The Mongrels

The sound of screams had woke Nasak up, a scream from within his own nightmares. After that he could not get back to sleep and for the last hour he had lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Clarence snored gently from the other side of the room and Nasak listened to him with some envy. His friend had always had no problem with falling asleep, even in some of the harshest conditions he always found the embrace of sleep with ease. Nasak had seen him curl up under a piece of rusting corrugated sheet metal and fall asleep in a matter of seconds as the rain pounded down on it with explosive force. Nasak had spent the night huddled under the same metal covering as his friend slept and he sat beside him soaked, cold and unable to sleep.

Nasak's nights were haunted by dreams filled with screaming women who faded from view whenever he tried to catch a glimpse of them. The screams were ones of disgust mixed with horror at his twisted and deformed body. In these dreams he would be forced to walk down an endless street crowded on both sides by tall buildings with soaped out windows. As he walked along the endless street he could feel a multitude of eyes watching him and always judging. Screams that came from close to his ear would make him wheel around only to be faced with an empty street stretching on into infinity. Most of his nights were broken by dreams of that sort and he would wake up with a cold film of sweat covering his body and his breath coming in sharp ragged breaths. Sleep would never come after one of his scream filled nightmares and Nasak would sometimes get up and roam the forest at night to try to calm his mind.

For the last hour he had been staring at the ceiling and thinking about home, the home he had been banished from. They need to be reminded that we exist he thought as he stared at a thin hairline crack that ran across the ceiling above him. A red dot bounced across the ceiling and moved about in a jittery pattern. Nasak got out of bed and went to the window and looked towards the forest on the ridge out past the boundaries of the ranch. The red dot hit his chest and spun around in tight circle. Nasak raised his hand and the laser dot disappeared.

“We move out now,” Nasak said in a gravelly whisper.

Nothing. The snoring continued.

“Clarence,” he said louder.

The snoring stopped and he took a sharp intake of breath. “What is it?” he said sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

“A signal from Benson. Lets get the hell out of here,” Nasak said.

Clarence looked at his friend with sleepy eyes and said, “What about Tulimak?”

Nasak stretched and cracked his knuckles. “He can wait. We will deal with him all in good time.”

“Do you think they have eyes on us?” Clarence said getting out of bed and putting his modified shoes on to his twisted feet.
