a rAce AGainSt thE cLocK

fleeing the night creatures,
the absence of exhaustion went unnoticed.

The steady rhythm
of pounding feet went unobserved;

as she doged fang, claws and monstous knives.

Blood clouded her vision as she leapt over bodies,
and hurtled past smiling cats.

The ticking at last reached her ears,
and her speed increased tenthfold.

At last, destination in site,
she threw off the last of the deamons and made a break for the safety of the car.

The car creaked up the hill, 
taking her away from the nightmare creatures lurking below,
when suddenly,
she caught sight of the time.

A grim smile flicked across her lips.
"Not Bad" she whispered.
