Shadow Lust
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end. All of a sudden,it turned pitch black,no soul in sight! My feet were nowhere to be found as I hung on to the nearest street pole, a hole dug deep in my heart, I could feel the blood gush out of my oesophagus, a white frame lurked amidst this darkness, and gently approached me in majestic steps, a feline, right?I was dead wrong! This was an ogrelooking fellow wrapped in white ragged sheets, I still unable to make the gender status, immediately,it grasped my Italian leather shoes, with so much force I nearly fell! Now barefoot, with the thought of being followed by someone or something, famished and stark broke, I reminisce how I got here in the first place...he was convulsing and thanks to my phobia for hospitals and fear of losing my colleague to this infection, which I was informed could have been contracted by me already, I had left him there for dead upon hearing the deposit amount to start any form of operation on him, I gave the imaginary cheetahs a run for their money, the casket Police car chase had nothing on me.. just then it dawned on me, I was being pursued by none other than my...guilt...no consc... you guessed right: my guilty conscience haunted me, till I was lost in the shadow of my lust!
