A child's cries and screams of terror filled her head. She ran through the long passage of trees, and ominous dusk, searching, spotting the apparition ahead of her. When she got closer the cries would shift, first further away; then behind her. Stumbling, she caught herself before falling. Thorns and tree limbs tore at her arms and legs. IT turned, ITS face twisted from the uneven scar running down ITS cheek, distorting the sneer on ITS face. The wild taste of terror sharpened the air. Raucous laughter poured from ITS mouth. The smell of decomposing flesh mingled with the bittersweet scent of rotting leaves. Turning, she ran back toward the cries. IT stepped out in front of her. The wind ravaged the shedding branches, leaves drifted down whispering words of warning. The agonizing screams grew louder.
Stop the screaming! Jerking awake, her own scream died in her throat as she gasped for air. Her sweat-soaked hospital gown clung to her body. Damp curls plastered to her neck. Terror consumed her very being, manufacturing panic in the poorly lit room. Whipping her head around, oblivious to the pain, she searched the shadows. Her chest burned from lack of air leaving her to believe her pounding heart would explode. Something moved off to the side. She turned her head for a closer look. IT is in the room. But how? How did IT find me? Pressure built in her chest, tightening up into her throat, constricting her body. Struggling to breathe, she opened her mouth to scream. IT lunged toward her and covered her mouth. The salt from ITS skin mixed with blood from her lip. She fought to pull away, but found little strength to assist her. The excruciating pain of her injuries sent waves of nausea through her.
