Silhouettes Amongst Me

my feet punch the dull, rugged pavement as I slink down the cool quiet night with only the harsh stale lamp to highlight my way ahead. A presence is felt as the hairs on the back of my neck come to a stand my heart unconsciously increases in speed, my eyes dart from shadow to shadow as the darkness flies around me, mocking my every move. My pace quickens as I attempt to escape the nightmare, they are chasing me now snatching at me with there thick claws. I've been forced to a sprint. as they draw closer I can feel the cool of there pace against my back as I lurch forward out of there reach. Ahead is a never-ending blanket of silent blackness. I close my eyes and stop dead in my tracks as the darkness engulfs me. It swallows me whole, the suffering has ended.
