Breathe. Breathe.
No. Don't breathe. Don't breathe because they'll hear you. Not a sound now.
Let your muscles curl, tense, wind around bone, pull you in to the tightest of balls. Be like marble. Like stone. An impenetrable castle. A fortress.
Don't breathe. Don't make a sound. Be still as the dead.
They're coming.
Oh god, they're coming.
