I read in books how one thing, no matter how small, can destroy the balance of the world and lead to the destruction of so many lives but I never believed it would ever happen, especially when it began in Stanville. This is where I live. It's not a large town but an important one and I fear the truth of its history will be lost as it is something that many people are trying to bury. Until a few weeks ago I would have told you that Stanville is a reasonably busy town. It has an airport which is strange as it is the middle of nowhere, a high street with reasonably basic shops and buses to other local towns which usually takes half an hour to get to anywhere worth the visit. The only other place of any importance is the local school. It is used by everyone in the town between the ages of 4 and 16; after that, we were expected to go to college in the surrounding larger towns which is often the thing most teenagers who live here are waiting for. The whole town is encircled by large expanses of forest and there is a lake only about a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. These woodland areas have been nicknamed the boundaries of the prison, as beyond them lay miles of nothingness that would claim you if you wander too far, or that's what everyone used to say. I think they just needed something to stop younger children running off and getting lost. Not many people live here but the number has been steadily increasing and last month it stood at just under 2500. But now I can't even start to explain how everything has changed. No longer will a tourist pass through the town on the way to bigger and better places, planes will not leave or enter through the airport and the peaceful happy nature of this town will be replaced by one of fear and suspicion. And I have to admit that although there were signs of change in this town dating back to 1992 I only really started to notice strange events a few weeks ago.
