My whole body shook and my head swirled with thought. Why me? Screaming wasn’t going to help. I didn’t want to seem scared of him, although I didn’t want to end up like my family. I then remembered there was a window outside my parents room. I ran to that window, clicked open the lock, scrambling my hands, flung it open, and leaped right out of it. The ground was far enough away. I landed on my back, my spine tingling. I started to run, slowly at first then a sprint. My body shook remembering my family and everything the did for me. I just left them there. I tried to hold my tears back, I was a man, well not really, I was only thirteen. I wasn’t ready. There’s never a right time to say goodbye. I should be more focused on that there might be a killer trying to murder me. My breath got fast, and my legs ached as I ran into a dark gloomy forest. I thought I had lost him. I was just getting myself paranoid . I tried to imagine this place during the daytime. Leaves crunched in the distance. The fog swirled around my face. Owl hoots whistled through my ears. Footsteps seemed to get louder. My heart beated out of my chest. All I could do was run.
