Power walking generally got the better of me, and tonight was cold too, only adding to my discomfort.
just the moons soft blue daze upon the street allowing me to put one foot in front of the other in the right direction
I needed to reach the Courthouse, I told myself, sounding juvenile in my head, [period here] I disregarded the thought of trying to self-motivate myself farther and stuck to just making sure I was heading in the right direction.
People would kill for what I had right now, yet, here I am, in the mercy of the rain, the papers slowly dampening under my hidden thumb.
I’d done too much to get where I am now, breaching another turn I peered upward at a dressing of signs and acknowledged that turning right was the next port of call.
Strangely amidst to my loneliness, I hardly noticed the man following me until I turned.
I brushed past the luminous fence as I swept around a corner.
I strode, laced in a corduroy tailor-fitted suit, my feet soggy in the wet damp leather soles of my shoes and my head snug in a straw fedora hat.
Rain tippled down upon me.
Shouting brewed from a distance, but besides such it was mere silence, rain, yes, but everything else had gone dead. My stride was heavy; I could tell by the weight of my feet as I walked heel by heel along the cobbled, wet sidewalks

His feet had picked up pace now and the sounds of his paced jog revealed a man of good taste: a fine leather soled pair of shoes, what a gratifying way to dress upon your death.
With the silence once again returned, I took off out of the alleyway, joining the street I had seconds ago departed.
At that moment, a crowning sound echoed throughout, the distant shouting instantly impeded by the curiousity of such a noise and then me, collapsing to my knees as something shredded its way through my heart.
