What Do You See?

The woman in the red jacket was walking very slowly, seemingly studying something a little ways off the bridge. Her eyes were wide with fear.

"What do see?" I asked.

She shushed me and slowly raised her arm and pointed. I stopped, looked hard into the bushes and trees, but saw nothing.

"What?" I whispered.

"Come here," she said. "Look there."

As I moved closer, I saw the machete rise. There was a scream or a squeal or... an I don't know what. We gasped too loudly. That's when we saw the eyes in the shadows.

We turned and ran.
