JUST A SCRATCH -1

rather it was hot , the pain was enough to convince me that it wasn't a dream I instinctively staggered back to the wall where the sun couldn't reach then lifted up my hand that felt like I had mistakingly poured hot water on it I was red and started turning purple before turning pale white cold sweat rolled from my forehead.

I felt my hands getting colder, the more it turned pale the colder it got before fully changing back like I was never burned or anything the dead silent street wasn't the only thing I noticed, my arms where pale white that I even thought I had lost so much blood on that even my palm was a bit lighter than my skin, I had to find people first even if it was only a single soul.

"maybe glasses was right about me having 8th grade syndrome, now I can't even tell the difference between reality and imagination?" I could only keep myself busy by thinking about what if only the sun ray didn't already reached up to my toes causing me to jolt because of the pain as if to tell me not to think nonsense and just find a way to get out of reach from the light.

since the light has gaps thanks to the buildings all I had to do was jump to the next shade.

"haa.... easy for me to think if only the gaps weren't so big, maybe I could use my bag as an umbrell- wait I'm sure I have an umbrella in my bag. " I could only increasing my pace in searching for the umbrella that was at the very bottom of the bag when I noticed the gap got bigger I finally grabbed hold of the umbrella my supposed ticket to get to the other side the moment I stepped out on the road to get to the other side I heard the most terrifying sound that made me whip my head to the side maybe those monsters are still here, what do I do if it sees me and starts chasing after me .... I don't want to be a monster food.

even if I had to get to get burned by the heat at least I have a bigger chance at surviving than instant death guaranteed

even if it hurts I had to find a place to hide , with how fast I was thinking while stuck on spot I noticed that the sound also stopped as if it was following my pace so in order to check if the thing that made that tapping sound that was loud enough to be heard was close by,

I decided I would take two steps and then three , the sound followed suit to as if trying to make me think I was the one making the tapping sound I picked up a gravel from the ground threw it to an alley way to my left which made a click sound four times but the tapping wasn't heard which only made me raise my guard up and held my breath.
