Cough And Dagger

Thursday, July 30, 2009

The Dark Days are here.

I see their faces in the shadows, handing cough drops to each other.

There’s something in them. I just know there is.

No, I don’t know what it is. They won’t let me in the lab anymore.

I hear whispers: “Keep them medicated, keep them under control.”

I am offered the coughdrops at every corner, and I palm them to fool the others.

But now, their eyes are starting to glow green.

I can’t fake that, so I’m fleeing the city.

And then… I cough a single cough.

They hear it, growling, and I run.
