A Short Story
The dark alleyway was the only path that Cody could take to get home from soccer practice; it was only around the corner from where he lived, but yet no simple path to take. It was dark; the only light he had was the one coming from the flickering street sign saying exit from the local bar, and an alleyway light post. There was a sudden noise coming from around the corner, Cody was afraid, too scared to keep walking but stood firm and continued through. The noise came again; it was a laugh, but not a laugh that you would call friendly. Cody asked "who's there" there was no reply; he continued moving through the dark scary alleyway.
The dumpster smelt of bad off food. There was something rattling through it a man popped out, Cody tried to make no eye contact, the man made the laugh Cody heard before, Cody jumped and started to walk faster. The old scrubby looking man fell out and walked behind him like a spirit of some sort ghosting him. Cody asked "who are you" the man replied "Massacre Rob, but you can call me just Massacre". Then continued with a laugh, Cody laughed as well nervously looking side to side, stuttering "that's a funny name Massacre, why so?" Cody asked fascinated but also scared to find out, the man stopped laughing looked to Cody with a strait and sudden flick of a smile well my boy your about to find out.
Cody Ran, in fact he didn't run, he bolted, flashed pass like a cheater sprinting for his pray.

Massacre grabbed his arms and broke it. Tears began to roll down Cody's eyes, he was afraid, "I don't want to die" Cody sobered trying to catch his breath "just let me go" massacre took another step closer, turned him around and shoved his face to the wall and pulled out a blade, "Cody stumbled out and stuttered with a "please don't, please why me what did do I just want to go home, please let me go" the man laughed and finally spoke he commented "silly, silly boy, ok first I'm going to let you know that it would be a miracle if you could escape this situation so don't get your hopes up", the man chuckled. "I'm like a cat I find it fun to play before I kill the only difference is I don't eat my prey." The blade got closer to Cody's neck; Massacre ran it slowly down and across to the front, he pressed down lightly breaking the skin but not enough to bleed. Cody gave another scream "please don't what did I do, I'm sorry just let me go, why me please have mercy." Massacres smile drifted away with a more serious face he replied "listen kid if you let out another comment I will" he was interrupted there was a noise coming from….
