The Black Alley by Tommy

The Black Alley by Tommy

The black alley came towards me
I felt the hesitation in my feet
Why?
Was there something to be afraid of?
The dark, the water dripping everywhere,
The scream, and the stealthy steps coming closer and closer.
Was I the hunted one?
My feet started moving, towards the end of it.
I could see the light now, the end of the tunnel, where I would become free.
Where I could reach the light.
Touch it
Feel it.
But the steps behind me,
Closer and closer
I could feel the breath on my neck
And then the lights were gone
Gone forever
The switch had been turned off.
