Am I Unseen? | Lauren Dunmire

I walk the deserted streets with just a lamp post in the distance

With its light flickering on and off

I feel a breeze run up my neck

Causing a crease in my skin

I shake it off

I close my eyes and smell the scent

Of freshly crisp leaves

Assuming that I’d feel a crunch soon


But when I look down there’s nothing I see

No hands, no legs, no feet

The light burns out

Complete darkness


I’ve never been alone like this before

I’m scared


What do I do now?


I reach out in front of me

To try and feel my way around

Let the air guide me

But I only get a faint breeze

Almost as if it’s a breath

But not a breath of fresh air


There’s something there


I roll into a ball

Hoping that’ll protect me

But no


That figure was no animal

It had no fluffy fur

It did not have four legs

There was no barking or panting

There was no sound


That figure was a person

A person trying to grab me

Trying to pull and take me away


I scream and shout

Praying that someone would hear me

Wishing that someone would see me

Hoping someone would yell for me

But no lights turned on

No doors opened

No people came out


So there I was 

All alone


Unseen
