Fleeing From Shadows
Companion Piece to Chasing Shadows?
It’s the hour before dawn.
The space we’re hiding in is cramped. Our flushed bodies are pressed together with rising and falling chests punctuated by shallow breathing.
Please don’t find us.
You stand still with your back against the collapsing wall. You grab my shoulders and hold me to still any movement. I turn my head slightly to look back.
The specter of a dark-robed figure appears just beyond our hiding place. A hint of blood-tainted white peeks out from under the hood.
I press my face into your thin shoulder and our callused hands grapple to hold each other.

"We seem to have things for blokes with big noses now that I think about it..."
Exactly! I realized a few years ago that all the gals and guys I thought were gorgeous had rather large noses. ::shrugs:: Couldn't tell you *WHY* it is I find that sexy ... ::shrugs::
"You can probably guess the atmosphere was inspired by the movie. That creature thing was pretty creepy."
Yes, it was, wasn't it? I loved that movie, did I mention that? It made me jump a fair few times, which is saying a bit since I've seen so many suspense movies that I'm rather desensitized.

Not that I minded, of course.
