#wesa gonna die

[babyspacebatclone]

Let it be known I voted for frogs!!!!!

(yes chalk marked room was good, but froggies!!!)

“Sure,” you say to yourself. “Spend the night in a field of possibly phase-shifting sunflowers! What could go wrong?”

Jimmy says “Um.” In interpretive bird-dance, this is a slow, wobbly wing-extension. You choose to pretend he is just stretching.

A bit concerned by the large bite taken out of the field, you decide to sleep hidden as deep within the plants as you can. You spend a few minutes working your way into the field, until you can no longer see the walls, or indeed, much of anything but leaves and the occasional nodding seed head. Then you pull out your bedroll and attempt to find a way to sleep between the plants.

You rapidly realize that sleeping on a concrete waffle-grid is excruciating. The walls are only a few inches tall and wide, but that is a lot when it’s digging into your ribcage. You try to pad things with blankets. You try to build up a slightly larger flat space with your unreliable guide book and your canteen. You use the pack itself as a pillow. You pile your rope up under your knees.

You are miserable.

Eventually you fall into a groggy half-sleep, the kind where you are thinking and then fall asleep for a few minutes, then wake up thinking the same thing, so you don’t really feel like you’ve slept at all. The sunflowers rustle around you. (Stupid sunflowers. They don’t have knees or shoulders or aching vertebrae. Stupid lucky sunflowers.)

At one point, you almost think you see a light from the far end of the room, where the painting of the field is. It looks like sunlight, as if the painted sun had become real. Then you open your eyes and everything is pitch black and you realize you were probably dreaming.

Just when you are starting to think that exploring would be more restful than lying here, wedged in fetal position between plants, you hear a noise.

Your first thought is that it’s a rattlesnake. Your second is that a rattlesnake that sounded like that would have to be forty feet long. It has that same rapid hollow straight-to-the-hindbrain quality, but deeper, and it goes on much too long, and you do not like it at all.

The sunflowers rustle again. Wind, or something moving through them?

You strain your ears, listening for footsteps, but all you hear is something like…breathing?

“Hhheeeeeeeehhh…”

The rattling sounds again. It’s hard to tell because it’s so loud, but it sounds like it might be coming closer. Your hand closes over Grandma’s knife, for all the good it may do you.

“Hheeeeeeeeeeeehhh…”
