The hair on the back of your neck rises
A shiver races up your spine
Your eyes glancing nervously around
Your breath coming out in gasps
You think it's over
You think it's safe
But then you hear it again
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
You hold back a scream and run
Faster and faster
Your heart pumping more
Blood racing around your fearful body
The sound follows
Keeping up the pace
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Faster and faster it comes
Sounding like a war drum
You hoped you imagine it but your not
Box over box you leap
Hoping for a distraction
But the only one you get is yours
You stumble only for a split second
But it's too late
A scream erupts in the darkness
