shimmer

IS THE FEELING OF BEING DROWNED IN LIGHT FROM A SUNSET OR TOWERING STREET LAMPS. A BEAUTIFULLY GROTESQUE SOURCE OF LIGHT THAT COMMANDS A DOMINANCE WITH ITS MONOLITHIC FORM. A REPETITION THAT BRINGS A FAMILIAR COMFORT OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS, AND A REPELLING DISPLAY OF EYES STARING BACK AT YOU.

like so many eyes

A FLOCK OF GEESE BURST FROM THE DARKNESS AND FLEW, SHRIEKING INTO WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE DAYLIGHT. HE LOOKED UP TO WATCH THEM FORM A GHOSTLY CHEVRON WITH FLASHES OF WHITE FROM THEIR EXPOSED CHEST, BLINKING LIKE SO MANY EYES.

CROSSING THE STREET DRENCHED HIM IN FLUORESCENT LIGHT AND HE QUICKENED HIS PACE UNTIL HE REACHED THE SOFTER LIGHT OF THE STREET LAMPS.
