As I thought back I realised I had never been in more trouble in my life. The night sky was black with neither star nor moonlight to brighten up my path. It weighed heavily in my jacket pocket as I made it through the light mist to a maze of narrow roads that sat on the outscirts of town.
Water from the recent downpour dripped from the gutters of the imposing buildings on either side. Streetlights flickered on and off as a gust of wind parted the mist. I stopped dead.

I knew they would be here soon and I forced myself to think. But I knew that my chances of escaping were very, very small...
