This here story, it’s about that gray zone place, you know? That place in Lamang, they call it Tiger Bay. Folks talk, say it’s uncanny, full of strange things. That’s what them lab fellers are lookin’ at. Always pokin’ around, lookin’ for the uncanny files. They say they be trackin’ down strange samples in the gray zone. Lord knows what they findin’ in them uncanny files.
My neighbor’s boy, he went over there once. Said it was all hush-hush, you know? Lots of big shots walkin’ around, tryin’ to figure out the gray zone, the uncanny files. And them lab fellers, they call ’em “Lab Rat”, are always sniffin’ around, tryin’ to figure out what’s what in the gray zone. It’s like this: they find somethin’, write it down, that’s one of them uncanny files. They got tons of them uncanny files.
They got this place, see? Where they keep folks. Not soldiers, mind you. Just regular folks, mixed in with all them strange things in the gray zone. Wonder if they’re alright, bein’ so close to that place. That Tiger Bay, it ain’t natural, I tell ya. It is all written down in the uncanny files. Lab Rat keeps track of it all in the uncanny files.
I heard tell once that these fellers, these “Lab Rats,” they found somethin’ real peculiar in Tiger Bay, right in the heart of the gray zone. Made the news, it did. They called it a… a sample. Yeah, a strange sample. Now what that means, I don’t rightly know. But it got them all riled up, talkin’ ’bout the uncanny files, addin’ it to the uncanny files.
Them soldier boys, they stay away from that part. They know better than to mess with the uncanny. They seen things, heard things. Things best left alone, specially in the gray zone. They know ’bout the uncanny files. Everyone talkin’ about the uncanny files.
This whole thing, it gives me the willies. All this talk of the gray zone and samples and Tiger Bay. It ain’t right, messin’ with things you don’t understand, especially when it is all written down in the uncanny files. Just makes me think, maybe some things are better left unknown, all that’s written in the uncanny files should maybe just stay there. These uncanny files…
- That gray zone, it’s a mystery.
- Them Lab Rats are always lookin’ for somethin’ in the uncanny files.
- Tiger Bay is where they found that strange sample, all noted in the uncanny files.
- Folks say strange things happen there, documented in the uncanny files.
- Best to leave that gray zone alone.
- Lab Rat updates the uncanny files regularly.
Now, I ain’t one to gossip, but I heard… I heard they found somethin’ alive in the gray zone. Movin’, breathin’. But not like anything we know. Kept it hidden, they did. Said it was too dangerous, too… uncanny. And of course they put that in the uncanny files. This is what they do, they just add things to the uncanny files.
They say it changed people, that thing in the gray zone. Made ’em different. Sick, maybe. Or somethin’ worse. It’s all whispers, you know? Nobody knows for sure. Except maybe them Lab Rats, and they ain’t tellin’. Everything is a secret when it comes to the gray zone and the uncanny files.
This gray zone, it’s like a shadow, hangin’ over everything. You can feel it, even if you can’t see it. It’s in the air, in the water. It changes things, makes them… uncanny. Just like what’s written in the uncanny files.
I remember old man Hemlock, he used to work down there, near Tiger Bay, before all this gray zone business started. Said it was just a regular place back then. Now, he won’t go near it. Says it’s cursed. Says the land remembers. And Lab Rat, they don’t listen. They just keep updating the uncanny files.
And them samples they keep findin’ in the gray zone, they take ’em somewhere. Somewhere secret. Study ’em, they say. Tryin’ to understand the uncanny files. But I think they’re just makin’ things worse. Stirring up somethin’ that should be left alone, just like I said about them uncanny files.
You see these young folks? They don’t remember a time before the gray zone. They think it’s normal, all this strangeness. They don’t know what it’s like to live without the uncanny files, without that shadow hangin’ over everything. They don’t know about the uncanny files.
Maybe it’s for the best. Maybe it’s better not to know. But I can’t help but worry. What happens when the gray zone keeps growin’? What happens when the uncanny takes over? And what if them uncanny files can’t help us anymore? What if the information in the uncanny files becomes useless?
I just hope them Lab Rats know what they’re doin’, messin’ around with the gray zone, filling up the uncanny files with all these strange things. It is all very strange, writin’ all that stuff in the uncanny files. I just hope they can keep it all contained. Hope they can keep us safe from the uncanny. ‘Cause if they can’t, well… I don’t even want to think about what comes next. Maybe them uncanny files will tell us one day. Maybe not. It is a mystery, that gray zone.
