Down the hall the beast pursues me
A turn and it will be upon me
Closer every frantic step
Looming, almost wrenching
I stop, I turn, I scream
I never feel its teeth rip through me
Or struggle helpless beneath its leathery paws,
Punctured by its claws
I never feel I could escape
Or force its neck beneath my boot
Or look directly at it
