It was a beautifully clear day
and I decided to enjoy it
get some peace and quite
enjoy nature at its fullest.
So yes, I guess you can blame it all on me.
After all it was my decision
I choose to walk that path.
But how was I to know?
I mean, really, think about it,
would you have known.
So this was how it went.
I began my walk in the beginning of dawn.
the sky was an orange color
the clouds were nonexistent.
Which was great
considering it had rained terribly
during the night.
The walk at first was pleasant.
The air fresh
like it usually is after a rain storm.
The birds were busy catching bugs, worms,
and whatever else they could find.
And all I could hear from miles around
were my feet
as they step on a stick here and there.
Sounds pleasant doesn't it.
I mean a day to cherish right.
You wouldn't think that something like that would lead
to what happened next.
Here I was all alone
enjoying myself immensely.
No worries,
no concerns.
Just peace and quiet.
then out of no where
I am grabbed from behind.
A strong hand is placed over my mouth
preventing a scream.
I am held tightly against a large body.
Male or female
right then I couldn't tell which it was.
I begin to fight
I kick
and twist
until finally
I am free.
I fall to the ground.
Get up quickly
and run
never looking back.
I guess I was lucky.
The person who grabbed me
didn't follow me.
All I heard as I ran
was this evil sounding laugh.
I never slowed down tho
never looked back.
I ran
and ran
til I made it home.
I opened my door
dropping my keys at least three or four times.
Finally, I got in.
My heart beating wildly
what was suppose to be a quiet peaceful day
nearly turned out to be deadly.
