Mistaken Identity
It is almost midnight
The mist blankets the beach
I feel a chill coming from inside
My heart is pounding
The throbbing in my ears drowns
out the sound of rushing waves
I know someone or something
is watching me
I clutch my chest, hoping the
tightness will lighten my fear.
I hear heavy breathing
I brace myself for the unknown
I force myself to turn
Starring back at me is a stray
German Shepherd with his
tongue hanging out
Hoping I had a tasty treat
to appease his hunger.
