No More Room To Breathe
Chapter 1
Running....
That's all I can do at the moment. I can hear the screams..but, they get fainter and fainter.
"Run Marilyn! Don't worry about me!, he yells. "RU-..
The last scream is cut off...and I knew why.
But soon, more screams began. Another man's screams.
"MARILYN!!! MARILYN!!!" he was shouting, angry. He was coming after me now!
I turned back to look into the dark forest ahead and thats when I tripped. His footfalls grew closer...MUCH closer.
I closd my eyes, willing the terror and pain to just go away.
"MARILYN, you can't get away!"
He was almost on top of me.
"MARILYN!! If I can't have you, then NO ONE will!!"
That's when I woke up. I was drenched in sweat, blinking the sleep out of my eyes and banishing the horrible memory for another night.I looked at the clock. 3:15 A.M. I wake up at this time every night and have woken up at this time for the past 3 and a half years.
But, the memory never fades.
