Meeting Inhumanity In a Dark Alley

I wanted to think there was a sliver of human in those eyes But I could not find it. They were bleak, desolate. The energy he exuded was potent and evil. If he was not the devil, he was high in the ranks of hell. I could not bear his stare. I was reminded of every dark alley I had been too afraid to enter wondering why I had chosen this one on this night with this element of evil. He made a move toward me and I knew all was lost.

It is sadly the most naïve and innocent who fall prey as prey.
