Her breath came in short, ragged gasps as she ran. Fear gripping her sensibilities and pushing her beyond her preconceived limits. Adrenalin fed energy to her aching muscles and tired limbs as she ran on. Taking a right, she continued her desperate flight down a narrow, trash ridden alley. As she ran she knocked over trash bins and various assorted junk in thoughts of slowing her ever persistent, ruthless, and untiring pursuers. Upon reaching the end of the alley, the disheveled and worn out woman turned, checking on her pursuers as more than one stumbled and fell through the alley, being hindered by the assorted trash and obstacles. Slightly satisfied and relieved that her plan had bought her at least a small amount of time, she turned to continue her seemingly never ending run, now more confident and relaxed.

From a dumpster on her left, unbeknownst to the young woman, came what was once a man. He, or "it" shuffled its feet in an uneven gait, sliding its left foot heavily as it appeared to be broken in several places, though if it bothered the creature it showed no signs of pain. Reaching out silently, the creature latched its bony fingers around the neck of its prey and pulled it in close breathing its foul and putrid breath into the face of the terrified woman. Who let forth a desperate and heartrending cry that only a person who knows their imminent doom can utter. She fought as she did so, futily. For her cry was ended abruptly by the gurgle of blood as the "man" sank his teeth savagely into her jugular, warm blood gushing over his mouth and down his chin to soak what clothing was left his chest. The smell of metal and the stench of decay were the last things to poor woman smelled as she was forced to stare deep into the bloodshot eyes and bloodied maw of her assailant. As her vision faded, the last image she saw was that of her own blood erupting from this creature as he opened his mouth, teeth shooting forward for another bite. Another gurgle erupted, blood bubbling from her neck as she tried to scream again. She fell deep into nothingness then mercifully, a look of pure undiluted horror etched on her face, now becoming more mangled by each passing moment.

There actually is more to the story even though it seems over haha. But that's all I have patience to write at the moment

. Hope you enjoyed it
