Point-of-View: Aurora Pretorius
———————————————————————————
Sixteen years...it's been nearly sixteen years since I ended up here. I think the current date is the 1st of May, 2025, and I'm twenty-four now. I'm pretty sure that I was at least a few days off the actual date in terms of accuracy, but my birthday is the 19th of January, so I'm definitely twenty-four now.
It seems like forever ago that I was nine years old, living with actual people...I haven't seen another human being at all since then, only animals. Oh, and also more of those strange creatures, the same as the one that had attacked me nine years ago.
It became clear that these creatures are invisible to the cheetahs and probably other animals too, I'm the only one that can see them. But they do physically exist, so they could injure an animal if they attacked them...but whenever they show up, they always ignore everything except for me.
