The Tracks

2:29

    My legs quiver as the car brakes hard just a few inches away from me. Frantic I scream with my hands up " help, please help us!" I can feel the heat from the car on my legs, The bright fluorescent head lights shine in my eyes. the car door opens and all I can see is the shape of a tall man his figure standing there as he steps out of the car.

     I scream "please help us, please!!" I can see from his body language he's hesitant, in a deep shaky voice he asks "are you okay miss?" I yell "I'm fine, but please help this man! Please he's bleeding out and I don't know what to do. His car flipped, he's loosing consciousness please sir!"

I point to the car and he starts to walk toward me closing his car door. he gets closer, though we are only a few feet apart it feels like a lifetime before he walks right up to me. I put my red blood soaked hands down to my sides. He's tall, at least 6'2, brown eyes, short brown hair and a beard almost down his neck. we run to the flipped car on the other side of the road. And it's so dark you can barely see anything.

    As i approach were the bloody man was laying I pain I realize he's not there anymore. Where did he go? The tall man asks "are you sure he was here?" "Yes I am 100% sure he was laying he covered in blood about to loose consciousness" he seems confused and looks at me funny. I start freaking out, my chest gets tight and I can't breathe.

    I can feel my space getting smaller and smaller even though I'm outside. I turn away from the man and take a few steps back. How could he have just walked away? How? He didn't. He was right here. On the brink of death laying there drowning In a pool of his own blood. I'm sweating But it's so cold outside I can't feel like hands.

    The man approaches me and grabs my shoulder to turn me. "Listen"he says. "He's somewhere here we just gotta look. Let me look really quick, It'll just take a second." My chest begins to loosen and my grip comes back I can feel my self easing. Keeping my focus on the floor and his warmth on my arms. As I look at the floor behind him I see movement almost like a shadow on the ground.
