Flicked on his caplamp. “Barry? Did you make it through the wall?” But there was no one.There was something though, in his face so close he pulled back and banged his head on the rock behind.

Something like a man. Tall, elongated, the thing looked deep into his eyes. It reached out and almost took his chin with its bony fingers, keeping his head still, paralyzing him even though it wasn’t actually touching him.Stuart could smell sour cherries, something like that. It made him hungry, and that hunger somehow beat out the terror.He pulled his head backwards.
