Steps On a Rainy Night

It was a rainy night. Sondra was watching a soap opera when she heard steps outside her house. Sondra called the police. Policemen patrolled the surroundings of Sondra's house, but they did not found anybody. She recently testified on court as witness for a crime she witnessed in a park nearby her house after returning from work. The killer strangled a woman who was making exercise. Sondra went to sleep. She woke up with a nightmare. Vividly, she saw in her mind the crime. A new day was ahead. Sondra woke up and took a shower. She got dressed for her work and prepared waffles, coffee and orange juice for breakfast. She left to work. Sondra worked in a modeling agency. Sondra decided that afternoon to walk in the park nearby her house. She wanted to conquer the fear she felt after witnessing the crime. She heard a stranger call her. A tall man was near her. Sondra felt fear. His eyes reflected lust. She decided to run to the police station that was located a few minutes from her house. Sondra told to the police the event that happened in the park with the strange man. The police surrounded the park. They found the man and arrested him. He was the serial killer that strangled the woman in the park recently. His name was Lee. He escaped from prison to search for Sandra. Lee was put under arrest and returned to prison. Sondra returned to her house. She took a bath. Sondra decided to wear a flannel pajama and socks. Turned on the tv to see the nightly soap opera. Later, she decided to read the local newspaper before going to bed. While she was turning off the lights, she heard steps outside the house. Sondra thought that she was imaging the steps. She decided to go to sleep. A hectic day was waiting for her. 1-10-2016
