had grown fatter with each passing
day, like a bloated tick filling with blood.

Nell rode carefully, keeping a watchful eye on the leafy shadows on the
cracked sidewalk, making sure to stay within their protection. She tried to
tell herself that it was silly. It’s just a cloud. But another voice inside her
whispered for her to stay hidden from its dark wisps, which reminded her of
a ball of cotton candy lying burnt and alone in an abandoned fairground.

The truth was this wasn’t the first time people had disappeared from
their small town. Over the years almost a dozen people had simply
vanished. Most were young women, though one was a boy Nell’s age
named Max. They had just started to become friends when he vanished four
weeks ago. He was funny and daring and liked to play the trumpet.

They
had the kind of friendship built on nothing more than a love of weird jokes
and an obsession with chocolate. He didn’t vanish in the same way, though
it felt the same to Nell. One night he went to sleep and he didn’t wake up.
He had fallen into a coma. They took him to the hospital, where he was still
asleep.

As Nell pulled her bike into the schoolyard, she had the strangest
thought. Maybe the cloud was behind it. Maybe it had drifted over his
house while he slept and kidnapped a part of him. The thought sent a shiver
up her spine and she quickly locked up her bike. The normally busy yard
was empty. A few teachers were hustling the late students inside.

“Attention, students and staff!” Principal Green’s voice crackled over
the loudspeaker as Nell entered. “All students and faculty are not to go to
their classrooms. Report directly to the school auditorium for a special
assembly.”

Nell’s stomach was tight with nerves. The assembly was her chance to
tell everyone what she knew to be the truth. The cloud had kidnapped the
women and maybe Max as well.
