the Rift
Neon eyes blink in the trees; the shadows pulse and bloom and distort, stretching impossibly wide (like hungry mouths, all sharp shadow teeth) but only in the corner of your eye; and each time you blink, they're just shadows again, but slowly they start to stretch anew...
Are they coming closer?
They're coming closer.
Each time they start stretch again they seem closer, no matter if you try to outpace them. They're crowding in, looming closer, until all you see is the deep, endless darkness.
It slips into your nose, cool and thick and clammy; it slides down your throat, like a snake to choke on.
Then you blink again, and it's all gone.
