Footsteps

"I can't leave her. I must save her."

By Christiana StraussPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

"I cant hear myself think

This can't be real

Hold me close my love

It's our souls they will not steal"

Heart beating loud

The only sound he hears

Then, he hears her voice

Her screams getting louder

The closer he got

He runs to the door

Noticing the blood on the floor

The screams cease

And he fills in the missing piece

Her death would not be in vain

The footsteps get louder

As the killer got closer

He looks in the mirror on the wall

Griping the knife tighter

As he turns towards his next victim
