She couldn't understand why, the thought of that triple rainbow. She couldn't get it our of her head. What did it mean? Probably nothing. Paranoid personality disorder, she reminded herself. It was nothing. A refraction of light in moisture; what's visible to the naked eye. Glimpses of another world we can't see in plain daylight. She realized how much time had passed and took back to running. It's nothing, she whispered.
In the distance a car crash rings out. She hears the screech and bang of metal and glass colliding. Without hesitation, she rushes towards the violent sounds to help. A woman is crying in a blue sedan, nearly smashed to bits. She's lucky to be alive, thinks Alicia. Peering around quickly, she assesses the carnage. Another car is splayed several feet away. No movement inside. Just as she is about to remove her phone from the armband strapped to her left bicep, a truck horn blows behind her and Alicia turns to see the monstrosity. "Oh god,' she whispers. 'What is that?' horror filled face, Alicia takes in the creature. It's looming figure moves forward, grabbing bodies and stomping closer. She looks again at the woman in the sedan. If she could only get to her. Alicia rushes over and shouts, "I'll get you out of here! We have to run!"
She attempts to open the car door, but it's jammed. "Can you push it open?" the woman looks at her and frantically shakes her head no. "Okay," Alicia says, "Gimme a-"
Alicia is scooped upward by the creatures clawed hand. She is screaming now. The creature begins to squeeze, and her breath fades. Her eyes are closing. All she can see is the mouth. It's getting closer. Then-
The woman in the sedan screams and cries as the monster passes by. She stops screaming as she watches it step right beside her car. It continues down the road.
