It was too quiet inside the creepy grocery store, that I believe is haunted. I was pushing the cart slowly and cautiously. I had to gather the groceries on the list mom send me with quickly, because I just knew something bad was going to happen. Also because the store closes at 9:00, and it was 8:45. As I was looking for the milk mom wanted, I bumped into a strange guy that I didn’t know. Which was weird, because this town is small enough for me to know everyone. He glared at me. He wore a shiny amulet that reflected light into my face and a brown leather jacket. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you,” I said, apologetically. “Watch out kid. Where’s your mom? You shouldn’t be alone at the grocery store. You don’t know the dangerous things that …show more content…

I felt a cool breeze as I stepped outside. It was about to rain. I started to walk down the empty street. I felt myself walk faster. I hesitated in front of the ice cream parlor. Maybe a sundae will make me feel better. I continued on thinking Mom will get upset if I’m any later than I am now. I heard thunder and saw lightning out in the distance. I had to take the shortcut. It wasn’t very safe, but I had to. Stopped in front of the alley way, I heard footsteps coming my way. Thinking no one saw me, I hid around the corner, and slipped into the alley. My breathing was getting heavier. My heart thumped. I leaned against the brick wall and closed my eyes. I was going to be ok. What was I so scared of? It will just be a two minute walk home when I got out of there. I put my grocery bag down. My arm was tired from the milk carton. Again, the footsteps. My palms sweaty. My blood pumped. I was getting hot. Then, I started to run. As soon as I saw my neighborhood, a mean looking dog ran up to me. It didn’t bite, just barked and jumped around me. Most likely a stray. “Stop!

I ran the other way, thinking he wasn’t going to chase me. But he did. I picked up my pace. Why did my snatcher have to have a dog? Why not a cat? I hate dogs. Especially this one. He gained upon me. Tears rolled down my face. My heart thumped a million times a minute. I wanted to give up. I could never out run a dog. Especially this crazed one. Then, it happened. His pace picked up. It felt like everything was in slow motion. He pounced. And just like that, I tumbled to the ground, not knowing what happened. All I was focused on was the sharp pain I felt in my left calf. I layed on the ground for minutes, turning into hours. There was simply nothing else bad that could happen to me. First, I was taken, then, the shed, the fire, getting lost, the dog. I felt like I was dying. I couldn’t do anything. I just layed there slowly trying not to fall asleep, because might never have woken up again. I held onto the small tree next to me and tried to stand. I hopped on one foot. I found a lim to support my leg. I had no idea where to go. I fell to the ground again.
