I want you...Tonight

I want you...Tonight(profeat) The red nose pressed against her window at exactly 11a.m on a Thursday night. It was cold and humid outside, like most of the evenings in this ancient looking town. She hated it all; the town, the neighbors, the house, everything including the red nosed bastard who had haunted her window for well over 3 weeks now and none of her neighbors believed her. She always spent her nights at her nearest neighbour's house every time red nose showed up, but even they thought she made it up. Red nose always spent about 10 minutes at her window and left without doing anything but today he was at 15 minutes and going.

She started shaking in fear, now she was about to do something, anything, but before she could make a move red nose left the window but only took a step back and she could still see him. He blew hot air on the window making the glass misty and using a gloved finger drew the heart symbol in between the letters I and U, then he rubbed away the words and blew on the glass again, this time around writing TONIGHT' in capital letters. with that he disappeared...

In fear she sat still for about 10 seconds and tried to listen for footsteps, she heard none. quickly she got up and headed for the door as she decided there was no time to call her neighbours first. she got to the door and tried it, surprised to find it locked from the outside. she tried again and suddenly she started playing out horror movie scenarios in her head. she panicked. letting go of the handle she walked fast through the kitchen to the back door. she found it locked from outside too. Fear had never been with her this much. She frantically looked around the kitchen for any resemblance of a weapon, saw the knife and grabbed it, deciding she might stab herself instead judging from the angle in which she held it. Her mouth was dry and her throat burned with every ounce of saliva she swallowed. The sound of shattering glass made her heart stop. a large brick hurled from outside found its intended target, the light bulb, she let out an eardrum breaking scream.

Her screams did not last long, a hand grabbed her from behind as another covered her mouth, scuffling her screams. It was gloved and the stench emanating from it was deadly. The attacker pressed her against his wet body and she grossed out letting the pan fall and hit the concrete. thinking fast she dug her teeth into the stinking glove and the attacker yelled in pain as he let go for a second. this was all she needed, she sprang forward into the dark in the process knocking down utensils and stumbling down but got up before gravity knew what was happening. She could feel cold air caressing her fresh wounds, blood seeping from them.

The lights in the living room were still on and she knew that was her salvation. she saw the entrance and lunged for it. she couldn't see clearly since her eyes were tearing up and and all she could make out were blurry figures and the light drawing closer as she ran, her attacker hot on her heels knocked over stuff as he pursued her. He grabbed her left leg and she came crashing down, hitting her nose on the doorframe, breaking it in one motion, blood flowed freely mixing with tears and tasting salty in her mouth, the attacker pulled her towards him. Her hands and right leg were flailing aimlessly in epic desperation and somehow a kick landed squarely on his face. He let her go.

She sprang again, now operating on adrenaline alone, all out of breath and strength she made for the living room into the light. the door was locked she remembered and momentarily stopped to weigh her options. Her attacker walked into the room and they faced off, it was red nose, a gushing wound on his face where she had hit him. He smiled yellow teeth thinking she was trapped. she wasn't. making her rashest decision since prom night she brought the window down like a rugby player. Red nose took some time to appreciate the scene.

Screaming as she knocked repeatedly on her neighbours front door, then the windows, she could see lights on in the house yet no one opened. she tried again and then gave up and ran towards another household. no one seemed to care. she was running out of strength but her will pushed on. Red nose was in no hurry and kept his distance and watched her desperately trying to find a safe haven. it was as if he knew she was trapped. None of her neighbours let her in and she could see them looking at her through curtained window panes as she pled for life.

She kept to the road, her toes bleeding and her screams barely audible now. her run had slowed to a fast walk. Red nose followed a close distance behind, whistling a Nirvana tune. realizing her time was running out all she could think about was her end, which soon came to her in the form of a wall and she could go no further. Red nose watched as she tried scaling the wall, even though she knew her actions were useless. scared and beaten she crawled into a human ball of fear trembling and hid her face behind her knees. Red nose stood a couple of feet from her, still whistling, watching her. he stopped and hummed a little bit and then he was quiet. Wondering why it was silent she lifted her head and their eyes met. triumphantly trying to say he won, red nose smiled revealing his yellowish brown teeth. she cowered further into the wall, she knew it was over. sirens could be heard approaching.... I want you, TONIGHT... He whispered.
