The sound of the wind rushing past his ears overwhelmed his senses. He ran blindly, without feeling, onwards, always onwards, as if he would never stop running. He stopped at a road, the silence suddenly allowing him some cerebral peace. Looking this way and that, his eyes searched in the dark for some stranger to whisk him away. He felt a sensation deep in his bones, a familiar sensation which rocked his soul like a hammock in anticipation of an approaching storm. He felt the nausea rise up inside him at the idea; he hated hammocks. The ground trembled; once, again, again. He felt his own warm liquid running down his leg and filled his briefs with the remains of his aubergine lunch. The terrible pounding grew ever closer, invading his head and washing everything else away. As he glanced behind him he caught flashes of the giant robot that was forever chasing him. Its headlamps swayed as it came closer, closer. It was upon him. His chin trembled and his bowels voided their contents once again. ‘Please’ he pleaded, ‘it wasn’t me’. The robot did not understand him, and with a single bolt from its laser, it destroyed him
