Irresistible

 

Wintersweet

It was irresistible.
Tick tock, tick tock.
3am.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Let the hunt begin.
The silence of a heartbeat on the wall.
3am and here we go, three hours till dawn.
I have mapped it all out in my head. Left, left, right and left.
And there'll be the gate.
Tick tock, tick tock.
I won't run this time. I'll zigzag from shadow to shadow. Quietly. Slowly.
Tick tock.
The door creaked a loud alarm.
Tick tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
And I ran. I just ran.
But... I was caught again.
Tick...
I was caught...
Tock.
