I can't help the whimper that came out of my mouth as I realized the danger that I was in. It dawned on me that I was alone with a lunatic who wanted to cause me harm in a room that was pitch dark. The only source of light is the same man who wanted to cause me harm.
This is just like in the movies. That irrelevant thought almost made me burst into laughter. Why would I even think of it that way? I too must be going crazy.
I saw him take a step and I retreated. I thought that if I maintained the same distance between us I would still have a source of light. I would just make sure that he wouldn't notice the way in which I was going.
I kept retreating with every step that he took towards me. I don't even want to imagine the things that he might do to me if he manages to catch me. He kept on advancing and would madly cackle once he saw me stumble. His mad cackle is starting to get on my nerves.
