The Chase- Part 1 80AM and I'm already late for school. "Bye mum!!" I shout before running out the door. As I close the door behind me I look across the road and he's there. How did he find me here? I'd moved out of California to avoid him in an attempt to keep my family safe! Stares. That's all he does. Stares. Knife in hand; ready to launch at any moment. He smiles- not a pleasant smile that you might exchange with friends but more of a sinister smile. He walks towards me, slowly. Thoughts are pounding through my head, getting louder the closer he gets. I run. Never stopping. Heart pounding so fast that I feared it might jump out of my chest. Lips bone dry from dehydration. This was really the wrong day for it to be warm! I glance behind, he's still there, waiting for me to stumble. Panting. Slowing. Need a rest. Go to keep going.....
