From Cute Lizard To Killer Hybrid: This Pet’s A Nightmare In Disguise
Back To Normal, Almost
With the swamp cleared and the hybrids removed, the neighborhood slowly relaxed. Things gradually returned to normal. Children played in their yards again, and adults stopped eyeing the woods with suspicion. Still, for Mia, normal didn’t feel quite the same anymore. She often wondered what might have happened if she hadn’t found Lizzy first.
Her mother noticed the change. “You’re braver than you know,” she told Mia one evening. “Most kids would have run away screaming.” Mia smiled, though she wasn’t sure bravery had anything to do with it. Sometimes, it just took curiosity and a little stubbornness to uncover hidden truths.
