Dark City Street
Alone in a dark city street
Module 3

Flick... the ragged street lights rapidly went out on by one. The darkness enclosed on him as heavy clouds covered the eerie moon. When he looked over his shoulder, all he could see was the whites of eyes and the rustling of cats in the wheely bins. Suddenly, police sirens wailed past. He crouched down in the silent gloom, and waves of sick terror swept over him. He nervously repeated,"stay clam, stay calm", as his heart was palpitating. He glanced again and gradually began pacing up the dark street.
The street was deserted and the night felt eerie and silent. There was no glimmer of light to be seen. Sweat trickled down his back, his stomach was churning , and his knees felt weak, but he still hurried on not daring to look back now. Blindly he stumbled into an alley. There he searched through his stolen goods. Abruptly he heard foot stepts closing in on him. In the distance he could see red and blue lights flashing. In panic, he began to run. He bashed into bins and tripped over cracks in the path, desperately trying to find his way out of the alley.
As he fled from the dark alley, a strong, male voice yelled,"put your hands up", as he tried to run away. Racing up the derelict street, he spotted a pair of yellow eyes advancing towards him. Closer and closer it got, he noticed it was a BMW. He dashed infront of the moving car to cease it and then stole it so he could try escape from the pacing police. The chase was on !!!
The police officer called for back up instantly and tried to catch up with the snatched BMW. The BMW showed no fear as it just kept on going. As the BMW was being chased, it made its way onto a bridge. Suddenly one of the police officers stuck his head out of the window. He pulled out his arm and was carrying a gun in his hand. He the shot at the BMW but missed. Then the officer tried one more time and he hit the tire of the BMW. It then went of of control and it spun three times. On the third spin, it hit the side of the bridge and nearly fell off. The BMW got severely damaged and thick flames burst into the silent night.

    This story starts in a murky alleyway focused on a hidden bundle. A boy just out of infancy, buried in rags, breathing in the thick mist alone. No soul around to feed or care for him. An adult's mind he must obtain. Though short his thread to life is as lung-deep coughs emerge. Slipping into slumber, ghost smoke fills his mind. Fear-filled screams draw our story to this past. We watch as he crawls trading this horror for another. He enters a world of lost love. Gentle hands a fading memory as bruises take their place. His mind, drenched in the scent of alcohol, standing strong. Only an infant he learned to hide. Silent and scared, listening to the thunder on the stairs. No time to play, he'd clean the house. Only a house - not a home. The ache of hunger became his teacher, moulding his movements; mouse-like movements they became. Skills of protection soon followed, encouraged by the pain of others discovery. These skills enabling his escape. An escape we now follow back to the time our story is set. Where it is…
