Without warning a sound rises, a long groaning sound, like a winter wind. I shiver automatically. Partly old memories and partly because I'm spooked. Usually nightmares don't get to me because they're tailored for the dreamer. I don't know what it is about this one, but if I didn;t know better I'd say it was for me. Except for the damn questions. Those don't fit.
You ain't him,'less I'm dead too. What? Is there another Corey here in town? I catch up with the words. More like was.
The shape is getting firmer, more man-like. Still made of smoke but now it's roughly man shaped. Tall bugger. I have to look up at that hazy figure. the lack of a face makes it more intimidating. Don't think... I want any man'd shoot a lady in my town. As are the words. Sounds serious and a bit threatening.
I raise my hands placatingly. "Hold on, hold on. I just got into town on Monday. Wouldn't shoot anyone, guy or girl."
What the bloody hell is going on here? I didn't hear about anyone shooting a girl in town. Only deaths I heard about were the guy who wanted to be mayor and a couple who burned to death in a big house on the edge of town.
