Running

As I'm running through the night, I just realized, why is it so dark? Just a few moments ago, it was around 9:00 A.M. I didn't care at that point. All I cared about was reaching to Hyacinth's house in time.

While I was thinking this, my mind went to another thought. Why did I automatically think the words, "In Time"? It's not like I had a certain amount of time to get to Hyacinth's house. I slow down.

As I catched a breath, I could hear footsteps in the pavement floor and a hand reached out and patted my shoulder. I turn around screaming and flailing.Then I hear a familiar laughter. Was that Hyacinth?

"Fuck you man!" I blurted out, just as a toddler and her mom goes by. I saw the mother subconsciously cover her child's ears, and started blushing from embarrassment.

"Pele, you should have seen your face it was hilarious!" Said Hyacinth between breathes. But as Hyacinth was laughing, she started to gag. She doubled over, wretching and as she got back up, her face was twisted.

As I was running away from Hyacinth, a inhumane voice said in a soft whisper,

You can run but you can't hide...
