Walking To Running

A Strange Man

I was half way home and my boots were giving me painful blisters because I forgot my socks.

A car stopped on the road next to me, I did not think much of it because I'm walking in my neighborhood.

A strange looking man came out of the passenger seat. He was walking behind me, after about two minutes I realized he was following me.

I started to speed up in hopes he would not catch up. He started to walk faster still following me. I was scared so I started to run. He was running after me with the car following close behind.

I was sprinting when I realized my shoes have punctured my skin causing my blisters to bleed. It hurt like hell but I reasoned that its better than what would happen if he caught me.

I was so tired and on the verge of tears. I looked behind me and saw that he was within my reach. I ran faster and was about to collapse on the ground crying.

I took a sharp turn way from the route of my house. I lost him. I hid behind a car for 5 minutes catching my breath.

When I got up, I looked around and the road was empty. Then I walked home. Peacefully.
