'He always walked down this street on his way home from work, but he had noticed that something strange had happened over the last few nights - the lamp posts had slowly but surely been twisting and turning whenever someone walked past, like they were all eyes that were watching those who walked past.

The pavement was bulging as the posts were stretching out of the ground to get a better view, as if they were forcing their way out of the ground - those lamp posts had been there for as long as anyone had lived on that street, and no one had ever seen any electricians replace the light bulbs or run maintenance on them. They produced an unnatural otherworldly green light, and upon closer inspection, the posts all had veins slightly visible underneath the metallic surface, and he could see shining red pupils on the surface of the 'glass' - they were all living creatures - eyes attached to long, strong metallic stalks that were observing anything they could see.

If they were eyes and not some strange trick being played on his mind by weariness or nervousness, who or what could be watching the people of the town? Why were they watching? What plans did they have in mind? Had they always been living under the town?'


A little cryptid idea I had when I was walking home from my art group a few weeks ago. :D
