The Monster In the Mirror [Thomas Brodie Sangster]

Part 1

I hurried my feet quickly though the vast empty streets. The tall buildings dark looming over me like monsters. The sky is a deep blue with barely any stars, no clouds and no moon. The only light was the flickering streetlights that lined the roadways. My dear grew with my every step deeper into this darkness. My own steps the only sound echoing for miles. Thought this whole wall I felt as if I wasn't alone, like something peaked at me in dark alleyways, something looked over me perched on these buildings, something followed my steps with such precision and accuracy as If they knew my steps before I took them, something made those lights flicker to hide their activities as if everytime the light went out something past or of stood there hidden from me within the darkness but by the time the light returned they would be gone. I didn't look behind me or around at all. I just focused purely on the path in front of me trying not to act as if I was scared. My keys in my hand, the little keyring slightly clinking and clanking as I shivered in fear and cold.

The wind whistled through the alleys and streets from an unknown place, chilling my spine. I just wanted to get home, home to my cat, home to my bed, home to the warmth of the fire and the safety of a locked door.

I took a step hearing the echo and I heard another. As there was another step I froze under the flickering light, my blood running cold, I took another step and behind me I heard two more steps. I took two steps and heard three behind me. They were getting closer I could feel breath on the back of my neck, I took another step, and then another breaking into a run as fast as I possibly could down the empty dark streets the lights flickering faster with my steps I saw one in front of me at the end of the road go dark so I ran faster trying to lose them in the darkness but the light came back on seeing a man stood there in a long coat I didn't have time to run elsewhere and he grabbed my arms.

I screamed bloody murder my voice horse and breaking as I did but he was too strong, I saw the man who had been behind me he caught up and next I knew everything was dark.
