100 word prompt – Fear, Prey

thisacelovesheadcanons:

Heart thundering, feet pounding. You can hear the whistling of the wind past your ears even as your pulse thunders through the sound.  Your chest heaves and you want to break down and cry but you can’t.

You have to keep running.

The monster is chasing you, somewhere behind you it thuds and pounds, like a heartbeat but slower.  

Hungrier.

Teeth and claws and empty eyes just waiting to tear you apart… one way or another. If you let it catch you, let it taste you, taste your fear maybe you’ll survive.  You start to slow, pulse surging through you.
