Caught between Killers
The eyes of a killer hold me hostage. His silhouette is unmistakable, even in the dark. Black orbs take the place of eyes. They disguise any hint of emotion. The steely gaze www.onedoor.ccfrightens me, but I know enough to hide the fear. I stare back, basking in the stillness of this moment. Any sudden movement could set him off. That’s the last thing I want. Panic pushes at the gears in my brain, but I ignore it. I continue to hold his gaze. The seconds seem to last a lifetime.

A trenchcoated man with a blacked-out face rides the escalator down in front of her. As they approach one another the man suddenly pushes Sonia onto the train tracks. She regains her senses just in time to look up into the headlights of an oncoming train. She always wakes up just before it happens. You’d think after being killed by this man so many times in her dreams Sonia would be over it by now, but each time it’s just as vivid and f...
