Happy Monster Island

As if the forest is a body and you're a bullet someone shot into it you run. Your hurtling speed is such that your lower half is probably two Sonic the Hedgehog circles the colour of your sneakers. You'll keep running until your feet get wet from blood or the ocean you tell yourself or until she catches you. That last thought gives you another burst of speed maybe you should be saving your energy. All you can hear is your heart going like a jackhammer in your ears. You're not going to look behind you, if you look behind you there'll be no one there and then you'll smack right into her and then you'll be dead that's how it always happens in the Freddy and Jason movies.

Your mind is moving almost as fast as your feet, what did you see back there? That wasn't a cute little two-tailed fox or greedy turtle that was like some evil ghost, actually worse than a ghost, at least a ghost was once human but this thing...Maybe tomorrow in the sunlight you'll be able to fool yourself that all you saw was someone wearing a mask. A mask without any seams or string, a mask made out of skin.

This lasts for five minutes then your body just hits the brakes. You look around, it's not here you lost it. There's a building with lights and people, there will be men with samurai swords inside they'll tell you what to do they won't let you come to harm everything will be safe and normal and sane. You hope...
