Running, running

Why am I even running?

Turning around and looking

What is there to fear?

What could possibly be chasing me?

A mad man?

Waiting now

Waiting for whatever it was.

Blood

Fear

Blood and Fear?

Where is it coming from?

Looking around

Nothing to find

Looking down

The blood is mine

Along with the fear.

The blood is fresh

And still flowing.

Weakening…

And slowly dying

The fear growing

Now I know what I was running from.

The fear of dying.
