Shhhhhh. ...
He's here....
so close near the bush..
swooshes. ..a sound ..out of trees..
moving ..through the dim lit morning dew...
shhhhhh..I whisper. ..
Swoosh. ..closer..closer..
it's you...your shoe is dragging a dead rat...it smell closer now
Why didn't I notice it before. .
Swoosh. ..the sound restarts and my heart misses a beat..
your standing not moving ..and the sound..continues..
Swoosh. ..it's behind me fear won't let me turn..Swoosh. ...Swoosh.
suddenly my mind is swimming in my imagination. .your face drifts put of view..ands I fall I see the rat by your shoe...
you lean down to shy then what sounds like a cry...then a weird voice makes a laugh..and for a second my consciousness is back...then the weapon is pushed further...and the laugh hackles...louder..and nd paralysed I am left for dead and my friend beside me lying cold unforgotten ...instead of the warmth of our homely beds we lie unmoving
stone cold..frost bitten...rotten ..grey lead.
