Quarter Past NightfallA Story by Belen Loperfido
It was dim & foggy, the autumn leaves covered the path. But it didn't matter, it was too late anyway.
I started to increase my pace. It was getting hard to breathe. I began to run, but the leaves made it difficult to see where the path led. I could feel his presence haunting me with every tree I passed... I could hear him breathing behind me. I started running as fast as I could, it seemed I was going nowhere. I tripped and fell to the ground. It grabbed my leg. I held onto the vines of the tree that was next to me. My strength wasn't enough, it was stronger than me. I let go. It dragged me through the woods. It got foggier and foggier by the second. I couldn't make out it's face, it was too misty. There was something in the air. I began to get hazy, until I couldn't resist anymore. I woke up. It was dark.
