She glanced up to remark how soft and fat the stray tabby had become since living here, but the words never got out of her mouth. On Brahmari's shoulder sat a man's head. A putrid green, it was continually turning around and around. He was smiling, not a pleasant smile; he had some teeth missing, and those that she could see were very sharp. He had the eyes of a lizard, and she remembered her father saying never trust a human face that doesn't have human eyes. This face was very solid, very real, terrifyingly real. She thought, I am hallucinating, this is so bizarre, it's almost like he is sharing a body with her.
Sensing that something was wrong, Brahmari looked up, and quickly assessed Maria's expression. "What are you seeing?"
Transfixed by the awful apparition, Maria didn't reply, and Brahmari became agitated. "What is it, Maria, what do you see? What are you seeing?"
