Run-Personal Narrative

Walking down a long, dark hallway is never a pleasant feeling. I felt like my stomach was inside my throat, about to come out. The staircase was at the end of the hall. I’m tempted to go up it even though I don’t know where it leads. I could hear him behind me, panting, trying to find me. I hid as long as possible, until I saw his black lower half pass. Then I ran. He may have heard me as I sprinted past the hallway he was searching in. Now I’m as quiet as I can possibly be. If only I could get up those stairs and find a way out.

I’ve never done anything to you!” When I looked forward I could see light coming from under a door. Could this be my way to escape? Just a few more yards and I would be okay. They were right behind me. I could hear them. All of a sudden there was a bang and I was laying on the ground. There was a shooting pain in my leg. I flipped myself over, touching the source of the pain. Bringing my hand back up to my face, all I could see was blood. I looked up to see where the men were, then looked back down at my leg. I didn’t stand a chance. The two men finally got to where I was lying helpless. “Well I guess It’s time to go Sweet Heart,” Jeff creepily said as he reached into his back pocket, pulling out a pocket knife. The other man walked above my head and held down my arms. I was struggling to get out of the position, but even if I did I wouldn’t get far. Jeff brought up his hand with the knife and swung down. I closed my eyes, but didn’t feel anything. When I opened my eyes and I was greeted by the darkness of my bedroom. I could only see the objects lit by my fairy lights hanging in the corner.

There lay a woman, whom no one had known well, but who had approached all who roamed the streets. Her face was pale—paler than mine, even—covered with thick layers of makeup that hid the wrinkles of her skin. The police would not expect me; I was masterful in my disguise.…

    The floor boards shifted underneath me as I stepped on them. The broken chalk boards with the chipped paint didn't make this old abandoned school any less creepier. I saw a shadow emerge behind me and swung my body around. I knew he was here, and I knew I had to get out of there.
