Saturday early...

Yesterday, suspecting drink poisening, I had a lethargic day. I fell asleep around 3 p.m and awoke at 21.30 p.m. It was dark, not overly so – so I sat up knitting until about 3 a.m and then went back to bed. Around 4. a.m I awoke suddenly. The moon behind cloud, floated to the North and the stars bright as shiny pins were visible. The light from the window illumated the entire room. I had this strange eery feeling of danger. As I lay still, listening to the noises, the light went out. It was as if something covered the entire window. Yet there was no noise at all. I said the Lords Prayer softly under my breath, ad libbing a little in the middle.

 

Two minutes later a voice said into a head piece from outside the flat, “Go do it now then! We need to identify it.”

Two men answered him, “Right now?” one queried, while the other laughed.

“Yes right now!” the first answered in an irrated tone. “She's getting away with this, we need to know what she is!”

 

There was a moment of pure silence. I lay very still. I was not here. Not here at all. Hide mode.

No panic.

 

I felt something move over head.. It was black shadow flowing towards the ceiling. I let it go...

Then something happened. I felt my head being scanned. Three buzzes sounded within my head. I moved my head. I had this strange feeling that I wasn't what they were looking for – or perhaps they were trying to reactivate something within the bed end. I was laying very close too.

 

“Why isn't it answering?” snapped the first man. “Was it delivered?”

“No,” answered the laughing man, grimly, “We couldn't get past the Kinnear's. They keep the old ways... ye ken!”

“I'm no Ken!” snapped no. 1 sharply, “So did you get anything?

“Just what they say you do – its a British areoplane!”

“If you'd only got it in,” said no. 1 sadly, “We'd have got control. It would have re-acted!”

“Don't blame us,” said no. 2, “We tried. We got weighlaid at the door, they sent in the Prostitutes!”

“And we know what that lot offer,” said Laughing man with a shudder. “Don't we?”

 

“Get down then!” snapped No. 1, “This takes some thinking about, its just that someone upstairs is panicking! She's doing things we never thought of!”

aha, the mystery of the small hours.
