I slowly walked down a road I’ve been down so many times before. The darkness made sure my shadows stalked me slowly. I kept my steps light and fast to give my shadow a challenge. I felt a tingle of paranoia tingle at the back of my brain but i defiantly suppressed it as I reflected on the thought of how many times I had been on this road before and the odds of something happening to me.
Just as I was reflecting on this I heard heavy foot steps and baited breathe about 20 paces away from me. I halted paralyzed to the spot unable to even wipe the sweat off my brow. My heart was beating so fast in my chest I thought it would simply explode out of my chest. Well that would of been a easy way out for the punishment I was about to endure. I heard the baited breathe behind me speedily catch up to me that gave me the strength to fight my fear and put my legs to action.
Knowing the area so well came into advantage as I ran into a maze of back roads. I made a right turn and then a left and then another right, by this time the speed I was running at was taking into an effect my chest was burning like acid but the will to live kept me going. I thought I had lost the mysterious creature so hell bent on doing me harm but after I had only 5 seconds rest I heard the baited breath again. That damn baited breath. I ran out into a main road it was a bad move living in a rural area meant open spaces. No where left to go. I turned around to face my anonymous foe i barely had time to prepare my self before the six legged creature bowled me over. His whole face seemed to be blanked just grey skin like a blank canvas. his chest was segmented by a giant gaping jaw in the middle with teeth stained with red blood which told me I wasn’t his only victim of the night and by the way he licked his lips ready to devour me I didn’t think I was going to be the last his legs sprawled from his abdomen which made me wonder how he was able to run so well with such a strange body shape. at least I think it was a male, that was irrelevant at the time. He seemed to be staring at me even with his absence of eyes like he was enjoying the act he was about to commit. I closed me eyes and thought about my family and my life in general in my final moment then he opened his enormous jaw and. Chomp. My name is timothy and this is my death.
