The brilliant Neko Case.
I caught his words with my open mouth
I gagged and choked and spit them out
I heard him turn as he did hear my tiny heartbeat in his ear
I was already running
I heard him coming
Shrapnel spitting from his wheels
His scything arms raked for my heels
I dove and rolled and hid my face, and I said these magic words...
