Taylor had run through these woods many times in the early hours of the morning just before dawn. These quiet paths had become a peaceful solace away from the stresses of being a young college student.
She always started her runs before the sun had risen so that she had the park all to herself. It was the only way to keep the eyes of creepy men from staring at her 36F tits; which bounced up and down with each stride, barely contained by her pink sports bra.
Suddenly Taylor didn't feel so alone. She'd heard rustling behind her and slowed to a stop. She turned around but couldn't see what had made the noise in the darkness. In all her morning jogs she'd never seen another person. surely it was just an animal.
Taylor hiked up her black gym shorts and continued her run. Light crept into the forest as the sun had just started to rise, but it was too low in the sky to see over the trees.
*SNAP*
Taylor was now sure the sound wasn't her imagination, and animals generally didn't make their presence so obvious. She slowed down just enough to focus on her surroundings. When she turned around she was startled to see a man running on the path behind her.
He was tall and fit with short, dark hair. He was wearing gym attire and running slightly faster than her. Taylor had never seen another person jogging on these trails at the same time as her, but it was such a lovely area it seemed reasonable that eventually someone else would discover it too. But still she felt uneasy, there was something strange about this man.
Taylor picked up her pace in an attempt to create some distance between them. However, it sounded like his steps were quickening as well. She felt a growing pit of nervousness in her stomach, but she attempted to remain calm knowing there was a fork coming up ahead. Surely he'd have the good sense to take whichever path she did not and in order for them both to enjoy the solitude of the quiet park.
She took the left path upon reaching the fork,. As did he. The pit in Taylor's stomach grew even more and she began to genuinely wonder if he was coming for her. She began to run even faster. As did he.
Now Taylor was certain he was chasing her down and she was going to do everything she could to prevent him from reaching her. They both continued to accelerate until she was sprinting full speed down the unpaved trail, but she could still feel him gaining on her. Taylor knew she couldn't outrun him and in a moment of panic she took a hard left off the trail into the unkempt woods. He followed.
Taylor was moving as fast as she could while still dodging roots and leaping over logs. Branches smacked her face and thorns scraped as her legs as she ran, but there was no time to care about that now. All Taylor could do was keep running away from the rustling leaves and snapping twigs behind her.
She briefly turned her head to see whether her decision to go off path had created any separation. For a moment Taylor's heart felt lighter as it seemed the man was not as adept at dodging the many obstacles in the forest.
As she turned her head back around, Taylor let out a yelp of pain. She'd tripped over a root and slammed her knee into another. She attempted to scramble up to her feet, but was quickly stopped in her tracks and yelped in pain once more as her head snapped backwards.
He grabbed her by the end of her ponytail. Running was no longer an option, she would have to fight him off.
Taylor turned around and began swinging at the man with her fists. It was only now that he was up close that she fully realized how much bigger he was than her.
