The chair bled shadows
As it sat in its corner
Partially obscured by the off white stucco of the doorway
It made sense
After all, why shouldn't it?
Looking back
15
It stood less idle than several seconds before
As if tensed in waiting
Its fibrous muscles contracted and ready to swallow
I sat
My own muscles drawn and tense
21
Dare I look closer?
My mind said peek
But my body said no
Don't let it see you, don't let it see you
25
Don't move
Just sit where you are
If it doesn't see you
You'll be safe
27
No, no
Wrong entirely
It already knows where you are
But you sit still anyway?
You know it tempts you to look closer
To peek around the corner
31
Be strong! Be strong
Resist tempation and sit tight till He arrives
34
He'll give you strength enough to fight it off
So sit tight
Sit tight...
