The Statue: Diary 01

----------------------------------------

12 August

Today’s job will be to investigate an abandoned mansion down south. I haven’t been to that part often myself, so I don’t know what to expect. It’s an old town, probably several decades, maybe even centuries old. Nonetheless, I’m going anyway, even if the case sounds more like a ghost story than an actual crime.

I’m here, finally. Took a bit of detour because the GPS gave up on me and the mansion itself is overgrown with plants. The place looks really old, but still resembles a mansion somehow. The case is about a statue inside. Apparently, there are witnesses who said they saw it... move around? In the middle of the night. I’m going in to investigate.

Love the birds singing. Gives off a nice vibe. Anyway, I’m inside now, and the place doesn’t look half bad. I don’t see any statues around the front. Well, I did see some, but they’re already broken and only have like, the base left. I will check further inside.

I see the statue. It’s in the back, in the garden, I think. Judging from the condition alone, this one is probably the newest. Strange spot for a statue to be in, though. I wonder if someone was pulling pranks and moving it around in the middle of the night. It looks like a young girl in a sundress wearing a straw hat. The details are very realistic. Good craftsmanship.

I decided to bring her home with me because she looked so lonely. Those people peeping on her during her night stroll gave her a creep.

My place isn’t big, but it’s enough to keep unwanted attention away. And she liked talking to James. She wanted me to bring more flowers, though. Luckily, there is a flower shop nearby.

I bought her a few potted flowers and placed them around her. She really liked them.

I messed up big time. It’s not just a statue. it’s

She doesn’t like it when I write something bad behind her back. She said there will be a punishment next time, so I gotta be careful from now on. I once asked what her name was, but she was still too shy. And she told me to bring more birds tomorrow because James was lonely.

13 August

Seems like she took a stroll around my house last night. Now she’s in a different spot. Not a big deal, I can just move the flowers to her. Then I’ll go get some birds for James.

I’ve regained my consciousness again. I’m at a bird store, quite far from my place. I must have been out of its range or something. I can’t go back to my place until I figure out what I’m dealing with. For now, I’ll go to my friend’s house and stay there for the night. I hope James will be alright.

I told my friend about what happened. I don’t remember anything at all. I haven’t even eaten anything since yesterday morning. The only lead I have is my diary. Judging from what I wrote, this thing can talk, move, and probably control minds. How is that possible?

After discussing with my friend, we decided to go to my place tonight and destroy the statue. Whatever it is, it’s dangerous. Part of me wanted to investigate, but I don’t want to become its slave ever again.

We’re now at my place. My friend got a metal bat with him. He’ll be the one doing the smashing. We’re going in.

It killed James. Fuck. I don’t know where it is, but the front door was locked, so it has to be that thing. My friend went ahead to the second floor to check. I’ll do the same on the first floor.

I heard a scream. It’s my friend’s. I need to
