VERY CLOSE

4:00 A.M. It was raining. There were few blocks left to get to my house. My thoughts drowned in the drips. But, I heard it.

It was a few meters from me. I felt footsteps that were not mine. He was getting closer to me. -.Who? What will you want from me? I asked myself. I accelerated the pace ... so did it. I panicked and started running. I felt like he was chasing me. I went through a garden jumping a fence and entered an alley. I only had one block left to get to my home. The guy didn't stop. He wanted to reach me at all costs.

When I was able to get to my house, because of the adrenaline I forgot to close the door but I hid in my basement. Down in a hole that left the stairs, if I was lucky I would not find myself. I heard how he entered my house. He closed the door and started looking for me. I took my butcher knife. My heart accelerated to a thousand. When he opened the door to the basement I assumed it was my end. He was walking slowly down the stairs and turned on the light. He was horrified when he saw the mutilated bodies that I like so much to dismember. .-Good job, officer - I said - He has caught me.

It was the last thing he heard before he cut his neck.
