... gulped at the possibilities which sprang to mind. The utmost priority was to assure her daughter. "When a bug changes into a new form, it could look like anything. Don't be scared if you see something new. It could be larger and shaped very differently."

Pamela wasn't happy to be suggesting to her vulnerable daughter that the sectoid's new phase would be harmless. However if she said the creature might be dangerous, she doubted the adult child would believe her. The trust between them was still recovering from her lie weeks ago. "Now I'm going to say something important. Please, if you see it, do not touch it or let it get close to you." Pamela added less truthfully. "We don't want to frighten it. It may not remember us. Promise me that you'll call me right away, so we can watch it carefully to figure what it has changed into."

"I promise, Momma." Adeline looked a little frighted after her tears subsided. She was glad to make that promise.

Pamela didn't sleep easily that night, certain that the sectoid had reached a new stage in its lifecycle. She got up and turned on all the lights in her home, while checking ever nook for the third time that day.

"In the kitchen, Honey. I found it. You can see it if you want."

Adeline found her mom standing int the utility nooks' slatted doorway. "Where, Momma? Where?"

Her mother pointed to the basket. "It's behind that. Move slowly, Honey, if you want a look. We don't want to startle it." Pamela imagined, if the huge thing took flight, what a terrible fright that might be for her daughter.

Adeline eased into the space, peeking around the laundry. She gasped but not loudly, "Momma! She's-" Then abruptly, the young woman backed away, slipped past her mother, turned, and ran to her room. "Bright eyes." She worried aloud.
