Where before had she felt or dreamt or imagined such a scene??
She already knew this unwholesome, chilling atmosphere that was somehow grotesquely alive.
It enclosed her clammy hands and twined around her ankles.
It crept into the open neck of her blouse and slid down her body, seeping into her flesh through all the quivering pores of her skin.
It crawled across her breasts, suffocating the life in her nipples.
It circled her thighs, exploring with its icy tentacles.
It entered her body with the ghastly intimacy of an incubus, and its particles, spreading, creeping, crawling, joined themselves into steel bands that constricted her knees so tightly that they ached ; ;
stifled her lungs so that her breath came in harsh gasps ; ;
clutched her throat and sucked up the moisture in her mouth so that her tongue was dry and hard and stuck to the roof of her mouth and her teeth were clenched together in the rigid fixture of her jaws.
