The night was dark. The moon was barely out, and the majority of the street lights weren't working. The one that did work was flickering.
I rushed right past it. There was no way I was going to get caught because of a light. But, whenever I think about it, I feel like it's the only thing that hasn't gone to the dark side. But it too is giving up.
Here's the thing, there are two kinds of people in the world right now. People who decide they like living and will do anything to remain alive, there for stepping over to the dark side, and people who are willing too help others, when they can barely help themselves. Also known as the people that don't last long.
To be able to survive, you have to do whatever it takes. Well, it all depends on how much you value your life. Of course, there have also been people who hate their life, but remain just o protect the ones they love. They're part of the ones that don't last long, as mentioned before.
I, however, am part of the dark side because I do value my life. I've done everything the bible has called a sin. Thou shall not kill? Well, let's just say I won't be going to that imaginary place called heaven anytime soon.
I ran through the woods as fast as I could, trying to avoid making any sound. I just had to get this delivered, and it would keep me alive for another week or so. Deliveries like this are kind of like rent. If you don't pay, you get kicked out. Only difference is, if you don't deliver it on time, you're dead in a maximum of 5 seconds.
Well, that being said, you could see why I was in such a hurry to get the package delivered before time was up, and failed to notice that I was being followed.
I didn't know how it happened, but it did.
My time was almost up. I had to get to the center of the woods by midnight, or I would die. Well, I almost did…
I was only a quarter of the way away when I got attacked. My package went across the dirt floor, and I was pinned down. I only had 5 more minutes, then they'd come looking for me. So why was I being attacked now? I still had time!
I got flung on to my back, and I saw that they were wearing a cape, and was hooded had they're face covered up. I had no idea who this was…
At the time, I didn't know it, but this person was about to change me, and my whole life.
