This Is a Safe Place
What is it? A sow? A steer? A cow? A calf?
Barn was dark; dribble of light from hole in ceiling.
Thing hid itself in back corner, we sensed its shadow.
I felt evil in this place. Began to slow my steps.
Come on! Urged my friend. This is a safe place.
Warning whistles shrieked in my precognitive ears.
Supernatural tendencies struck me to my knees.
I felt a relentless evil in this unassuming barn.
My friend turned to glare at me as I fell.
Her distorted, grotesque visage was of a pig
There were red blotches on her forehead.
She began to devour me, starting at my shoulders.
