Who's After Me
June 5, 2018
The wind whipping through my hair as I ran through the dark, perilous forest. They were after me; five of them. Tall, dark-skinned, with long black hair that ran down their bare backs. Their shadow ladened faces had bright yellow and blood red paint striped across them.
They made the battle cries of animals as they swiftly approached my still shadow.I was frozen with fear as I turned around to see them just reaching my shadow, the one that belonged to a soon to be captive- ME.

@CompoundArcher XD Don't worry, we all have our weird ways of being inspired. Mine are watching old cartoons and listening to diverse music.
