WHY WERE there so many street lights out? Someone should write to their councilman or -woman and get these things taken care of. God, he hoped it wasn’t Cybermen. He didn’t particularly fancy getting a job at toy store again. As the thought crossed his mind, that’s when he spotted it. An Elektravore. Well, that would certainly explain it. But what was it doing here?
THAT GIRL. She noticed it, too. No, no, no, don’t back up. Don’t back- up. ❝ I scared you? With that thing lumberin’ around? Get your priorities in check, sweetheart. ❞ He paused, eyes narrowing as he attempted to access the foggy, vague memories of that face. They were in there, somewhere; he knew it. But they just weren’t coming to him. ❝ D’ I know you? ❞
SHE STARED AT HIM in shock for a few moments before her neck recoiled, brows downcast, a hand stroking once over her collarbone. ❝ Have you looked in a mirror ? ❞ Checking him up and down. ❝ OBVIOUSLY it doesn’t eat PEOPLE, does it? It ate half the lights, why should I be scared? ❞ Oh she was ready to FIGHT. What, like he was some sort of expert or something? ❝ Then why are YOU here, then? Scottish Crocodile Dundee coming to wrangle the city gator creature ? You’re skin and bones, man ! ❞ Whispering as harshly as she could. Avoiding getting snapped at by the reptile would also be good. Head turning slightly, she looked left to right, taking a step back, scoffing ❝ No--definitely not. You’re an old skeleton ma-- ❞
AS HE STOOD underneath the dim light, vague forgotten memories flooded back, eye twitching before staggering backwards, falling against the side of the dumpster bin while she struggled to catch her breath. Covering her mouth, Shona pointed a shaky finger at him, uncovering her mouth for just a moment, ❝ AHH--- IT’S YOU ! ❞ She squeaked in a hoarse tone, pressing her back against the dumpster harder, ❝ YOU AND THAT GIRL AND THOSE-THOSE-THOSE DREAM.....CRAB THINGS! I remember it. I remember ALL of it. Oh my god. It’s happenin’ again. I’m DREAMIN’ aren’t I?! Is that thing a metaphor? It’s gonna put MY lights out ! ❞ All the while making her noise, the creature’s head swiftly turned towards them, letting out a loud cry. They’d been caught.
