I trudged along a dirt trail eroded by the harsh changes of the seasons. It was an off road of a street that I took to school earlier this day. A quick rustling in the bushes peaked my interest for a short while but then got pushed to the back of my mind in a matter of milliseconds. Then it was back a rustle in the trees almost as if someone was following me hidden by the swirling of the dried dying leaves and the warm rays of sunshine mixing together. I glanced up briefly noticing a bird swooping to a nearby branch above my head. As I continued walking I was at ease that the noises was a bird. Then there it was again the noise I froze not knowing what to do next. Then my mind ran wild for what it was coming up with the most gruesome and terrifying things that it could be what is it, what could it be, a man or a beast.
Then it stoped and I found my self looking into a pair of pitch black eyes focused on my face unwavering as it stared locking eye contact with me. I instinctively flinched as it went for me running me down at a pace that I could not meet. Materializing out of thin air a deer its golden hide making it devolve into the background mixing with the autumn leaves. I felt stupidly happy at the sight of it looking back I thought the deer was coming straight towards me when it was running away from me and more to that it was afraid of me.
