Harvest by Clarissa Johal

The stranger had been following her for a while. She'd managed to dodge him, taking several wrong turns, and feeling like she had the upper hand. There had been a few instances where he'd almost caught up with her, but luck was on her side.

Not today, she thought. Not now. Stealing across the cemetery, she felt it was the last place he'd expect her to go. The cemetery was dark and secreted by trees. Moonlight trickled through their naked branches, casting finger-like shadows across the headstones. A chilly breeze blew through the area.

She slipped behind one of the larger headstones and hunkered down. Straining to hear the slightest movement, nothing but silence filled the air. Too much silence, she thought. Usually, there was the sound of crickets or frogs, but to hear nothing, caused a stab of panic. She started to make yet another escape, when a small sound alerted her that she wasn't alone. A chill descended upon her, and she felt her muscles tense.  The stranger had followed her into the cemetery, after all.

She pressed her back against the cold granite, and tried to catch her breath. If she peeked from the headstone, the stranger may see her. But if she didn't, she'd never know which direction to run. Gathering her courage, she looked. The cemetery was devoid of life. Grave markers pointed accusingly at the night sky. She warily stepped from the safety of her hiding place. Traces of moonlight hit her skin and streamed past. Poised at a breath of relief, there was a sudden sharp tap on her shoulder. She turned with a cry.

The shadow of the stranger was frightening, as she'd expected. However, a curious sense of relief washed over her. At least now, she knew what she was dealing with. "Not today," she said, backing away. "Not now."

His reply stopped time.
