Man In The Mask

Closer

I could hardly breath running out the house. Did Anna invite him. Was he a guy in a costume. I wanted to be happy on this special day, I mean a lot of girls think , when you turn 16 it's a big deal. I wanted to enjoy the party but not with that creep in there. 

I went home thinking about the Man in the mask. I almost ran a red light. I need to get my head straight. The only way to do that is to visit my dad. Oh yeah forgot to say i have a step-dad. The only reason i call him dad is my mom thinks it would be good for the family. Anyway, my dad died was i 3. He had a great heart. My mom and him were in love. He was perfect. But he died in a car crash on the way home. He worked in Washington and we lived in Wyoming. 

Before you knew it he goes onto the freeway, and bang the guy hits him. I don't know why i always kept thinking that he never deserved it. I mean i loved my dad and all but he did some pretty rough and bad things. Anyway, Before he died he helped me continue to follow my dreams. I had always dreamed of being a singer but my dad said i needed inspiration. I remember he used to say one of his favorite quotes, "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club" - Jack London. 

From there on out I kept doing what my dad wanted me to do. As i got to the place where the buried my father, i was pretty scared because i thought the man in the mask would jump out of nowhere. After all it was cold and dark. As i was walking towards the grave , I kept watch of my surroundings. I finally got to his grave and began speaking to him, 

"Hi dad, it's me. I need you to hear me. I remember when you told me to keep watch and let no one stop me from achieving my dreams.  I keep wondering why is he coming after me. I just need your help right now. Anyways, I miss you. I'm sorry i didn't bring anything to give my respects, but I still love you. If you were here right now i would really want a hug and  for you to tell me that everything's gonna be alright. Dad I'm scared, but i know your with me right now. 

As I cried upon my father's grave, i heard a large crack like someone just stepped on a branch. I looked around as i was dried my tears. I heard it again. Could it be him. Could it be the man in the mask. As i got up i kept hearing it come closer and closer. I ran to my car as quick as possible.

When  i got in i saw him. He was right there. He came closer and closer. I tried to put the key in the ignition but my keys fell. I kept pushing to grab my keys, but it was to late. I screamed as I felt a hand cover my mouth. 

He took me away.
