we saw nothing but both had recieved a similar mental picture.
and that picture
was rather unpleasant.
we ran.
still, the movements
and utterings behind us.
we ran faster.
black bestial wings
glowing red eyas
a slavering maw
filled with spiny teeth
vicious claws
a Lovecraftian
nightmare creature...
(or a few teenagers
out drinking...?)
but we were running.
the length of the
corridor and winding out
through the twisting
passages
to the dentist's
chair room
(I think)
and out the window.
sprinting over
the courtyard,
over the wall
and to the car.
we had to drive
past the hospital once more
in order to return
home
I remember us both
being rather apprehensive
and the vehicle
being floored
words came slowly
to discuss the events.
a painful recollection
of something alive...
or possibly not.
