The Chase

It was like a dream but only in this dream, I wasn't in control. I saw her, she was running really fast. I could see the terrified look on her face - she was scared. I tried to stop her and ask her what was after her but just as I got close to her, she ran into me and kept on running as if I wasn't there. I was shocked and surprised. Was I dead? I pondered as I was lost to the current happenings.

And then while lost in my thoughts I felt something speed pass me. I had thought it was the wind not until I saw it, I saw what was chasing the lady. It wasn't an animal or anything out of the ordinary. It was a man, the dim light in he street didn't let me see the face of the man very well but the little I saw was filled with determination, he had the look of a predator running after its prey.

I watched as the man got closer to the lady who made an attempt to scream when she felt he was close and would catch her any second but she was cut short by a punch to the head which saw her fall to the floor.

She tried to scream once more but ended up making a little grunt sound instead, she was beginning to lose consciousness.

"Hey let her go" I yelled but nothing happened, he didn't even look towards my direction. It was as if no one had said anything. And then I charged towards him but just as I was about getting a hold of him, I crashed to floor. I tried again and again but got the same result. My hand just pass through his skin just like the way a human hand passes through a hologram.

I watched as the man dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out a pocket knife "hey don't, don't do it" I said. And just as he drove the knife into the woman's lower abdomen, I woke up.
