Trapped

The wind howls at my back
It wraps it's self around me, envelopes me.

The sky still has a slight hue of light blue as the sun hangs on to the horizon. 
One lone star holds high in the sky. 

I watch it shimmer.. 
I'm distracted by it's beauty. 

The loneliness of the night falls on me
Not a soul around close to my own. 
                           
                                   I'm drifting

Lightning flashes in the distance along the tops of the hills
They act as a tunnel for the sound of thunder as it rolls over them

I suddenly hear a women scream and before I can register what is happening I realize it's me.

His hands wrap around my throat from behind..
                              I'm trapped...
