It was a cold winter day when Alice was coming home from her first day working at Starbucks. Taking a shortcut Alice crossed an open field on highway 27. Crossing the highway Alice spotted two headlights on the horizon. Frightened she ran thinking the car was coming towards her. Once she fully crossed the road she turned back only to see that the car was still in the same spot and was not moving anywhere. Worried, Alice zipped up her bag and began jogging. About to reach the woods she heard a loud screech. Alice turned around her heart racing and with a glimpse she spotted the two small headlights she had seen earlier. This time they were coming at her at an incredible speed. Knowing she could not out run the oncoming car she darted into the thick trees, hoping it would detour her chaser. It did not do much, for after a few minutes she ran into an open spot where she found herself surrounded by cars.

Poem

Cold and frightened, My heart tightens, Dark and alone, I want to go home, Silently I hear, Wind blowing leaves, Birds in the trees, Someone help me, Please!
