Run!

My feet crunch on the dry leaves and sticks on the forest floor. I sneak through the woods to find what I’m looking for. After what feels like hours I finally reach the cabin. The small wooden door creaks open, I walk in and shut the door behind me. I walk over to the table and sit down. I breathe in and out and peer out the window and see the sun shining through the window. Then I hear a sound, a stick cracking. I stay very still until I see the door handle turn slowly. I start to panic, so I think... breathe, what can you do? I run over to the window and try to open it. It’s stuck, of course. I grab a frying pan and shatter the window. I hear the door fling open but before I can see who is there, I leap out the window and take off into the woods. I hear pounding footsteps behind me and I run even faster. I get to a clearing and I just can’t keep going. I stop to catch my breath. But when I do I hear footsteps behind me so I keep running. I run for my life until I reach an abandoned home in the woods. I bang on the door hoping that maybe, just maybe someone is inside. I wait a minute but no one answers so I just go in. The interior is dusty and reeks of mold. I run in and try to hide. I wait for a long time until I hear scratches at the door I cower in the corner of the living room and I dare not make a sound. The door creaks open and I close my eyes, I just want it to be over. I hear steps in the hall. My heart is pounding out of my chest. I open my eyes and see a dark figure looming over me. I let out a yelp of fear and then everything goes dark.


To Be Continued...Maybe
