    Yes, this is an experimental short story. Yes, it could be considered a poem in parts. The story conveyed in these single brief lines in rapid fire tell of a situation that is gruesome and dark - each line attempting to evoke an emotion or a scene like in the flicker of a fluorescent light or a slow strobe in the dark. This is probably best experienced without any real details of the plot given its unique form and that it is the type of horror about the state of mind and the chase.
