I woke up to a loud scream.
Who could it be? The only person who could possibly be out here would be my neighbor Josie who is about twenty years older than me. I run downstairs and hear banging on my door and yelling.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" I shout.
"Please! Please open the door Anna!" She screams.
As I open the door, she staggers in falling to the ground. I look outside and see a tall man dressed in all black with a knife running towards my house. I quickly lock the door just in time as I hear the sharp knife stab my wooden door. I lock the door and run to lock every other door in my house and windows. I told Josie to calm down and go upstairs and lock all my windows. As she runs up the stairs I close all of the blinds and peek out to see where the tall man is.
I then see him sitting patiently on my porch sharpening his knife with another larger knife. He is wearing a mask with a creepily smile on it. He slowly turns his head and the mask stares back at me making me jump back and scream.
"I'm coming for you, Anna." He says in a low voice.
How does he know my name?!
"P-please, d-don't d-do this. P-please, just leave! I promise I won't tell anyone and I'll forget this ever happened!" I shout with tears streaming down my face.
"Let me consider this...no." He says.
"W-what do you want?!" I yell.
"I'll make you a deal. You give me Josie and I'll consider sparing your life." He says while his knife is close to his face as if he was examining it.
Why does he want Josie?
"Y-you're crazy!" I shout while stepping away.
"Have it your way darling. I'll just kill both of you then."
He says while getting close to my window.
I can hear his breathing, it's low but deep. Josie comes running down the stairs telling me that she had locked everything. I walk towards the kitchen and get some water. This can't be happening. Everything was going well, I had finally gotten my life back since the... accident.
I hate to think about that day. It keeps me up at night and I swear I can hear the little girl screaming but when I open my eyes it's gone.
"What are we going to do??" Asks Josie while sitting next to me.
"I don't know, Josie." I say slowly while looking down at my cup.
She looks down and puts her hands over her face and starts sobbing. I don't think I could take much more of this. I get up and walk towards the living room and stop when I get in front of a dresser. I open a drawer and pull out a blueprint of my house and a map of where I am.
I look closely at the map and examine how far civilization is. It's about a 20 minute walk but a 8 minute drive. How would I get to my car in time without him reaching us? As that thought ends I hear my car alarm go off and I look outside my window. He is facing me and he is slashing my tires. The lights go off and on while the loud alarm plays over and over again. Now there was no way to leave, how will we escape?
