Catch Me If You Can

Prologue

Walking along the road, the streetlights light was illuminating little spots of the sidewalk, leaving the rest of the world as dark and mysterious as could be. Suddenly, I heard it, a loud rustling in a nearby bush. Stopping dead in my tracks I spun around and looked around fearfully. What was it? I don’t know. I saw something shiny in the bush but it quickly disappeared into the night. I saw a figure quickly run and disappear into the night as well, I could only see the bodies outline. No details.

I started running, breathing heavily in fear. I could hear heavy footsteps behind me, at times I could even hear something heavy dragging or hitting against the ground. It was a sound that not even a serial killer would want to hear when they were going home in the middle of the night.

I ran as fast as I could, dodging benches in my way. I almost reached my street but I tripped over a beer bottle. Lying there, I could hear the mysterious person coming closer and close, dragging whatever it was they had behind them on the cement.

Frozen in complete fear I didn’t move. I couldn’t even think.
