You decided to skip that afterschool lesson.

What did it matter anyway?

It already seemed darker then it had since you last looked outside.

Thinking of a nice hot meal cooked by your mother: you decided to hurry home.

As you walked out of the school, you felt the cold air hit your face.

You looked over at the blazing orange sun, contrasting with the dark silhouetted trees: it was quite picturesque.

You decided to try taking a shortcut through the grassy oval, but got one of your shoes stuck in the mud.

Before you knew it: it was dark.

3 more streets to go you told yourself.

As you rounded the next corner, you squinted your eyes: there was someone standing there.

It was like they were waiting.

You wanted to advoid them, so you turned around and started to head back the way you came.

As you turned up the corner, you felt a hand on your shoulder.
