Footsteps coming up behind him. Light footstep. Children perhaps, but why would children be out on a night like this? Laughing children. Glanced around in every angle. No tell tale shadows. Just the sound. Of threatening feet. Chasing feet. Running footsteps. He was in no doubt though. Children. Many children. Running. Running after him! Light and fast. Gaining on him. His heart pounded. He tasted fear. Knots in the stomach. A cold sweat. Breathing issues. He turned and ran. He wasn't sure what he was running from. He ran as fast as he could. As if, his life depended on it. From every angle, he heard the footsteps chasing after him.Henry ran. Between streets he'd know well in better light and weather. Didn't know where he was. Still he could hear the footsteps. Directly behind him. In front of him. All around. "
