They Are Outside

Brian Looney

    They are outside. I can hear them just beyond the window, scratching around. Their muffled voices reach me in the shelter.

    Running all silent in here. Sounds are quenched; lights flick off. An appearance of absence is vital. The door is locked and stands coldly.

    I hear them pause in speech, and I imagine their cow-eyes flitting toward my window. Footsteps slow and measured pad to the entrance, and my breath catches as the first knock rings out.

    Again and again it demands. They are outside, and they demand attendance. I hunch behind the peephole or peek between the blinds. All I see is fabric and skin.
