I locked eyes with him, and my instincts screamed to run. The violence I'd just witnessed left me frozen in terror - my legs weak, refusing to budge. As his gaze met mine, fear spiked through me. He'd just taken a life right before my eyes, and I was acutely aware that I could be next. His expression was unreadable, a mask devoid of emotion. I wondered if this was what detachment looked like. He took a step closer, his voice low and even. "Are you afraid?" I wanted to respond, but my lips trembled uncontrollably, and my voice caught in my throat.

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."
