Watcher

I stand in the shadows, searching for the one person who keeps slipping through my fingers. They are so close; I can smell them. But where? I’ve looked everywhere, and I can’t pinpoint the location. I know they are here in this city, though. They can’t be anywhere else.

Suddenly, a car stops, and he jumps out, running down the road as if the hounds of hell were nipping at his feet. I follow. And then he falls over someone. My prey: here. Before I can do anything, he is thrown back into the car, and his victim follows, jumping in without thought.

The search continues because they have once again disappeared. I will find them. I will win, and then, I will be at peace.
