Facebook story -- Wednesday morning

I don't have long. Ever since I escaped, I've been followed. I can hear footsteps and breathing next to me wherever I go. Many of the university city's transients are following me around, their eyes empty and soulless. One of them even screeches as she gets close. I've done nothing but run. Right now I'm hiding under an overpass. At least my jogging has made me faster than the homeless.

I don't know if I want to share what happened as I escaped from the darkened room that held me trapped. The thing that was on the other side finally managed to open the door. As it swung in, the terror in my soul increased dramatically. There was a figure outlined in the noxious green light. Only man sized, but it was hunched over its arms were crumpled up. It let out a small moan and looked up into my eyes.

Heaven help me, but I had to make a break for it. Steeling myself the best I could, I took control of my body away from the fear that had been gripping it and ran forward. I caught the thing off guard and managed to push it into the door way. I slipped on some foul liquid and went sprawling on the floor, but thankfully I managed to go past the thing.

As I tried to get to my feet, I heard it scream at me. A horrible bird like call that pierced my ears. I looked up at it as I scrambled up off my knees. Its face had been torn into and was a jangled mess of flesh and muscle and bone. Jaw bone was showing through its cheek and its throat was a mess of gashes. Its arms had been broken in many places, which is why they were hanging so oddly.

But it was still alive! I could see the gleam in its eyes that spoke of pain and a desire for an end. I wish I could say I was brave enough to have given the thing the end it wanted, but I fled. My courage had been expended and I couldn't say. The final straw for me, that made me flee? It was Dan!

I can hear the breathing again... next to my ear... I'm so tired... but must run again.
