The low hum of the white noise drifting from the TV in the left corner of the bare, square room, together with the dripping tap and advancing footsteps created an eerie symphony.
From my point of view -which was on the floor- I could see a, small, decaying wooden kitchen table that was splintered by the legs, to my right and some old wonky cupboards to my left.
Directly infront of me, right in the middle of the open plan kitchen and living room was a looming silhouette. In his left hand was the rusty, blunt steak knife dripping with my blood.
Is he that poor?! He can't even afford a decent knife? I thought to myself.
Hold on. Wait a minute ! Where the heck did he saunter off to for 5 minutes! Maybe he thought that if the rust from the knife swished around in my torso for a few minutes I would magically contract tetanus.
...But then that wouldn't make sense...
He then stepped forward into the puddle of light the moon was emitting.
"Hi" I croaked . My throat was dry but my voice oddly stable.
He sunk to his knees. A single tear escaped his eye.
