Wow, laying in the middle of a street, crying, waiting for something to end me. Why? Just because of a boy? As I laid there waiting, all my thoughts of him came to my brain. The good, the bad, the up’s, the down’s. All of it. I just want it to end.

“Well nothings happening… so I might as well look at the place where my final breaths will be.” A sigh escaped me, and I looked around a little bit. When something catches my eye, a utility pole with a… flyer on it. I stand up and walk over to the flyer, almost as if I was spellbound by it. “Down on your luck? Call us for a free fortune!” The flyer read. “A free fortune?” I muttered, “I might as well as I wait..” I looked back, still no cars… sighing I typed the number into my phone and waiting while it rang, and rang, and rang.

“Welcome, darling, something tells me your calling for the free fortune, no?” Well anyone could’ve guessed that, I thought.

“Yes,” The woman on the phone went silent for a moment, “What is your name son?” A shiver went down my spine,

“Alex Thorn.”

“Alex…” She said ominously, “Do you like sweet or spicy?”

“Um. Sweet, I guess… What does that have to do with this?”

“Just making small talk.” She said gleefully. She went silent for a minute and something told me I should be silent too. Nearing the end of the minute my ears began to ring and my head began to throb. But that’s normal. “Alex. Listen to me closely. You are in a lot of danger. You should be safe as long as your never on Maple Street at night alone.” She said, I looked up at to where the street sign is, “Maple Street…” I muttered, all I could hear was heavy breathing. From me? From the woman? No…… Slowly I turned my head, not knowing what would be behind me…

“Aahhhhhhhhhh!” I screamed, “Oh, just a chipmunk…” I muttered,

“Alex are you alright, dear?” Suddenly, something from the darkness covered my mouth. My eyes widened from fear and shock, clearly this couldn’t be the chipmunk again… The throbbing came back and so did the ringing too, then all went black. All I could hear was the woman on the phone, laughing.
