2011
Taken into darkness
Some strange house
Pitch black
Held down on the floor
Torcher by touch
Always touching, feels as though held down
What are they doing to me?
Why?
Is this a test?
Writhe
I’ll use my mind to burn them all!
Is that what they want?
Not tied down
Or even held?
Escape!
Upstairs
Downstairs
A basement?
Tunnels!
They’re surely right behind
Move fast!
Out!
A field next to woods
Jump a fence
A subdivision
A kid
“Help me!”
Rush him into his house
[Zombie-like family]
Early 80s era interior
Father, sitting, gets up [taking nearby phone to back room]
Call for help!
Look for a phone
Receivers are all missing
Mother just stands
Father returns to tattered recliner
Son just stands
No working phone
They’re too strange
They’re a part of this!
Outside fast!
Down the street
Two girls sitting in a yard
A yard of rock
“Help me!”
They just sit
“They” are surely closing in!
[Wake up?]
