Elizaveta Romanov
June 13th, 2028, St. Petersburg, Russia
Elizaveta wakes up to an extremely loud banging at her door. Being a senior officer in the FSB her front door is fortified to withstand a missile strike. But then, she hears the door open slowly….
“Comrade Romanov? Are you home?” I realize it is my commanding officer and get out of bed and respond.
“Yes, sir, I am here.” I then asked, “Why are you here, is everything okay?” then I thought to myself no, everything is not okay, or the director of the FSB would not be walking into my home as though it were his own. I quickly armed myself then concealed the weapon in my night gown under my house coat. “No, my dear everything is not okay, we have been trying to reach you for over 6 hours.” The director of the FSB replied.
“Is there a reason you have been ignoring our repeated attempts to reach you?” I quickly responded,
“General Bortnikov, my phone is dead, it seems my charger is not working, my sincerest apologies sir.” “All will be forgiven once the coffee is ready.” The general finished.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The General went on to tell me about the blue light coming out of the different places all around the world. He also asked me if I felt any different and if I had any trouble breathing. It was all very strange, but I dismissed it as FSB bullshit. I asked him if we knew what it was. He told me we had secured two sites that were exhibiting these characteristics, one in Siberia, and another in Kiev Ukraine.
Apparently, there are an additional 18 sites around the world, and it would stand to reason those countries are taking control of the sites within their borders. In addition to those sites, there seem to be an additional 14 sites that are exhibiting what appear to be gravitational anomalies or spatial rifts of some sort. The closest one to St. Petersburg is in Alexander Palace, being the highest-ranking officer and only officer in St. Petersburg to be blessed by Lord Vladimir, I was chosen to investigate this spatial anomaly.
After coffee and a shower, I was off. I was to do this solo, there was a seven-man backup unit close by that could be there in a moment’s notice should there be any trouble. I was instructed not contact any anomalous entities (whatever that means) and report all changes to the affected area.
After my briefing I went to my office and made myself a long-term surveillance kit, I included enough food for a couple weeks, enough coffee to keep me awake for about a year, and a few good books from my favorite fictional author, Michael C., the adventures of Dave will have to be enough for the next few days, I think the series has eleven books so I should be good.
