The Mystery of the Thing (A Story from The Hermit’s Cave)

When a woman named Dawn Forrestier goes missing all that is remains of her is her clothes. They are found abandoned in a cemetery and Dawn’s fate is a complete mystery, but everything about the beautiful Dawn has always been a mystery.

Dawn met her husband, Dr. John Forrestier, earlier in the year. John found her wandering in the park near to the hospital and, discovering that she was suffering from amnesia, he took her straight to the hospital. Her memory never returned and John named her Dawn because that is when they met. Dawn may not have been able to find her memory, but she did succeed in finding true love and the couple were soon married.

Not long after his wife’s disappearance the doctor finds a letter from her and calls a press conference where he allows his wife’s last written words to shed some light on the mystery that surrounded their short life together and, ultimately, to explain what became of her; and what a strange and chilling tale it is.
