As I tried to run my legs shock beneath me. From behind I heard one last terrified scream before I turned and ran down a long dark alleyway. I stumbled blindly in the darkness without the faintest idea were I would find myself. Is soon began to weaken so much that I couldn’t continue.
"You think you could escape! No one escapes. Not from me." The voice echoed down the ally. "Run all you want, as soon as I finish with this one, I'm coming for you. And you will die!" My legs finally began to buckle, I had been running for so long. I came to a door. Locked. I blindly stumbled along trying to find another. The only thing keeping me moving was my will to survive. This was no ordinary man chasing me. I don't think he's even human.
I found another door and turned the door knob - locked. I turned and started to run again. In the darkness, I tripped over something; crashed onto the pavement and twisted my ankle. I could see the silhouette of a dark figure, through the light of the moon. There appeared to be six tentacles; three on either side of its body. The figure crept steadily towards my body, getting closer and closer...
I scrambled to my feet, but my sprained ankle buckled beneath my weight. With a cry I fell to the floor and sprawled over something, the same something that had caused my initial fall. It was the fresh corpse of a man, still warm and wet with blood. I let out a wordless gasp of horror and dragged myself away from the body, away from the tentacled creature chasing me. He was gaining, but not as quickly as I thought he would. He was toying with me. I backed away until I felt something solid behind my back. The end of the hall. A door.
I frantically opened the door slamming it shut behind me and bolting it shut. Finally I was safe the creature couldnt get me in here or so I thought. I felt something rap around my arm just as a light was flicked on. I gasped. I was sorounded by many tentacled creaturers I was doomed or was I?
