Johnny lifted his head up, the dog was coming faster now.
Johnny turned his head to the cat.
The cat blinked, its eyes changed back to a regular cat
eyes, the cat suddenly ran away screaming.
Alerting the dog to change its direction toward the cat!
Johnny slowly got up
That cat just saved
me?
Johnny, still feeling lightheaded, staggered to sidewalk,
carefully made his way over that ridiculous fence. He made his way back to the
beginning to the park from which he came.
5? Why 5?
He sat by the sidewalk, he reflected on what had happen:
That stupid fence! He
thought.
I could’ve bled to
death and that lake, if those lights didn’t blind me I wouldn’t have tripped—
He then realized…
I could’ve died… Is
that what that cat is counting down to? My death?
But why—why would the
cat save me from that dog? Is he toying with me? Over this silly thing I took?
Johnny took out the item from his jacket, for the first time
he saw what it was that he took.
“An hourglass?” he said out loud.
“Really? It’s just a decorated toy.”
But as he gazed closer at the hourglass, he saw that the
sand falling to the bottom was turning black, while the sand on top was white.
He tried to turn it upside down, but the sand wouldn’t fall the other way.
He
set the item down, silly toy he
thought as he wrapped up his leg.
He tucked the item back in his jacket as he stood up, he
decided to take the long way than to go through that way again. He made his way
down the street, staggering because his foot was still hurting, the streetlights
were either dim, blinking, or just out of service.
We seriously need to
hire people to do their job right!
He continued onward, groping and squinting his way through
the darkness. The street seemed empty with only cars reflecting off the lights
of the streetlights and houses that looked creepy and abandoned.
The street was so bad of the lights that he eventually
staggered from light to light. He stopped at the dimly lit streetlight.
Breathing heavily, he looked up ahead, he didn’t see any lights on the
remainder of the street. He saw that there was another dimly lit street light on
the other side of the street, but it seemed so far.
Oh great! I could
either stay here or my parents could kill me for being here all night.
He decided to at least try to make it to the light, so he
steadily walked toward the street light on the opposite of the street. His eyes
fixed on the street light.
I’m almost there! It’s
getting brighter now.
That’s all he could think about, that’s all he wanted to
see.
He made his way half way through the street, when it
suddenly went dark for him…
**stay tooned for part 5!**
