Thump... thump.......thump........ I could here the footsteps getting closer and closer with my breathing heavy and slow. I had the phone which was covered in my nervous sweat the held steady in my hand ready to dial the 9 1 1. I was in the back room of my house, avoiding the kitchen and bedroom where he would most likely be looking, because he was looking for me. I pressed the 9- making sure that I couldn't hear it myself before he could hear. I wouldn't want him find where I was hiding. I decided to dial the rest of the numbers, and hang up immediately so that they'd show up anyways. I pressed talk and then waited for the person to pick up. "Hello 911 what's your emergen-" I hung up. I gulped as I heard more footsteps coming my way. I could see the shadow of the man under the door. I held my breath ,and the shadow stopped.It stood still then slowly started to walk away .then he ran out the front door shutting the door behind him . I was so relieved that he was gone ,but I knew that wasn't the last time he was going to come after me .All Rights Reserved
