Really Short Horror Stories

Pursued

I had to continue running. I needed to. If they caught me.........I tried not to think about it as I rushed past crowds of confused people. 

They yelled at me to stop. I wasn't going to listen to them, I knew I was as good as dead if they got me.

People screamed as they rushed through the crowds. If they came, nothing good was going to happen. I panted loudly and dashed into dark alley. I dove headfirst into the pile of rubbish bags, burying myself into them and hoped that they wouldn't find me.

But they just ran past me. Great, I thought. Lucky they didn't look too carefully.

Cleaning my bloody knife, I climbed up the drainpipes to my next victim.
