The girl was walking down the dark street towards where her car was. It was close to an alleyway, but she was fearless. She never noticed she was being followed. She never noticed him until he tapped her on the shoulder. The woman asks what he wants. He seems upset. He tells the woman how his brother is in the alleyway dying, drug overdose or something like that. The woman was kind and ran over with the man to help his brother, not knowing the danger. She realized there was no one else in the alley. She realized too late. The man shoved her to the ground, the blow shattering her shoulder blade. The girl gasped from the pain. But when she saw the glint in the man’s eyes from above, she knew there was plenty more pain to come. She was all his…

“No no no no!” I screamed, finally waking. I felt a round of dizziness hit me as I rushed to the bathroom, throwing up in the toliet. Lights came on in the hallway when my mom rushed in, “Oh honey.” She whispered.

Once I was finished I crawled in my mom’s arms.
