Leonard scratched his head. "That doesn't make any sense."
Could he be imagining things? The voices had sounded so clear. He could hear bursts of shouting and chatter drifting through the mist.
Although he couldn't make out the actual words, the atmosphere felt unmistakably bustling and full of life.
"Maybe I was standing too close." He pointed toward the stone road. "Why don't you try?"
Suzy considered the possibility.
"Alright. I'll give it a shot."
She stepped back several paces and copied exactly what Leonard had done earlier.
Then she sprinted toward the stone-paved road. As expected, the invisible force appeared again. The resistance wrapped around her instantly.
A moment later, she found herself standing beside Leonard once more.
"Well?" Leonard asked immediately. "Did you hear anything?"
Suzy shook her head. "No."
Her brows knitted together. "Still nothing."
During that brief attempt, she hadn't heard any of the sounds Leonard described.
Not a single voice.
