I went for a long walk at night.

I thought it was good for my spirit.

I took a walk in the streets.

In my hometown,

alone.

clearing my mind

Around 11:30 p.m.

After walking for thirty minutes,Β 

I noticed that people were approaching me.

thinking that,

Perhaps I know them.

I was wrong.

However, they vanished before my eyes.

Scary shadows are around the corner.

Watching

A boy disappeared.

Using a bicycleΒ 

after passing,

I asked myself if it was real.

The wind began blowing.

Following the speed

of the guy dressed in white.Β 

How terrifying the streets have become!

I almost cried.

Running back home was my best option.

I did exactly that.

Without looking back.

    It's so sad that we carry such a sense of threat with us.
