Chapter 15 - THE STALKER IN THE SNOW
The winter weather arrived suddenly,
bringing cold snow to Dayton streets,
covering the world in white sheets,
I had to leave the shelter house,
to see Dr. Reeves at hospital,
for the removal of the metal staples,
Sarah offered to drive me there,
but her car would not start up,
the battery was dead from the frost,
I told her I would take bus,
it was just a short ride away,
and the daytime felt safe enough,
I walked to the nearest bus stop,
pulling my scarf around my face,
the snow was falling down heavily,
blurring the lines of the buildings,
making the streets look empty,
I saw a figure standing across,
across the wide icy road today,
a tall man in a dark jacket,
with a black hood pulled low,
he was staring straight at me,
my breath caught in my frozen throat,
the size and the posture matched,
it was Logan standing there,
he had found me somehow tonight,
despite the secret location codes,
he started walking across the street,
his boots crunching on the snow,
his eyes were fixed on my face,
filled with a terrifying resolve,
I did not wait for the bus,
I turned and ran down the sidewalk,
my boots slipping on the slick ice,
my heart screaming in terror,
May you like
as the monster pursued me again,
in the middle of the white storm.
