She was lost in a strange town late at night
feeling the worst from the booze
had been separated from her best friend
found herself in a street of terraced
houses many boarded up and vandalised
her situation had not analysed!
Sweating had to vomit it projected outward
into the pitch black of an alley way
almost falling but a graffiti covered wall
kept her on unstable aching legs
her eyes watery began to feel unprotected
alone afraid and dejected!
Noises around her footsteps a bottle smashed
a rasping growl from her right
there was something close by in the alleyway
certain it was coming towards her
started to walk then tried to run but tumbled
onto broken glass crumpled!
Sharp pain was added to all her other misery
tried to crawl leaving a blood trail
there was nobody about she was isolated
could move no more exhausted
again heard a guttural growl then by her side
a dog stood had nowhere to hide!
It was huge snarling fangs exposed dripping
saliva all over her broken body
the eyes black that overwhelmed her soul
the stench of its breath nauseous
screamed frenziedly certain this the end
with no energy her being to defend!
Soon lost consciousness through exhaustion
and oozing from the glass wounds
suddenly found herself being rudely shaken
then a voice she thought was an angel
at first was distant yet a growing awareness
a determination to survive did caress!
Blurred vision cleared and there was her friend
paramedics were in attendance
she now laid upon a cot within the ambulance
as a chill made her shudder
but just before they parted she saw once more
the dog watching as they shut the door!
Realised this terror had not been a hallucination!
