Memories

By: K

/The sun is setting. Blood red sky. The clouds cover the comforting present of the stars. Even the moon isn’t visible. I walk alone through the alley. The feeling of eyes on my back is ever present. Soft steps echo behind me. My heart races. My breath hitches. Hands grape my waist from behind./

Waking up with a scream. Tears on my face. Like a river. I seem to be a never-ending waterfall of tears these days. Every thing makes me cry. Every word, every image, everything… I don’t know what made me change. I used to be a stable person… Perhaps it was your leaving…

I look outside. Blood red sky. Covered stars and moon. Dark clouds. Rain. Standing up I doubt if I should go outside. The alley is dark. And lonely. I walk through it. Until… Soft steps behind me. My heart races. My breath hitches. Hands grape my waist from behind. No waking up this time. I should have stayed inside. Someone turns me around. A face. Brown hair. Thick beard. Twinkling grey eyes. Well known face. I sigh. Relieved. It’s only you. A smile in my voice. Don’t scare me like that…

The End
