Heart racing.
Blood dripping
Men chasing.
Clothing ripped
Street lights beaming
Shadows stretching
Black jacket man on the run.
Scuffling shoes,
Snap decision.
Badly timed.
Head lights dazzle.
Tires screaching
Sheilding eyes.
Sudden hault
Impatient horns
Angry shouts
Breathing hard
Men chasing.
Turning.
Facing.
“There he is”
“He’s in the road”
Stairs ahead.
Bridge above.
Black jacket surges on.
Black jacket man.
Heart racing.
Scuffling shoes on metal steps.
Looking.
Leeping.
Fingers grasping.
Pulling up onto the ledge.
Wind howling.
Chasers scowling.
Out of reach black Jacket stands.
Climbing slowly.
Chasers follow.
Cold and hollow, black jacket waits.
Standing.
Waiting.
Hesitating.
All three upon the roof top stand.
Arms raising.
Speaking softly.
Arms out stretched.
“Forgive me please”
Leaning backwards.
Men run forward.
Black jacket falls.
The men look over
Black jacket falls
Eyes of horror
Black jacket.
Black jacket
Red stains.
Cracked tarmac
Crimson blood
Cracked skull
Life ending
People screaming
Tears streaming
Cars gather
Traffic haults.
Black jacket lifeless
Black jack young
Black jacket
Black jacket
Black jacket gone
