It was a dark and dreary night
The sky was pitch black, with only the moon's dull light
I am all alone on this dirt-filled road
No trees, animals or any other human body within the eye's reach
I strain my ears to hear something, anything
Nothing, except the howling of the wind
I check behind me. No one is there
Chills run down my spine
I can taste my own fear, mingling with the dry dust
My lungs fill with these tiny particles as I inhale
I smell nothing
I can't take it any longer
I start running the deserted void that surrounds me
I make cries of distress, hoping that someone will hear
The sharp smell of fresh blood fills my nostrils
I can taste it now
A faint silhouette appears before me
It is to dark to make anything out
Is it another person?
I turn sharply around and begin to run at full speed
My heart is racing
I can feel cold and throbbing in my dry dust-coated throat
I hear footsteps behind me gradually gaining
Faster and faster
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The pounding sounds like gunshots inn my ears
I trip and fall
I feel the sharp rocks penetrate my bare skin
I awake with a start and a gasp
Again, I am all alone on this dark and dreary night
The sky was pitch black, with only the moon's dull light
I am all alone on this dirt-filled road
No trees, animals or any other human body within the eye's reach
I strain my ears to hear something, anything
Nothing, except the howling of the wind
I check behind me. No one is there
Chills run down my spine
I can taste my own fear, mingling with the dry dust
My lungs fill with these tiny particles as I inhale
I smell nothing
I can't take it any longer
I start running the deserted void that surrounds me
I make cries of distress, hoping that someone will hear
The sharp smell of fresh blood fills my nostrils
I can taste it now
A faint silhouette appears before me
It is to dark to make anything out
Is it another person?
I turn sharply around and begin to run at full speed
My heart is racing
I can feel cold and throbbing in my dry dust-coated throat
I hear footsteps behind me gradually gaining
Faster and faster
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The pounding sounds like gunshots inn my ears
I trip and fall
I feel the sharp rocks penetrate my bare skin
I awake with a start and a gasp
Again, I am all alone on this dark and dreary night
