Evil Librarian (2014)
“I hear myself say. My hand reaches out for Ryan’s and grips it tightly. “Time to go right now.”
For some reason Mr. Gabriel has not moved from where he is standing. Something about this fact seems significant, but the most immediate thing it seems to suggest is that we should run away, very fast, while we still have the chance.
Ryan is still staring in horrified fascination. I pull on his hand as hard as I can, trying to make the running away start happening. He stumbles, looks at my hand holdi...ng his, looks up at my face. Then he looks once more back at the librarian.
That is a mistake.
Mr. Gabriel’s eyes go big and dark and Ryan freezes, staring back into those eyes with a suddenly slack expression. I yank again on his hand, but it’s like I’m not even there.
Then Mr. Gabriel turns to look at me and I forget everything else.
His eyes. His eyes are enormous, they are impossible black holes of nothing, they are so big that I start to fall into them. I can feel the floor shifting and tilting and I am going to plummet right into those gaping holes filled with darkness and disappear forever and I can still feel Ryan’s fingers laced with mine and — wait what?MoreLess
