Like waking within a dream – or, at least, the point where the lucidity begins…
I turn my head in the small theatre, expecting others to be smiling, if not laughing. But no-one is, because no one else is here…
Just me and it…
The curtains part and what I know to be behind them takes centre stage. Leathery pads, soft on the well-trod wood, make a sliding sound as it turns to face me. The eyes are glittering, but not as much as its breath, which seems gathered to strike in elongated curls of superheated air.
