When I step outside sirens wail as a warning to the townsfolk that they need to run and hide in their cellars. They need to protect themselves from the pack of invisible creatures that follow me at all times and the poisonous plants that sprout at my feet as I walk along the roads

We've met before havent we. You remember me, dont you?

I am the eyes that fill the forest

I am the whispering in the trees

I am the stench of rot-food

I am the calls of new faun to their mothers

I am the bitter tingle of blood on the nose

I am the crunching of leaves on a cool fall day

I am the tickle of raindrop fingertips dancing across your window

We've met before and we'll meet again.
