Dead Girl Walking
“I hold my breath and listen, but there’s no sound to betray a presence nearby. My fingers curl tighter around the hilt of the blade. I scan the car park, my eyes struggling to pierce the gloom in the darkness beyond the few tall lamps. There are a handful of cars, dark shapes punctuating the shadows, but I don’t see any movement. The smell is there, though, scraping at the back of my throat. He has to be behind me, I have to look.
I jerk into action and leap off the wall, spinning around with m...y knife ready. I almost lose my balance and panic grips me as I right myself. But the road is silent and empty once I collect myself enough to look. Slowly, I approach the scraggy bushes growing along the wall. I extend my knife arm and inch towards them.

I spin around and scan the streets beyond the boundaries of the casino car park but they’re silent and empty.MoreLess
