Paranoia
Rated: E | Poetry | Emotional | #1688011
How safe do you feel walking home alone on a dark night?
Paranoia

Footsteps.
Drawing ever closer.
Increasingly louder.
I stop.
Wait.
Intake of breath.
Look around.
No one.
Just blackness.
I walk faster.
Heart pounding.
Silence.
Then...
Footsteps louder.
Closer.
Glimpse of long hair.
Ring in nose.
Leather coat.
Paranoid mode.

‘Dropped yer wallet mate?’


' Oh! Thanks.’
