Anyways this prompts David

Beeeep, beep, beeeep. Vogt pushed harder onto the horn button on his steering wheel. For fuck's sake I'm going to be late. "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" he shouted at the top of his voice to no-one in particular. In front of his car and for some way behind, there were columns of tanks, troop trucks, armoured cars and motorcycles.

sequence is one of the quieter scenes in the film, a contrast to the previous frantic, crowded scenes, such as the dance and the America number preceding it.

I slowed to a stop and started down the alleyway. Running blindly into an alley after a demon didn’t strike me as smart. Alex and Rhonda were as out of breath as I was when they caught me. We were all trying to catch our breath when fox peeled, I mean literally peeled, out from the side of one

Grandma’s grave, tomorrow marks the tenth year of her passing. I want you to take this bouquet of flowers to her grave.

I quickly turned the corner into a dark alleyway in an effort to lose whatever was chasing me. Almost immediately, I watched as a dark shadow crept into the alleyway in my direction.
