" Something bizarre is happening to our little town and the explanation we get from our local police is that all of them are ongoing, none have a conclusion; all lead to dead ends. I say that's utter garbage, we are being lied to right under our very noses; played by those who are here to protect us.

They are causing more harm then good! They call for curfews while these killers, or killer come to our very homes and kill us there because it's just too easy; it's sickening!

I want justice, just like every being in this town but we ain't going to get justice if we just sit around indoors; just waiting to be the next to be killed!

I ain't going to let some person make decisions for me and my family, I will live this day just like every other; I will not add to the murderers satisfaction!" I blasted through the microphone so every person who rallied at the park could here my call.

They cheered at my response and I took it all in, whoever is going around and causing havoc is certainly not going to control MY life!

I walked off the stage and was flooded with flashing cameras, "mayor, do you believe this 'murderer' will strike again?"

I turned to the particular reporter and plastered on my best smile, "of course but I ain't going to wait around on my butt and wait around." I said confidently as I moved to get out of the way of the public eye.

I spotted my driver in the far left corner of the car park and made my way over to him, "Richard, I will be taking my evening walk alone." I said in a demanding tone.

Richards face visibly paled, "but there's a killer out there and walking around nearer the night without an escort would mean you will be a great target."

I let out a hefty laugh, "dear boy, no one would kill the mayor. No one in there right mind would kill the most powerful person of this town."

Richard shook his head, "well just be careful."

I smiled, "of course."

And with that I walked off past Richard and into the woods.

I know I'm practically calling to be killed but come on, no one would kill me otherwise they would be dealing with some serious issues.

My mind trailed off as I walked alone in the silent woods.

A light breeze tickling my skin, birds chirping above the trees with leaves which were blowing in the direction of where the wind was blowing.

Small sticks cracking under my feet as I made my way down the path, a clown with a wide ire grin- wait! What?!

I stopped in my tracks and looked around me, there wasn't a clown; it was just in my imagination. I reassured myself.

I walked further down the path and started to hear more twigs snapping. The twigs started to be snapped quicker, meaning it wasn't me making the twigs snap.

I instantly started to pick up my pace and run full force down the path. Trees started to wiz by, the leaves that have fallen from the autumn weather now squelching under my rapid feet. Mud flinging up from my continuous rapid pac, until silence!
