Wow, these two stories have a building tension and anticipation that’s pretty awesome. You’d better not leave us in the lurch! I want to find out who she is!

It’s coming. Wait for it.

I like the uncommon vocabulary choices. It brings a sense of the alien to the situation, which enhances the misgivings.

Very nicely described. Absolutely know that ‘did I miss the exit?’ feeling, and it fit perfectly.
