I tread that lonely alleyway and I can hear him walking a few yards ahead of me oblivious of my presence. The thick veil of fog tries to hide him even though we are seconds apart, as if it knows that I am up to no good but my senses are much more advanced to be clouded by nature's mischief. I can hear his every heartbeat. I can hear his every breath. I can hear his every pulse.I can even hear the wind swishing through his ruffled hair.
The scene is set for the perfect crime. No one around, only me and him.
As I am about to pounce he sighs. Not contentedly but a heart chilling one....I freeze in mid jump. He is sad, I conclude, but WHY? Curiosity flares through my frozen veins. I want to take a look at this sad stranger's face but I cannot. I am not allowed. I want to hug him and tell him that everything will be alright but I know he will flinch away at my very touch. He will find no solace in my arms or in my frozen embrace.
I stop and watch him walk away. Only if, he braved himself to take the risk, he would have been loved beyond his wildest dreams yet he is just a mere mortal who does not know of my kind's existence. Only if!!!!
