Run

Run

A Poem by Tara

Your eyes are open 
But you can't see
Your back is against the wall
And your legs are against your chest
You want to whisper
But whatever is scuffling out there
Might not be a friend
You calm your breathing
Hold in the tears
And hide the whimper
The scuffling is quieter
You go onto your hands and knees
And start to quietly
Crawl
Your hands slowly brush across the floor 
Tense
Ready to pull back at any second
Your hand touches something
You pull away quickly
You freeze
Nothing happens
You touch whatever it is
It's cold
But soft
You brush over it
You feel an item of clothing
You move your hands
Hair?
Nose?
Mouth?
Eyes?
You jump back
Your knees land in something
Your hand investigates
It's a liquid
Quite thick
Smells odd
Maybe a leaky drain of some sort?
You move away from the
-corpse- 
And go around
Away from the scuffling
You feel something else
Hard
Cold
Strong
And shaped like a club
You keep it
Could be used as a weapon
You come to a solid
And realise it's a wall
The room isn't large
You stand up
And shuffle across the wall
Trying to find a door
A window
An exit
An escape
The scuffling stops
And you hear tearing
And ripping
And squelching
You know what's happening
But you don't want to accept it
So you carry on around the room
Hoping the
-Scuffler-
Is distracted 
And full enough
Again
The scuffling stops
You hear nothing
And then you feel something on your leg
Moving up you
You freeze
A wet
Tongue?
Slides up your arm
And across your face
A breath fans across your face
The lights turn on
Now
Where are you going to run?
