The Fearful Walk Part 1

I walked out the front door of the middle school finally getting a gasp of fresh air. Being crammed in a school over the span 8 hours was too long of a time. I had to walk to the elementary down the road. To me, walking was always better than driving. Cars were to small to be in for a longtime, and I had people driving me around a lot earlier in the week. Even though I was only 12 I still felt like I was old enough to walk many places alone.

I got off the sidewalk by the middle school and started walking on the back road because is was faster than the main road. Walking down the street was relaxing because there was no one else around to distract me. Of course there was always the occasional car engine or dog barking, but for the most part it was quiet. Since it was quiet I could get lost in my thoughts very easily. I liked to sing songs in my head, to pass the time.

While walking you come across many different things. There are different trees, houses, cars, and people. I was walking and I came across this creepy looking house. The wood on the outside was rotting and turning black, the chain link fence in front was rusting, all of the grass had died. It was pretty creepy. On the street level there was  a short, long bush. All of the leaves on it were still growing really well so it look weird in front of the house. As I walk next to the bush I heard rustling.

Right as I heard it I stopped right in my tracks. I looked at the bush, but I couldn't see anything in it because it was so heavily leafed. I started to walk, but a little slower this time. I moved a little farther when I heard it again. This time instead of stopping, I sped up a little bit. As I walked a little faster the noise started to follow me. I didn't know what to do. I was almost at a slow jog by now. The noise would not go away. I could see the end of the bush now so I knew I would know what is was soon.
