Darkest

she ran down the alley, no breath left for screaming. one thought only, to escape.

the turning had been a mistake, the last of many, but here is where it had led her. this dark place, well away from the bright lights of the city, down here amongst the lost, the forgotten and the damned. as she runs, her foot catches and she stumbles, falling headlong through the greasy puddles, to come to rest against the wall. grazed hands and knees now weeping blood that slowly mingles with the grime. behind her, the footsteps slow, then stop, and a giggle, almost child-like in it's pitch begins. she closes her eyes. there is no point in watching. she knows what is to come. death stalks down through the darkness towards her. a slow death, and a cruel one.

then there is the noise. like the hand clap of a giant, and she is buffeted by a wind and a strangled cry that comes as quickly as it is over. opening her eyes, she looks around the empty alley, her pursuer gone. standing, she shakily makes her way towards the street, not noticing as behind her, a fine red rain begins to fall.

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
