Doll
1.
The woman ran as fast as she could, trying to escape the hunter. The streets, normally busy, were deserted on the dark, stormy night. She was alone.
"Help!" she shrieked, but thunder boomed in the distance, covering her voice.
Behind her, the hunter followed at a leisurely walk. There was no need to rush.
The woman turned into an alley and hid in the dark shadow of an open door. She covered her mouth to muffle her panting as the hunter entered the alley, walking slowly past her hiding spot. After a few minutes, the hunter passed again and left.
The woman let out a quiet sigh.
A hand covered her mouth. She screamed, but the sound was muffled as the hunter grabbed her and spun her around. Her eyes widened as she watched the hunter pull out a knife.
"Please," she whispered. "I have a son!"
"I know," the hunter replied.
This time, everyone heard her scream.
