The Terror: Spectators #3

a bat

dropped out of the belfry

almost mating

with the judge’s toupee

darted left

almost entering a woman’s scream
looped over and

up and to the

right

everyone ducked

sergeant at arms ordered

curtains drawn

a cat leaped from the floor to the judge’s bench

lights doused

the courtroom turned blind

all that could be heard was heavy breathing wings

flapping a child like screech

and a cat .................................................. laughing like a gatling gun.
