"Hey Mr. Harris," I say, giving a smile and a wave to the old man. "Hello," he grumbles, "I heard you and the Perkinson's cousin got together." "Yeah, she's the one. I can see color now," I beam brightly. The old man drops his broom and grabs me by the collar. He brings me down to his height. His breath reeks of bitter coffee. His teeth are a golden yellow, a few rotted black, and even more missing. "You listen to me, don't ever let her go! You must love and cherish her as long as you can!" he screams in my face, spit flying out of his mouth. He releases me and shakily bends over. He picks up his broom and slowly starts sweeping again.

Decadent

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
