Keep running. Gotta keep running.
"Come out come out wherever you are... you can't keep running, sugar. Soon your legs will get tired, and you will have to rest." A honeyed voice purred.
A loud, ear splitting noise followed the voice. It sounded like millions of nails being slowly scraped across a huge, endless chalkboard. I decided to duck around a corner, hoping to loose the creature. Whatever it was, it wasn't human. The screeches grew louder as the creature approached. It didn't bother to look around the corner, and I had gotten a chance to get a good look at it. The creature had long, gangly arms and enormous hands with scythe blade-like claws. It had two long, spindly legs, and it was hunched over with its arms dragging behind it. As it moved farther away from me, I let out a sigh, standing slowly and running in the other direction.
I began sprinting as fast as I could, not caring how much noise I made. I knew that creature would be back soon, and I wouldn't care to know of its intentions if it were to catch me.
