Scary Moment... What would you do?
Imagine waiting for a train after work.
It arrives and is packed full of people. You wait for the next one. It is packed too.
You get on.
The air is thick, and moist. It smells. You want to gag.
Arms and faces smash against you. You try to find something to focus on, until you can get off.
As soon as you go underground, the lights dim.
You see a spot of calm. It is a tiny spot with nothing moving.
It is a small, tiny woman. She is sitting perfectly still. She is perfectly dressed, in a navy blue suit with pearls and white gloves.
On her lap is a small square lunch box.
She opens it, and carefully picks out something to eat. She holds it with both hands like a miniature corn on the cob. It is red, It is dripping.
She eats it like a rat, nibbling from one end to the other. Her mouth is now red. It looks like blood.
She looks up.
She stops moving. The woman stares right into your eyes, and smiles. Her mouth is bloody.
You see what she has in her hands is the lower piece of a human jaw... and what looked like corn is human teeth...
What would you do?

I look around. No one else seems to notice.
My mouth opens slightly but no sound comes out. She holds her finger to her mouth, confirming that I should say nothing.
My heart is pounding in my chest. I can barely breath. I feel the panic building.
She turns back to her meal. I blink and the light on the train seems to get brighter. I blink again and she is gone. I shake my head and look again. No one is there.
I slowly make my way to the seat where she was. I must have imagined it all.
I sit, and the seat is still warm.
I love it! I love the part of where she tells you to say nothing, with her finger to her mouth. I love that the seat is warm. Great imagination!
