Icicles as sharp as knives hang above my head
I’m out of breath
Running for miles and truly there’s not much energy left
Who is this stranger?
Is he a figment of my own imagination?
A million thoughts and questions swirl through my mind
As I look up..
He’s right there
But suddenly the thought of horror quickly disappeared as he handed me a wallet.
“You dropped this”
“Sorry, if I scared you but I figured you had something important in there Chloe”
I thanked him quickly, feelings of appreciation fill me.
Later that night, as I attempted to fall asleep a question horrified me…
How did he know my name?
