The ominous sounds of heeled boots clack down the empty hallway. Making it clear to those hiding that they are approaching. The footsteps are measured and slow Yet loud like they want to be known as the sound that strikes fear into the hearts of all men. There's nowhere to go Nowhere to hide the footsteps are apoaching and we're out of time. They are almost here. Just one more corner. The footsteps are approaching the sound is like ****** And when they arrive we'll be gone for good and when they leave our ears will do us no good. The sounds immobilize us We can't breathe We can't see We duck our heads between our knees We duck our heads between our knees and listen while the steps cease We pray to God that they leave us be We pray to God clack! they leave us be clack! We pray to God clack! They leave us clack! Be.

© Tatiana I don't know if this came across as suspenseful, but that's what I was going for. Also, the sound of heeled-anything, echoing in an empty hallway can be terrifying.
