55 Word Story - Nothing

This was a writing challenge that an old writing group had asked us to do. At first I thought this would be an easy challenge but soon found out that I was mistaken. Try it some time. Not as easy as it looks.


Nothing.


Whispers.
In the night. Haunting me.
I walk down the deserted road, no one is around.
Laughter.
It starts to rain, lightly. Enough to walk faster.
Footsteps.
I hear someone.
Running.
Somewhere behind me. Breathing hard.
Panic sets in. I run, searching for a safe place. Nothing but darkness.
Pain, nothing but pain.
Then nothing.
