Barren Roads

A Chapter by Reaper

Tick...Tick...Tick...
I hear the ticking of the downstairs clock.
Oh how that plagues me when I need this sleep.
Screw it, I think to myself, lets see whats outside.
I easily make it to the cold streets. I look around for something to do.
I walk and walk, looking.
Finally I stumble upon something interesting.
A white girl joking alone. Such easy prey.
I follow her without losing a breath.
When she enters the empty part of town, my hands start to shake with excitement.
She stops for a break.
I lick my lips. I run at her. But I stop.
I spot someone else watching. Very interesting.
I start to watch him. He is well dressed and seemingly rich, nothing like what I am. But we are the same in one way. I see that same lust in his eyes that I have seen in a lot in myself.
He charges the girl. She doesn't know what has happened, she is dead before she can even scream.
I move to leave knowing my meal is gone but he hears me.
He comes at me. I jump back knocking over a wooden crate.
I grab a piece of it and when goes for me, I put it in his chest.
He falls to the floor. He is dead.
