#WritcoStoryPrompt28
Wide, frightened eyes took in the casual gait of the man walking towards her. Cold beads of sweat broke out across her forehead. It couldn't be him, could it?
It was him! That smirk on his thin lips was too cruel to belong to someone else.
But how could it be? She had killed him years ago!...
Wide, frightened eyes took in the casual gait of the man walking towards her. Cold beads of sweat broke out across her forehead. It couldn't be him, could it?

It was him! That smirk on his thin lips was too cruel to belong to someone else. But how could it be? She had killed him years ago!

Her heart raced as memories of that fateful night flooded her mind. She had thought it was over, that she could finally escape his clutches. Yet here he stood, defying all logic and haunting her once again.

As panic threatened to consume her, an unyielding determination rose within her. She refused to let fear dictate her actions this time. With God's strength by her side, she would face this demon from her past, confront him, and reclaim her freedom.

She took a deep breath, summoning all her courage, realizing that God had kept her alive for a reason. He had given her the strength to survive, grow, and now it was time to overcome. She whispered a prayer for guidance and protection, feeling a reassuring presence in her heart.

With each step closer, the man's presence grew more menacing, but so did her resolve. No longer bound by the shadows of fear, she would stand tall and defy her past. God's love and grace enveloped her, reminding her that she was never alone.

As their paths finally converged, Orna looked into his eyes, her fear transformed into unyielding strength. She proclaimed, "You cannot harm me anymore. God is with me, guiding my steps and shielding me from your darkness."

In that moment, she realized that she was not just a survivor; she was a warrior, armed with faith and empowered by God's unwavering love. And with God as her ally, she knew she would triumph over the haunting shadows of her past.

Because when darkness tried to consume her, she stood firm in the knowledge that God's light would always prevail.
