Making their perilous passage. "You may bring to again Mr Bush. " "Aye aye sir. " They were now so far from Naiad that it would calf for a sharp eye and a good glass to read her signals. "We're the terrier at the rat hole sir ". buy imitrex Tommy could squeeze off a shot. He was surprised that it was fleeing from him and then he was relieved. The pistol and his new strategy of showing no fear seemed to have given the beast second thoughts. As quickly as surprise had given way to relief how-ever relief now turned to alarm. In the gloom and at a distance he could not be certain but he thought that the creature had still been holding the six-inch length of spring steel not in the fist that it had raised but in the hand held at its side. 'Oh shit. ' His newfound confidence rapidly draining away Tommy ran to the stairs. The mini-kin wasn't in sight. Tommy descended the steps two at a time. He almost fell at! the landing grabbed the newel post to keep his bal-ance and saw that the lower steps were deserted too. Movement drew his attention. The mini-kin streaked across the small foyer and vanished into the living room. Tommy realized that he should have gone to the master bedroom for the flashlight in his nightstand drawer.

Though the thing was only a tiny fraction as strong as he was its supernatural resilience and maniacal relentlessness compensated for its comparative physical weakness. It was not merely pretending to be fearless as Tommy had pretended to be while talking his way out of his office. Though the creature was of Lilliputian dimen-sions ! its reckless confidence was genuine; it expected to win to chase him down to get him. Cursing Tommy raced down the last flight. As he came off the bottom step he heard a hard crackle-snap and the lights went out in the living room and the foyer. He turned right into the dining room. The brass and milk-glass chandelier shed a pleasant light on the highly polished top of the maple table. He glimpsed himself in the ornately framed mirror above the sideboard. His hair was disarranged. His eyes were wide whites showing all the way around. He looked demented. As Tommy pushed through the swinging door into the kitchen the mini-kin squealed behind him. The familiar sound of an electric arc snapped. eawwu668xcbws446uyftgu54445
