It was a normal Friday, and with each Friday night I would take a walk through the park. With a long week of school, this walk helps clear my mind of all the stress from homework and such. I always found the night being the best time since few people were out on the trail I walk, and well I always liked the night. 

However, I had this eerie feeling come over me. That feeling of someone watching you. I took quick glances at the open fields to the left and right of me. No one as expected. I continued down the trail passing benches and trees. Although, it never dawned on me that I never looked back. I stopped and looked behind me to see a silhouette in the distance standing there. He couldn't have been in the fields or sitting on the benches that I passed. How long has he been behind me? Where did they come from? I focused my attention back to the trail and began to walk again, trying to think of something else but instinct told me to look back. I looked over my shoulder as I walked to see he was following me. I turned my head back looking forward but walking faster. Looking back again, the silhouette was gone..

I felt relieved at the sight, and slowed down back to how I originally was walking. I turned my head back and froze.. up ahead was the silhouette of the man. What seemed like forever, I stood there frozen in fear as he just stood there. The moment broke when he started to walk, picking up speed almost to where he was sprinting at me. My body snapped out of its state and naturally began running the opposite way. I didn't think twice to look back. I kept running and running feeling like my body was going to collapse. I reached the park entrance out of breath and terrified. 

I looked back one last time to see I was finally alone. I walked home shaken but relieved that whatever happened was over. I never told anyone about what happened, and never went out for that walk again; but each time I passed by the park during the day or thought about it, I couldn't help but feel that whoever was after me that night never left.
