It was a quiet evening, about 10:00. The cool breeze wafted over me as I walked through the desolate park near my apartment. I felt restless and wired so I decided to go for a brisk walk to burn off some energy.
As I walked along the dimly lit path, a rustling sound interrupted the deafening silence. I turned toward the sound in the bushes but saw nothing and no one. I figured it must have been a squirrel or something, so I continued walking.
A similar sound got my attention again and this time the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I still saw no one but I was struck by the feeling that I was being watched and stalked. A shiver ran down my spine as I turned the other way to walk back home. It was then that I heard footsteps walking behind me. I turned to look and it was a man walking behind me. He appeared to be over 6 feet tall with a broad chest and shoulders. He was wearing all black and looked menacing. I picked up my pace but so did he. I broke into a run but he was faster and it wasn't long before I felt his strong arms around me and him lifting me off my feet. I kicked violently and screamed for help but his grip on me was firm and I was helpless as he pulled me into a secluded area off the pathway.
I screamed and pleaded but he clasped his hand over my mouth and pressed a knife blade to my throat. "Shut your fucking mouth and do everything I say or I will fucking kill you." I became silent and nodded frantically as I felt the sharpness of the blade against my skin, slicing it ever so slightly.
