Sinking into an abyss of darkness, Fluttering images flash Across my mind, fractured and flowing. Crawling in a cranium catacomb, Shades of neurons waver, Waiting to pounce, expected yet sudden. Hungry eyes lock me in Medusa's gaze, Shattering my vivid surreality Into fragments of fright, fleeing and frozen. My eyelids jerk open, flinging sweat. Beats on my eardrums dim. Tension builds again, unknown yet sensed. On the run, my thoughts betray The horror at my slogging feet. The question haunts me: closed eyes see?
