The wind blows from the south-west direction as the grass sways reacting to the nature.
I walk down the concrete road in the deserted path I plug in my earphone muting the reality as I
continue to walk down the empty road with my classical music.
I always loved classical music since I was young I found it amusing but my family always thought that it was just screaming with no words and always mocked me for it,but I don’t listen to them I always thought that doing what you like is a form of self care and a part of your mental health.
It was getting late I was returning from my 9 hours of school as my neck started hurting since the
exam was near the cornor and I have been staying up all night pulling all nighters studying. I’m not good at school I’m an average girl who is silent all he time in the last bench, but I kinda liked being
alone.
I looked at my watch it was 7pm it was getting dark I started to speed up my steps since at night the
drunk are always all over in this area. I reached the city as I walked into an ally to reach home faster.
As I walked down the ally I heard some women crying out for help my whole body halted as the fear
took over me.
I wanted to stay out for trouble but that women screams seems like she was in great danger. I tried to ignore the screams as I took another step forward but I heard silence. Guilt. I couldn't hear the women’s screams there was silence spreading the air. I sprinted towards the women’s
direction hoping she is alive I prayed to god as my anxiety was rising ready to burst even tho I was an atheist.
I tripped on a stone. Causing me to fall down, I groaned as I stood up I was bleeding through my right
leg but I ignored it and started to limp towards the dark ally. I stopped when I heard two men talking to eachother on the ally on my right. I sneaked behind a trash can and empty boxes as I heard their conversation.
The first male spoke “don’t mess it up again atlas.” said the man with an threatening voice
the other one replied “sorry man, they looked the same to me” said the other one who seems like his
friend.
The man continued
“what do we do with the body now”
“like we always do.”
“I feel bad for her” atlas said.
“Then you should have done your fucking job right”
“I never fucking wanted this either alec” he shouted
“let’s just clean this up before someone sees us” alec said.
I stood behind the trash can as I try to see their faces but the ally was too dark I couldn’t make out
their faces. I tried to take out my phone from my bag quietly trying not to grab their attention. But as
I turned it on I received an call which was from my mom. My eyes went wide as my heart skipped an beat.
I immediately cut the call.
“Who’s there” atlas shouted.
I slowly started to back off and ran with my life on the line. I ran as fast as I could wanting to live.
tears started forming in my eyes feeling guilty for the women. I looked back and saw that no one was following me so I slowed down panting heavily and my heart erratically.
I looked at the sky feeling pathatic as I dropped in all fours. I was at an unknown grassland with river
flowing nearby I was 15 minutes away from the city. I was in tracks back in high school you can say
I’m a pretty good runner. All that finally came in use today.
