My head is spinning, I'm sweating all over, I'm frantic. I’m lost in these back streets, FUCK, I can hear him chasing me. The son of a bitch is still following me.
I jump a pile of rubbish, I twist my ankle when I land, the pain in my foot is making tears run down my face, I have to be silent, I have to hide, he cant find me. I bite my lip, fluid drips from my eyes, my nose, my mouth.
I scurry back into the wall. I hug it tightly my back pressed into the wall so hard im sure my figure will be etched into it. I listen, I cant hear anything but my heart beat.
My eyes dart about, looking, searching, listening. I'm trying to see into the blackness around me. I can smell stale piss. Rotten food, the dregs of beer splashed in the gutter, the remnant’s of someone’s drunken stupor…
I slide my shoes off and pray to god I don’t step on anything, I take a deep breath after listening again but all I can hear now is the sounds of rodents, rumbling through rubbish. Fuck I hope their four legged an not two ...
I inch out slowly, cautiously, looking back in the direction of which I came. I start to walk again, sticking close to the wall, trembling in fear. I can hear nothing but my heart pounding in my head. The silence deafening .. The paranoia frightening ..
A bottle smashes from somewhere behind me and I break into a run once again forgetting to hide myself, my only concern to get out of these back streets before he catches me. Tears stream down my face. My breathing is harsh. I'm panting. My legs are burning with the need to keep moving and the need to be still, to relax, to walk or run without fear. I know I cant stop running I have to keep going. The hair around my head is damp its in my face, I can see through it just..
A shadow leaps out from a back entrance doorway to someone’s business. I cry out with fright and try and step around him. I know its him before he grabs me around the waist and lifts me effortlessly off my feet..
I thrash at him wildly, kicking and screaming at him to let me the fuck go. I bite his arm and he simply lifts me over his shoulder and swats my arse painfully hard, I punch at his back, several times. He swats my arse again.
My tears of fear and frustration, helplessness are mixing with the drool dripping from my mouth and the snot from my nose mixing and mingling to drip helplessly, rapidly down my face wetting his shirt..
