What Do You Think It Should Be Called? IDK

I was swiftly walking along the edge of a deserted street. It was dark and a shabby looking house on the other side of the road had its windows broken. A small shiver of fear made its way down my spine and the cold atmosphere seemed to be hugging me tightly, refusing to let me go. I walked on, knowing that I was perfectly safe.

Then, all of a sudden, a mumbled voice shouted from behind me.

‘Hey Sugar,’ I turned around to see a middle-aged man stumbling around with an almost empty bottle of wine.

I looked back away and continued walking forward. I continued walking until I reached a house with a light on out the front.

‘Hey, where ya goin’,’ His words were slurred.

I didn’t pay him any attention and instead took one step forward. I heard his footsteps running after me. The fear got stronger and goose bumps rose on my arms, making me shiver.

‘What’s wrong?’ The middle-aged man smiled.

‘Go away,’ I tried to make my voice sound brave and secure although I miserably failed.

‘Hu’ His voice was even more slurred than before. And then, he fell, banging his head on the ground and heavily pushing against me. His weight being pressed on me was too much for me to handle. I fell towards the ground until something caught me. The weight of the man was suddenly gone and I was mysteriously upright. I looked around seeing no one other than myself. Not even the middle-aged man.

I looked around again, double checking. Still, I came up with nothing. Then, I felt a sharp pain in my back. I then went on walking until I saw a young boy crying at the corner of a rusted house.

‘What’s wrong,’ I jogged over to him.

He looked up at me, wide eyed, and then continued crying, looking away. Before I could say anything, two strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me back.

‘WHAT THE-,’ I began. A hand covered my mouth so tightly that I found it hard to breathe.

‘Shhh,’ a deep voice pleaded. I tried to look around at the man but his arms were too tight around me. I squirmed until he loosened his grip. I looked around and found a tall, dark haired man staring intently into my hazel eyes.

I abruptly felt an unexplained urge. Sure he looked cute...but still.... He then moved his arms from around me and left them dangling on either side of his body. I was entranced and was unaware when I stepped forward, gently crushing my body into his. He took a step away and walked off down the road.

What just happened? I had no idea.

I looked around to find that the young boy was no longer at the corner of the house. Were people disappearing or was it just me going crazy? I don’t know.

I walked myself to the end of the road and then turned the corner. I caught a taxi that was driving around on the street, back home.
