bound by shadows

chapter 1

On a crisp Saturday morning I was walking along a quiet alley with my dog, Fletcher .I strolled along carelessly until Fletcher suddenly bolted racing further down the narrow path .

I sprinted after him, realising with a growing sense of panic that the familiar path was vanishing eventually, I caught with him, trembling with frustration, I gave him a sharp earful, I have never tolerated disobedience.

Stopping to catch my breath I looked around and realized I was completely lost.A sudden gasp escaped my throat looming ahead of us was an abandoned half finished building swallowed by dense,wild overgrowth.

Eerie shadows danced across the shattered windows and a chilling wind began to howl through the concrete structures, suddenly Fletcher started barking fiercely at the pitch-black entrance, the furs along his spine stood.

Absolute terror gripped me .I whipped out my phone,only to find it had zero signal.panic surged through me as I realized I had completely lost my bearings, yanking Fletcher back by his collar I turned around and began to Sprint blindly into the shadows.

After what felt like agonizing hours of pure panic in the maze of twisting paths, I finally signed in relief.

"Thank goodness"I breathed.
