Night Owls

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

He couldn’t quite believe what his eyes were seeing. Had he finally found who he was looking for all this time?

All at once a blinding light coursed through the space. Jerry and the woman froze. And then a creature appeared, seemingly from the air itself.

Jerry ran for his life, while the woman remained frozen. Then she disappeared as the creature drew closer and closer to Jerry. Just as it seemed it was Jerry’s time, he woke up. “Another dream…” Jerry mumbled.
