When I touched her shoulder she stiffened and trembled, but I pulled her toward me. Then it happened.
It started as a hollow buzzing in my ears... an electric saw... far away.
Then the cold: arms and legs prickly, and finger numbing. Suddenly, I had the feeling I was being watched.
A sharp switch in perception. I saw, from some point in the darkness behind a tree, the two of us lying in each other's arms.
I looked up to see a boy of fifteen or sixteen, crouching nearby. "Hey!" I shouted.
As he stood up, I saw his trousers were open and he was exposed.
"What's the matter?" she gasped. I jumped up, and he vanished into the darkness.
"Did you see him?" "No," she said, smoothing her skirt nervously. "I didn't see anyone."
"Standing right here. Watching us. Close enough to touch you."
"Charlie, where are you going?" "He couldn't have gotten very far."
"Leave him alone, Charlie. It doesn't matter." But it mattered to me.
I ran into the darkness, stumbling over startled couples, but there was no way to tell where he had gone.
