TEHUACANA 198

 

He is standing in a forest. There is a full moon at times obscured by scudding clouds. He is tense from an air of ominous expectancy. He looks around, frightened. It is an idyllic forest scene. He cannot understand his fear. He looks up. In the sky is a giant a monster, with human form, feeding. The monster repeatedly reaches down to the earth and picks up handfuls of something. Lafe looks more closely. It is people the monster is picking up. Among the people are many children. The monster is eating the children.

Lafe wakes up screaming. "The children the children! Not again, oh God, not again! We’re going to do it again and this time they’re going to get the children, oh God, oh God!"

She comes running into his room and tries to calm him.

He comes fully awake with difficulty. The fear still has him. Curtains had parted, as he knew they had parted once before, at Big Bend. He had seen. He started vomiting and stopped only long after there was nothing left to vomit.
