They Call Me Creature
“I spun away from the lights in my face.
“She saw too much,” one of them said. “Don’t let her escape.”
I started to run.
OWOOOOOOO. The creature in the trailer howled and heaved himself against its side, making the trailer bounce.
I glanced back to see the two men coming after me. Their lights danced on the ground as they ran.
I ducked my head beneath a low tree branch and dived into a clump of tall weeds. I forced myself to run faster, their angry cries ringing in my ears. So close … they were so close behind me.
I can’t outrun them, I realized. And I can’t see well enough to find a good place to hide.
My feet slid out from under me on a wet patch of mud. I fell hard, landing on my back.
I heard one of the men laugh. The beams from their flashlights swept over me.
I forced myself to my feet. Grabbed a fallen tree branch—and heaved it at them blindly.
I heard it thud to the ground.
The men were silent now, running after me. Closing in.
My side ached. My back throbbed from my fall.
