The Shadow

I wrapped my jacket up tighter around me to block the wind. However, it didn't do much... It was a cold night, and what made it colder was the wind. And, the thought of the call.. Who would call someone this late at night? Was it just some sort of sick joke?

Time dragged on. Every sound, every rustle, every creak from the houses, I turned my head. Who wouldn't want to stay alert after getting a call like that? I looked down at my watch. Ten o'clock.

"Are they even coming..?", I asked myself. As I sat down on the curb, I saw a tall dark figure waking towards me. My heart skipped a beat, but I kept calm as well as I could.

"H-Hello..?" I stammered. The figure kept coming towards me. Slowly, silently. Should I run? I debated in my head, or should I find out what this sick freak wants?

I took my eyes off the figure and looked down the street to see if anyone was there. When I looked back over, the figure was gone. Gone. Just like that. Within a few seconds he was gone. I looked around everywhere, I even span in a full circle. But the shadow was gone.

Still looking around me, I started to walk back home. "What the hell is going on..?" I muttered to myself. This sort of thing just doesn't seem right, especially if a person just disappears into mid air. Something strange is going on... A person can't just disappear like that... Could I be losing my mind..?
