Run, now!

Breathe in, breathe out, 
don’t scream or shout,
be quiet, still,
don’t move, until
you have to, then
you run like hell,
imagining all kinds
of terror.
He’s coming
now, he’s right
behind, please don’t
give in to fear
or fright, run now
fast as you can go,
don’t look behind
or down below,
he’ll catch you if
you steal a glance,
but if you run
you stand a chance.
So run!
