I hear his soft steps getting louder. I run in panic, his pace quickening to stay with me. I spin around. Nothing but his breath, slow and echoeing in my ears do I sense. As I turn my head, out of the corner of my eye, i could have sworn I saw a pair of eyes reflecting back at me. His giant cloak billowing like the shadow of tree branch, crinkling in the night...
...But then again, my mind does like to play tricks on me...
Out of quick panic, I run like a fleeing jack- rabbit for aways then turn around, trying to see if I lost my unwanted shadow. Facing the direction I came, I see the menacing creature ever-closer, always following me, hiding behind the trees---stalking me.
