I Ran Away...

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.
Slowly I turned around in fear, expecting the worst. A dark thin hand reached out towards me. I knew my life was over.
I was paralyzed with great fear. Sweat and salt rolled down my frightened face. Instinctively, I fell down like a lifeless doll, screaming and begging for mercy.
The person who was following me suddenly laughed with pleasure, and said something I'll never forget.
"Can you show me where the exit door is, please? I'm lost! I am trying to find a way out of this hospital," the old man said to me.
Yes! Sometimes in life we fear and run away... from those who need our help the most!
