Footsteps
The middle of night
Heavy footsteps behind me
Walking home alone
Whispers from nowhere
Crushed dead leaves on the pavement
Rustle in the wind
Cold shivers, heartbeat
Racing the droplets of sweat
Upon my forehead
'Don't stop,' I resolve
Gulping the sand in my mouth
'They will go away'
"We shan't be gone, dear,"
The whispers I hear too clear
"We came from your mind"
"Your fear summons us
And we will gladly appear
Don't shy away, child."
I run like the wind
Screams lodged in my burning chest
Scared of my own thoughts
The footsteps still heard
I gasp for air then I turn
Nobody is there
A/N - I had no idea what to write about so I searched for random prompts on Pinterest. This is the one I followed:
(Pick up the book closest to you. Turn to page 55. Use the second sentence on the page as your prompt.)
The sentence I found was : I turned around and nobody was there. XD
