Week #36 - Delilah

I walked home down the dark, empty streets. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I heard a deafening scream echo out of an abandoned alleyway. I slowly edged my head around the wall to see what had caused the scream. There stood a dark shadow of a man, he held a sharp knife, dripping with dark blood. The man turned his head to face me. He edged closer, that’s when I knew I should run. I ran until my legs ached, I didn’t know if the man was chasing me, but as a kid, I knew I should be scared to death.
