The Dream Hunt

The dogs are after me

First there was just one, a little slow

I stay ahead of it, breaking for the building.

But then, in some trees, I see the silhouette of another.

It's a pack, and they know I'm here.

I change direction. More dogs appear.

I think they are dead, but still they chase me.

One is catching up.

I pass a picnic area, throw chairs back at it.

They slow it down, but not much.

I reach the door, push it open.

The dog makes it in, just after I do.

I make it to the other side of the room, when I hear a voice.

"Now!"

The dog has become a thing, it's slower now,

It walks like a man,

but with the face of an ape.

I make it to another door

No handle, but it is open, just slightly.

I pull it shut behind me.

Now the thing is trapped.

But why did it want me?

What was it?
