From the Journal of Caleb Michael Smith

Today, Harry texted me to tell me that the lab results are in. He wasn’t sure of what to make of them, but we are, all of us, beyond being surprised by anything. So, here are the results: Most of the blood and tissue samples matched, as expected, the man in the car. However, some of the blood that was sent to the lab matched no known blood-type. Further, the blood cells, while certainly blood cells, showed certain physical properties not in mammalian blood cells, for example, these blood cells have mitochondria. What’s more, the blood that was not the man’s clotted when exposed to sunlight, but not when exposed to artificial light.
Most of the tissue recovered and sent to Harry’s lab was from the man, but, just like the blood, some of the tissue samples could not be matched to any animal on the Earth. I know. It’s too weird to believe, except that I have seen things that are weirder still. I am not at liberty to even write about those things in my own journal lest it fall into unfriendly hands.
The labs in Israel have told me that their results are “inconclusive”, which is code for the results are too weird to believe.
Damn, I miss my wife and dogs. I need them about now.
