Will called out into the vast emptiness that surrounded him. His voice bounced back from the unseen walls.
_Where was he?_

A gust of wind whooshed passed him. He spun, his heart racing. Inaudible wh...
I run back to the start line, only barely losing my focus on the track ahead.
I see him…or at least I think so.
Is that him?

“Alright, do another set of strides and then we’ll practice hand-offs for the next track meet,” Coach says.
Hazel and I run down the track at a smooth pace.
I connect eyes with him, but that can’t be Ethan.
It can’t be.

‘I’ve been running my entire life from my past but I think it’s finally catching up with me.’ The words were written in a red liquid that I dared not look to closely at but suspected it was blood. The second line of the letter was started ‘There are here I don’t know how long’ but then abruptly cut off. I had found the letter on the floor of a house I was investigating. I shivered as I put the let...
Feeling of darkness and lurking if the recess of the corner of my mind.
Everywhere I run or hide it sits there next to me like an apparition.
A dark ghost ever present.
I run along a road it the far corners of the world and i look back it’s always present
