As I hid in the alleyway , footsteps were able to be heard coming close to my spot . I soon realized that whoever was there , would be able to see me and do God knows what . I really did pull through and caused my own doom once more , didn ’ t I ? As the person completely blocked my one-way escape , I saw the person more clearly . It was a man in a loose black suit with a mask of which had a messily painted smile that dripped onto the ground . I knew that man all too well to not be able to recognize him . “ Oh , old friend … how it is so wonderful to see you ,” the man , Henry , spoke in an emotionless and numb tone , leaning onto one side of the alleyway . If he had any other way of saying it without that soulless emotion , I ’ d surely assume it would be plain and simple sarcasm . “ Oh Henry ! Still the same with your rather … drastic self ,” I replied , almost mocking the tone in a way as I looked away from him . “ I ’ m not going to be playing your stupid games , I can here to do a job and that job will be something that I will finally finish . I can ’ t believe you made it so easy by just simply standing there and trapped by me now ,” he said coldly , taking a few steps closer to me as his own little way of attempting to scare me with his empty threats . We both knew well that we wouldn ’ t be above doing cruel and horrific things in order to get what he wants .
then the rest of things … shit . It was a blood stain . I quickly checked my side and to my horror , the wounds blood had seeped through the dark cloth and was ever-so-slightly dripping onto the ground . This wasn ’ t good at all . I don ’ t get it , I had it covered , the pain also died down , and just nothing seemed like it would have done anything like that . I had to leave whether I liked it or not . I was right from the start ; this was a bad idea . I started to walk off , clenching the cloth to hide the stain . Overwhelmed by the thoughts of it all , it started to fester and there was a limited amount of time I could mask it before it shatters , and it shows that stupid weakness of mine . It was hard to find any shelter within these cracked walls , after all it was filled to the brim with people . Quickly looking at my surroundings , there was an old small alleyway that looked good enough to hide in . I darted to it without looking back , now thinking about it , I looked off when doing this . It ’ s not often you see a shady looking person go into an alleyway to do God knows what . As I stood in the alleyway , it felt damp and claustrophobic to say the least . I couldn ’ t stay here forever ; I knew that clearly but if paranoia got too unpleasant then “ oh boy Tom ! You ’ ve really screwed up . Maybe if you didn ’ t fight back when someone wanted to turn you in , you ’ d be safe and sound and not in a stupid alleyway that you cower in ”.
