Swooping Terror

My eyes shot open in terror, I scanned my room knowing something felt wrong and that's when our eyes met. How could I have missed it? He was right above me waiting to swoop in and end my life. My body froze in fear. Not for me but for those I love as well. So was this how the story of my life came to an end... Right here in this room, I called my own, in the bed I took comfort in. My mind raced as I'm sure anyones would when facing their potential final moments. yet, although my mind pounded with thoughts and my heart pounded in my chest, my body laid still, my eyes fixed on him in the dark. His cold steely eyes held nothing but a murderous intent but why? What had I done to deserve such a fate? The thought had but a moment to linger in my head before he swooped down on me with a murderous fury that compelled my body to action. I threw myself from my bed onto the floor grabbing the first thing I could, An old running shoe, was this to be the tool of my salvation. It would have to be, for if not the story of my life would end in tragedy on this night. My attacker lunged at me again but this time I was prepared, I brought the shoe up and down across his body sending him spiraling to the ground. This was my only chance. I quickly delivered a finishing blow to my adversary and it was over as fast as it had begun. The shoe fell from my hand as I now towered over his nearly lifeless body.

"WHO SENT YOU" I screamed

But I knew he couldn't understand me, he slowly slipped out of consciousness as I fell to my knees, a drop of sweat fell from my forehead as I looked back over my shoulders towards my windows. they were all still closed tight which led me to wondered to myself

"How did this bug get in my damn room!"

Swooping Terror II

The Swooping Assailant

My quest was one of revenge,

I had trekked far and long to finally face down the giant of a man who had slain so many of my brothers and friends and now as I am here in his room looking down over him as he sleeps I realize that this is my moment of reckoning.

I had been hidden away in his room for hours as he worked just waiting for the right opportunity to take his life. I wonder if he would even know it was me who ended his reign of terror, my thoughts were interrupted by his eyes shooting open.

It was almost as if he had sensed my presence. He scanned the room quickly until finally, his eyes met mine. What was going through his mind I will never know but I didn't have time to find out.

I lunged for his neck hoping to end this quickly but he reacted with lightning-quick speed throwing himself to the ground. I attacked again and was soon sent spiraling to the ground by a vicious attack from my prey.

My body went numb with fear as I knew my life would be over in a few moments I looked up at him one last time, he was yelling something but his voice was muffled by my pain. He was a worthy adversary and I was proud to have been defeated by such a high caliber of a man. These were my final thoughts and then everything went black
