What Sam did not see as she slipped out the door, were the three sets of eyes following her, and the three sets of booted feet marching up and out the door after her. As she strolled down the darkened street, however, the sound of footsteps following her had her on edge, and her shoulders stiffened, though her tuneless whistling didn’t cease.
As she marched around a corner, she quickly slipped away from the sidewalk and into a side alley, blending in with the shadows as the sound of pounding feet skidding around the corner caught her attention. She observed her three stalkers, trying to figure out who they were in the sparse light of the moon, before she realized they were the three men form this morning. What, had they come looking for a fight? Well, Sam decided, if that’s what they wanted, then she was going to bite the bullet and get this over with sooner rather than later. She wasn’t going to run about looking over her shoulder. Even if Bill, Babe and Joe had acted all buddy-buddy at the pub, there was no guarantee it was real. Sam knew it was too good to be true.
I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!
A great adventure! +Imp. Documents+ +Menagerie+ +Wishlist+ +Journal+
